IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R. No. 6356 of 2009. [O&M] Date of Decision: 17th December, 2009. Kamlesh Rani @ Kailash Rani & Ors. Petitioners through Mr. Sudhir Pruthi, Advocate Versus Paramjit Singh Bahra . Respondent through Mr. N.S.Sodhi, Advocate. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 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? SURYA KANT, J. [ORAL) This Revision Petition is directed by the tenant against the eviction order dated 20.08.2009 passed by the Rent Controller, Jalandhar, under Section 13-B of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949. The eviction order pertains to a shop situated at Railway Road, Near Maharaja Cycle Works, Jalandhar. During the course of hearing, learned counsel for the petitioners, on instructions from petitioner No.2, who is present in Court, states that given permission to retain possession till 31.12.2010, they do not want to press this revision petition on merits. Learned counsel for the respondent, however, states that only six months time may be granted. On a consideration of the facts and circumstances and the hardship likely to be faced by the petitioners, I am of the considered view that the petitioners deserve to be granted one year period to vacate the demised premises. It can not be over-looked that the demised shop was let out to their predecessor-in-interest way back in the year 1971 and the shop in dispute appears to be the only source of their livelihood. They require a reasonable period to find out an alternative site and shift their business activities. Consequently, the revision petition is disposed of in the following terms:- [i] all the petitioners shall submit their undertakings by way of their respective affidavits before the Rent Controller, Jalandhar, within two weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order, to the effect that they shall hand-over peaceful vacant possession of the demised shop to the respondent – landlord on or before 31.12.2010; [ii] the petitioners shall also undertake that the arrears of rent, if any, shall be paid by them to the respondent by 31.01.2010; [iii] the petitioners shall further give an undertaking that they shall keep on paying the monthly rent till they vacate the premises on or before 31.12.2010 by the 10th day of every calendar month. Disposed of. Dasti. December 17, 2009. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
