IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.1786 of 2010 Date of decision: 20th August, 2010 Pinki Rani alias Danial Kumar … Petitioner Versus Anil Mahajan … Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. Rahul Chhatwal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Aman Kashyap, Advocate for the respondent. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) Present petition has been filed assailing the order (Annexure P-5) dated 17th February, 2010 passed by the Rent Controller, Chandigarh, whereby application filed by the petitioner was declined, in which a prayer was made that the respondent-tenant be asked to write in Hindi or English and that writing be sent for comparison to the handwriting expert. The respondent-tenant took a categoric stand and stated that he only knew to append his signatures in English and that he was unable to write in Hindi or English. It is not disputed that the tenant had given a specimen of his signatures in English to the Court, which according to the handwriting expert, was not sufficient for the comparison. That being so, the issue which during the course of proceedings, the Rent Controller will have to examine, is as to whether the tenant can write in Hindi or English language or not. For this, essentially a foundation has to be laid by the Civil Revision No.1786 of 2010 landlord. Thus, no ground is made out to interfere with the discretion validly exercised by the Rent Controller, Chandigarh. Hence, the present petition is hereby dismissed. [KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA] JUDGE August 20, 2010 rps 2
