IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R.No.7984 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision : 8.12.2010 Kuldip Singh Sahi ....Petitioner Versus M/s Trehan Auto Parts, Jalandhar Road, Batala ...Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr.B.R.Mahajan, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. The only grievance that has been made in the instant petition is that the petition initiated by the present petitioner under the provisions of Section 13-B of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restrictions Act, 1949 is not progressing further even though an application for leave to defend was filed on 26.4.2006. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the application for leave to defend has to be decided in the first instance and it is only then that objections which have been filed by the respondent could have been considered. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that the instant revision petition can be disposed of C.R.No.7984 of 2010 (O&M) -2- without issuance of notice of motion to the other side, in view of the prayer that has been made herein. Accordingly, the revision petition is disposed of with a direction to the Rent Controller to decide the application filed by the respondent seeking leave to defend within a period of one month from the date of receipt of copy of this order. 8.12.2010 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
