IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.3509 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision : 23.11.2009 Vikas Gupta .....Petitioner versus Ramesh Chander Jaitly .....Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.B.R.Mahajan, Advocate and Ms.Gaganpreet Kaur, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral) This revision petition is directed against the order dated 19.3.2009 passed by the Appellate Authority, Amritsar, whereby the petitioner-tenant's application for amendment of the written statement during the pendency of the appeal against the order of eviction dated 1.3.2007 passed by the Rent Controller, Amritsar, has been dismissed. The amendment in the written statement has been sought purportedly on the basis of subsequent events. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at some length and on perusing the impugned order, I do not find any merit in the revision petition. The only plea taken to seek amendment in the written statement at C.R. No.3509 of 2009 2 the appellate stage is that the respondent-landlord has been granted multiple visa to go abroad and thus, he does not require the demised premises for his own personal use and occupation. The Appellate Authority has dismissed the application after observing that simply because the landlord and his wife have got multiple visa to visit U.S.A., does not mean that the landlord intends to shift abroad. The Appellate Authority has taken notice of the fact that the eviction petition was filed in the year 1999 and even after lapse of 10 years, it has not reached its logical conclusion and the fact that during this long period the landlord has applied for multiple visa to visit U.S.A. to meet his family members, is not an unusual event. No ground to interfere with the impugned order by this Court in exercise of its revisional jurisdiction is made out Dismissed. 23-11-2009 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
