Whether the judgement should be reported in the Digest ? Present: Mr. Rajinder Goyal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Kanwaljit Singh, Sr. Advocate with Ms. Harpreet, Advocate for the respondent. ... Alok Singh, J.(Oral) Present petition is filed challenging the order dated 11.6.2010, passed by the Appellate Authority/Additional District Judge, Chandigarh, whereby appeal was directed to be admitted, however, stay against the execution of ex-parte judgement/decree was not granted. While admitting the appeal, the Appellate Authority has observed that there are arguable points in the appeal. If in the appeal, the Appellate Authority prima-facie finds CR No. 3926 of 2010 2 arguable points, while admitting the appeal, ordinarily operation and effect of the execution of the decree must follow. Mr. Kanwaljit Singh, learned senior counsel placed emphasis upon the fact that the petitioner – tenant was well within his knowledge about the pendency of the eviction petition. However, the fact remains that the tenant was never served personally and only substituted service was said to be effected on the tenant by Munadi and affixation. Without commenting on the merits of the case, I hereby direct that the operation and effect of the decree shall remain stay during the pendency of the appeal. The Appellate Authority is directed to decide the appeal on its own merits within 90 days from the date certified copy of this order is placed before it. ( Alok Singh ) Judge 26.11.2010 sk.
