Civil Revision No. 5306 of 2010 1 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, at Chandigarh. Civil Revision No. 5306 of 2010 Date of Decision: 23.8.2010 Vijay Kumar …Petitioner Versus Amar Singh Sodhi …Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. Present: Mr. Sudhir Paruthi, Advocate for the petitioner. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) Respondent Amar Singh is owner of House No. 108, Sector 4, Panchkula. He filed an eviction petition against the petitioner claiming himself to be the landlord of the demised premises. It was pleaded in the eviction petition that the premisses was leased out to the petitioner at the rate of Rs.35,000/- per month, who gave five post dated cheques in lieu of the rent. The petitioner had raised a plea that he had paid some amount by way of cheque and some in cash, without any receipt and an oral agreement to sell was executed by the respondent/owner of the property on 14.5.2008. Thus, there was no relationship of landlord and tenant between the parties. On the other hand, the petitioner filed a suit for specific performance of the oral agreement. Due to filing of the suit for specific performance, on the basis of oral agreement, an application under Order 7 Rule 11 CPC was filed by him for rejection of Civil Revision No. 5306 of 2010 2 the eviction petition. The Rent Controller, Panchkula, formulated a view that mere filing of the suit for specific performance, on the basis of an oral agreement, is not sufficient to accept the application and reject the petition. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he will confine his payer to the extent that the eviction petition, filed by the respondent/landlord and the civil suit, filed for specific performance by the petitioner, be tried by one Court, so that in parallel proceedings, judicial embarrassment may not be caused. I find merit in the contention made by learned counsel for the petitioner. The District Judge, Panchkula, is directed to entrust the eviction petition, filed by the respondent against the petitioner and the civil suit (Annexure P2), filed by the petitioner, to one Court, which shall try the same separately but simultaneously. With the observations made above, the present revision petition is disposed of. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge August 23, 2010 “DK”
