C.R. No.38 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No.38 of 2010 (O&M) Decided on : 29-04-2010 Tarlochan Singh .... Petitioner VERSUS Satish Gupta .... Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER. Present:- Mr. B.S. Guliani, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Girish Agnihotri, Senior Advocate with Ms. Binoyjeet sheoran, Advocate, and Mr. Arvind Seth, Advocate, for the respondent. MAHESH GROVER, J (Oral). This revision petition is directed against the order dated 21.12.2009 passed by the Rent Controller, Chandigarh. This Court had directed the petitioner that he shall pay Rs.10,00,000/- provisionally to the landlord on or before September 15, 2009 and the actual rate of rent shall be determined along with other issues by the Rent Controller. The Court observed that both the parties shall offer to cooperate for an early disposal of the petition. The Court further observed that the matter be disposed of as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four months from the date of receipt of the records. Thereafter, learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner and the C.R. No.38 of 2010 (O&M) -2- respondent urged the Rent Controller to determine the provisional rate of rent, which was declined vide order dated 21.12.2009. The Court by doing so referred to the order dated 17.8.2009 passed by this Court in C.W.P. No.1130 of 2009 and stated that this court had observed that the petitioner shall pay Rs.10,00,000/- provisionally to the landlord, subject to the condition that the actual rate of rent is to be determined along with other issues. In my view, the order of this Court was unambiguous, and therefore, the insistence of the petitioner to determine the rate of rent provisionally in the first instance seems to be an attempt to be an unnecessary impediment in the final disposal of the matter. Thus, there is no legal infirmity in the impugned order and the revision petition is, accordingly, dismissed. Consequently, the application for stay is also dismissed. 29th April, 2010.
