Present : Mr.Sukhpal Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral) In this revision petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner seeks directions to the Rent Controller, Ludhiana, to expedite the trial of Rent Petition No.47 dated 10.10.2003, titled “Harvinder Singh versus Punjab National Bank”, filed by the petitioner for ejectment of the respondent under Section 13-B of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, and decide the same in a time bound manner. {2} Relying upon the zimini orders passed by the Rent Controller, Ludhiana from time to time, it is urged on behalf of the petitioner that the respondent is delaying the case on one pretext or the other. C.R. No.7502 of 2009 (O&M) 2 {3} Having heard counsel for the petitioner, I am of the considered view that though it is difficult to issue any time bound directions as there might be some other older cases still pending consideration before the Rent Controller and no out of turn treatment can, therefore, be given to the rent petition filed by the petitioner, however, considering the legislative intent behind Section 13-B read with Section 18-A of the Act and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this revision petition is disposed of with a direction to the Rent Controller, Ludhiana, to make an endeavour to decide the Rent Petition No.47 dated 10.10.2003, titled “Harvinder Singh versus Punjab National Bank” as early as possible and preferably within a period of six months. {5} Disposed of. {6} Dasti. 17-12-2009 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
