Civil Revision No.5873 of 2010 -: 1 :- IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.5873 of 2010 Date of decision: October 01, 2010. Roshan ...Petitioner(s) v. Lachman Dass ...Respondent(s) CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Shri Sanjay Mittal, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Shri Ajay Kumar Kansal, Advocate, for the respondents. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia , J. (Oral): The petitioner-tenant herein filed an application before the Rent Controller, Narwana, that he be permitted to inspect the first and second floors of the demised building and the original photographs Ex.P-13 to P-54 be provided for effective cross examination of Shri F.J.S Jolly, Building Expert, produced by the petitioner. In the present case, eviction petition was filed to seek ejectment of tenant on the ground that building has become unsafe and unfit for human habitation. To fortify this ground, landlord has cited Shri C.J.S. Jolly as the witness. I have heard the Counsel for the parties. Cross examination should not be a mere formality; a fair chance Civil Revision No.5873 of 2010 -: 2 :- ought to be given to the parties to dislodge the expert opinion. To do so, inspection of the first and second floors of the demised building is just and proper. Therefore, this request ought to have been accepted and no prejudice will be caused in case original photographs Ex.P-13 to P-54 are supplied to the Counsel for the tenant for effective cross examination. Hence, the present petition is accepted. Application filed by the tenant for the above stated relief is allowed. Counsel for the respondent has stated that the application has been only filed in order to delay the culmination of the proceedings pending before the trial court and it is stated that earlier also an application was filed which was dismissed by the trial court. To set at rest the apprehension of the landlord, Rent Controller is directed to conclude the proceedings arising out of the eviction petition within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order by affording three effective opportunities to both the parties to lead their respective evidence.
