IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R. No. 6086 of 2009. [O&M] Date of Decision: 7th December, 2009. Amrik Singh Petitioner through Mr. A.K.Bakshi, Advocate Versus Lakhvir Singh Respondents through Mr. M.S.Khaira, Sr. Advocate with Mr. B.S.Sewak, Advocate. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? SURYA KANT, J. [ORAL) This Revision Petition is directed by the tenant against the eviction order dated 19.12.2007 passed by the Rent Controller, Jalandhar which has been further upheld by the Appellate Authority, Jalandhar vide order dated 18.8.2009. Vide the impugned orders, the petitioner has been ordered to be evicted from the demised premises comprising a shop situated in Rama Mandi, Hoshiarpur Road, Jalandhar, on the ground of personal necessity. On 17.11.2009, learned counsel for the petitioner argued the matter at some length and thereafter made a statement that the petitioner does not want to press this petition on merits provided that a reasonable period of not less than one year is granted to him to vacate the demised premises. The petitioner, who is present in Court, has also deposed to that effect on oath. Notice of motion was issued on that ground and pursuant thereto, learned counsel for the parties have been heard. It is true that the respondent – landlord has sought eviction of the petitioner on the ground of personal necessity as he has to start his own business, however, taking into consideration the mitigating circumstances, like the petitioner's tenancy of more than 30 years old and he needs time to make alternative arrangements and that he has two grown-up daughters, I am of the considered view that petitioner deserves to be granted one year's time to vacate the demised premises. Consequently, and for the reasons aforementioned, the revision petition is disposed of having not been pressed on merits, subject to the following conditions:- [i] that the petitioner – tenant shall hand-over the vacant possession of the demised premises to the respondent – landlord on or before 1.12.2010; [ii] the petitioner – tenant shall deposit or pay by way of Demand Draft, the arrears of rent, if any, within one month from today; [iii] the petitioner shall pay future monthly rent by 10th day of every calendar month; Dasti.
