THIS RENT CONTROL REVISION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE & P. S. GOPINATHAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------------ R. C. R. No.337 of 2010 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 1st day of November, 2010 ORDER Pius C. Kuriakose, J Under challenge in this revision under Section 20 is the judgment of the Rent Control Court ordering joint trial of the two Rent Control Petitions filed by the respondent/landlord. Even though Sri.Dilip J. Akkara addressed strenuously, we do not find illegality, irregularity or impropriety as envisaged under Section 20 about the impugned judgment of the Appellate Authority. The submission of Sri.Akkara that prejudice will be caused to the revision petitioner by the order of joint trial does not impress us at all. We are sure R. C. R. No.337 of 2010 -2- that the revision petitioners will be afforded sufficient opportunity by the Rent Control Court for substantiating whatever contentions they have raised in the Rent Control Petitions. In fact, we feel that the view expressed by the Rent Control Appellate Authority that in order that the cause is decided correctly and justly and for a better appreciation of the rival pleadings and evidence a joint trial is necessary, is correct. The RCR is dismissed. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE P. S. GOPINATHAN JUDGE kns/-
