Civil Revision No. 2335 of 2009 -1- *** IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 2335 of 2009 Date of decision: 22.2.2010 Rakesh Kumar Bhatia ....Petitioner Versus Tajinder Mohan Singh and another ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Mr. B.R.Mahajan, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. Parminder Singh, Advocate for the respondents. S. D. ANAND, J. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the tenant- petitioner states that he is under instructions from the petitioner (who is present in the Court) to withdraw this petition. However, he would request for grant of little extra time to enable the petitioner-tenant to vacate the tenanted premises in view of the fact that he is a small time shop keeper and he would require sometime to arrange funds to marry off a daughter of marriageable age and also to arrange alternative accommodation in the meantime in order to be able to keep on earning for the sustenance for the family. The learned counsel seeks two years time for the purpose aforementioned. The petitioner-tenant herein is present in Court. By appearance, he does not appear to be in a sound financial condition. He sounds genuine when he cries for little extra time to vacate the Civil Revision No. 2335 of 2009 -2- *** premises aforementioned. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent- landlord states that though he has no objection to grant of some time to the petitioner-tenant to vacate the tenanted premises, demand for two years time for that purpose would appear to be too tall an order. He states that this court may, however, consider the grant of little extra time only if the petitioner tenant personally undertakes to vacate the premises within the time granted by this Court and would be liable before law if he does not honour the undertaking. The petitioner states that he undertakes to vacate the tenanted premises within two years from today. He further undertakes if the undertaking is not honoured, he would be liable to action for contempt of Court. In the light of facts noticed above, the petition shall stand dismissed as withdrawn. The finding recorded by the learned Appellate Authority shall stand affirmed. However, the petitioner- tenant is afforded two years time from today to vacate the premises aforementioned. He shall, ofcourse, clear the arrears of rent within two months from today and shall further keep on paying monthly rent by 10th of every month. February 22, 2010 (S. D. ANAND) Pka JUDGE
