HON’BLE THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE SRI B.PRAKASH RAO CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.5368 of 2010 ORDER: Heard both sides and at their request the main Civil Revision Petition itself is taken up for disposal. The petitioners who are the tenants filed this Revision under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, inter alia, seeking to assail the correctness of the order dated 21.10.2010, passed in I.A.No.409 of 2010 in R.C.No.73 of 2020 on the file of the Principal Rent Controller, Secunderabad, in dismissing the application filed under Order VI Rule 17 C.P.C., praying to permit them to amend the counter by adding para 17(a) after para 17. The Court below held that the present application itself is a pre-mature one since application for fixation of fair rent i.e., R.C.No.187 of 2008 is still pending and is not yet adjudicated. Having heard learned counsel appearing on either side and on a perusal of the relevant material on record, it could be seen that mere claim as such would neither confer any jurisdiction nor takes away the same. In view of the same, as long as proper finding of fact is there, it cannot be said that there is an issue with a liability which could be looked into. Hence, the petitioners are granted liberty to take appropriate steps soon after the application filed for fixation of fair rent is finalized. Subject to the above, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. However, there shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ B.PRAKASH RAO, HACJ 19th November 2010 DR
