CR No. 5797 of 2007 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No. 5797 of 2007 Decided on : 20-11-2008 Jit Ram ....Petitioner VERSUS Sarup Singh ....Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER Present:- Mr. Surinder Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Atul Jain, Advocate for the respondent. MAHESH GROVER, J This revision petition is directed against the order dated 10th April, 2007 vide which the application of the petitioner for setting aside ex parte eviction order pursuant to the provisions of Section 13-B of East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949 has been declined. The petitioner was duly served in the proceedings. The only plea that has been taken is that he had signed the summons in the ejectment petition under the impression that it was pertaining to House Tax and that he was not aware of the ejectment proceedings initiated against him. Plea of the petitioner is too far-fetched to be accepted. He has not denied the signatures on the summons. It is also a settled principal of law that summary procedure in these proceedings under Section 13B of the Act have to be followed within a stipulated period of time and if it is not done, it renders a valid and substantial right in favour of the respondent-landlord. Admittedly, the petitioner has tried to defeat that right by denying the CR No. 5797 of 2007 2 service of the summons upon him, which is belied from the fact that he had put his signatures on the summons. Therefore, there being no material to show that the petitioner has not been served, impugned order cannot be said to be suffering from any infirmity and the same is hereby dismissed.
