IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.3069 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: July 28, 2009. Surinder Kumar ...Petitioner(s) v. Smt. Krishna Devi ...Respondent(s) CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. Whether to be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Shri Jagdish Manchanda, Advocate, for the petitioner. ORDER Surya Kant, J. - (Oral): This revision petition is directed by the petitioner-tenant against the order dated 29.9.2008 passed by the Rent Controller, Karnal ordering his eviction from the demised premises comprising a residential house No.RB-70/VIII situated at Vakilpura, Sadar Bazar, Karnal, as well as against the order dated 4.4.2009 passed by the Appellate Authority, Karnal, whereby his appeal against the above mentioned eviction order has been dismissed. During the course of hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner, on instructions from the petitioner, submits that the petitioner is not keen to press this revision petition on merits, provided that some reasonable period may be granted to him to vacate the premises. Though, there is a concurrent finding returned by the courts below that the demised premises is unfit/unsafe for human habitation, however, keeping in view the fact that the petitioner is living in the said premises from the last over 30-35 years, I am of the considered view that it would be reasonable to grant him six months more time to vacate the same. The revision petition is accordingly disposed of in the following terms:- (i) the petitioner, if so advised, may give an undertaking by way of an affidavit before the Rent Controller, Karnal within two weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order, to the effect that he shall hand over the peaceful vacant possession of the demised premises to the respondent-landlord by 31.1.2010; (ii) the petitioner shall deposit the arrears of rent, if any, within a period of one month and shall continue to pay the rent by the 10th day of each calendar month till he vacates the premises; (iii) the respondent-landlord shall not be responsible for the damage/loss caused to the person or property of the petitioner- tenant due to the dilapidated condition of the house; (iv) if the petitioner fails to give undertaking as per (i) above, this revision petition shall be taken to have been dismissed.
