HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.3993 of 2008 and CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.4041 of 2008 Date: October 19, 2011 CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.3993 of 2008: Between: A. Manik Rao … Petitioner And 1. Mrs. K. Suneetha Weseley & another … Respondents * * * CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.4041 of 2008: Between: A. Manik Rao … Petitioner And 1. Mrs. K. Suneetha Weseley & another … Respondents * * * HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.3993 of 2008 and CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.4041 of 2008 COMMON ORDER: These two revisions are preferred by the tenant. While the C.R.P. No.4041 of 2008 arises out of eviction proceedings initiated against the petitioner-tenant by the respondents-landlords, C.R.P. No.3993 of 2008 arises out of the applications filed by the respondents-landlords for fixation of fair rent under Section 4 of the A.P. Buildings (Lease, Rent & Eviction) Control Act, 1960 (for short ‘the Act’). 2. Both the proceedings taken up by the respondents-landlords were dismissed by the learned Rent Controller primarily on the ground that the rent, even according to the respondents, is Rs.1,300/- per month which is beyond the purview of the Rent Controller under the Act. However, the learned Rent Controller also recorded certain findings on merits which compelled the respondents-landlords to move the appellate court and by separate orders passed by the lower appellate court in each of these revisions, the finding of the Rent Controller that it had no jurisdiction to entertain as the eviction petition or fixation of fair rent was confirmed. The lower appellate court also held that in view of the said jurisdiction issue being answered in favour of the tenant, no further finding on merits was warranted by the Rent Controller. Accordingly it had set aside the other findings of the learned Rent Controller. Thus, the petitioner-tenant having succeeded in defeating both the petitions filed by the respondents- landlords, there is no warrant for the petitioner-tenant to maintain these revision petitions before this court, especially as the landlords have not questioned the finding of the learned Rent Controller or the appellate authority on the jurisdiction aspect. 3. In view of that, both the civil revision petitions are liable to be dismissed and are accordingly dismissed. No costs. ____________________________ VILAS V. AFZUL PURKAR, J Date: October 19, 2011. BSB
