Present: Shri A.D.S.Sukhija, Advocate for the petitioners. ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral): This revision petition is directed against the order dated 25.7.2007 passed by the Rent Controller, Sangrur, whereby the petitioner-tenants have been held liable to pay a sum of Rs.1,72,733/- towards the arrears of rent, as well as the order dated 1.10.2008 passed by the Appellate Authority, upholding the above mentioned order. It may be noticed here that no order of eviction was required to be passed by the Courts below as the petitioners have already vacated the premises. The impugned orders reveal that a rent agreement dated 16.4.2000 (Ex.A1) was executed between the parties and pursuant Civil Revision No.430 of 2009 2 thereto, the petitioners were required to prove the payment of rent at the agreed rate of Rs.08/- paise per bag. The petitioner is a Government Corporation. It is not in dispute that the rent has always been paid by it through cheque/drafts and not in cash. The officials of the petitioners have entered into the witness box and produced the record, on perusal thereof, both the Courts below have concurrently found that the total rent, to which the respondent-landlord was entitled, was Rs.3,52,404/- and after deducting the actual payments made by them, the petitioners were still in arrears of Rs.1,72,733/- . The impugned orders being based upon the correct reading and appreciation of evidence on record, no interference by this Court in the exercise of its revisional jurisdiction is called for. Dismissed. (Surya Kant) Judge 29.7.2009 AS
