O R D E R This revision petition is filed under Section 115 of Code of Civil Procedure challenging the order of the District Court, Ernakulam, in C.M.A.No.967/02, which was an appeal filed under Section 9 of the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971, (for short 'the Act'). An order of eviction was passed against the petitioner under Section 5(1) of the Act. Admittedly, petitioner was served with a notice stating that the company committed default in payment of rent to a sum of Rs.6.24 lakhs as on 6.11.2001. It was also stated that petitioner has caused nuisance to other units in the export Zone. Notice was received by the petitioner and a reply was sent denying the allegation. An order of eviction was passed on 7.6.2002. Order was challenged in the appeal. The learned District Judge considered the appeal on merit and passed a detailed order upholding the order of eviction. It is challenged in this revision petition. CRP No.273/2004 2 2. The argument of the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner is that the order of the learned District Judge is against natural justice, as records relied upon by the learned District Judge were handed over by the respondent to the court, and petitioner did not get an opportunity to go through the documents. It was also argued that even though an order of eviction was passed under the Act, learned District Judge considered it, in the light of the provisions of Government Grants Act, 1885, and, therefore, the order is illegal. 3. On going through the order of learned District Judge, I cannot agree with the submission. Learned District Judge has considered the appeal in terms of Section 9 of the Act. It was contended before the learned District Judge that petitioner is only an unauthorised occupant of the premises in question. Reliance was placed on Government Grants Act, 1885 to consider that question. Relying on the decision of the Apex Court, contentions raised by the respondents were upheld. Learned District Judge specifically found that petitioner is in unauthorised occupation of the building in violation of the terms of the agreement. It is in such circumstances, appeal was dismissed. I do not find any illegality or irregularity in the impugned CRP No.273/2004 3 order warranting interference. Revision Petition is dismissed. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE nj.
