1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO.760 OF 2011 (Ramnaresh Shriram Tiwari vs. Sudhakar Narayan Gokhale and another) __________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Shri M.P. Lala, Advocate for the petitioner. Shri R.R. Srivastava, Advocate for the respondent no.1. ------- CORAM : R.M. SAVANT, J. DATED : JUNE 20, 2011 In the above petition filed under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner takes exception to the two orders dated 6/2/2009 and 18/8/2010. By the first order, the competent Authority, Nagpur under the Maharashtra Rent Control Act has rejected the application filed by the petitioner for permission to participate in the eviction proceedings filed by the respondent no.1 herein, i.e. landlord. By the second order dated 18/8/2010, the revision filed by the petitioner against the said order came to be rejected and the said order came to be confirmed. The respondent no.1 herein 2 has filed the eviction suit against the petitioner and the respondent no.2 herein. Insofar as the said proceedings filed before the competent Authority are concerned, the petitioner was noticed in the said proceedings on two occasions, but on both the occasions, the notice, which was sent by registered A.D. came back with the remark as “not claimed”. The competent Authority on the said basis did not deem it fit to allow the petitioner’s application for right to participate and, therefore, by order dated 6/2/2009 rejected the said application. Aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner filed revision application being Revision No. 7/2008-09, which also came to be rejected on the self same ground that in spite of the notice, the petitioner has not taken steps in terms of Section 43 of the said Act. In my view, the reasons given by both the Authorities cannot be faulted with. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. JUDGE khj 3
