IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.5455 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: September 10, 2010. Inderjit ...Petitioner(s) v. Ram Lakhan & Ors. ...Respondent(s) CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Shri Manoj Kumar Sood, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Shri V.K. Sandhir, Advocate, for respondent No.2. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia , J. (Oral): The Rent Controller relied upon the deposition of the petitioner-landlord in cross examination that he went to America in the second week of March 1995 and returned to India in the month of December, 1997, but thereafter he had been here. The present eviction petition was filed in the year 2007. During his stay in India for more than ten years he had already lost the status of an NRI. Hence, the Rent Controller has rightly held in para 15 of the impugned judgment that petitioner cannot invoke Section 13-B of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949 against the respondents. Finding recorded by the Rent Controller is based upon correct appreciation of evidence and, there being no infirmity in the same, no interference is called for. Dismissed. [Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia] September 10, 2010. Judge kadyan
