IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.6369 of 2008 (O&M) Date of decision: 19th November, 2008 Som Nath … Petitioner Versus Atam Parkash … Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. Hari Om Attri, Advocate for the petitioner. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) Petitioner is aggrieved against the order dated 13th October, 2008 passed by the Rent Controller, whereby provisional rent was assessed as Rs.750/- per month, instead of Rs.1000/- as claimed by the landlord. Petitioner is a tenant. He has taken a stand that the rent of the demised premises was Rs.230/- per month. The order assessing the provisional rent is of interim in nature. Parties shall get adequate and fair opportunity to lead evidence regarding determination of the rent. It has been held in Rakesh Wadhawan v. M/s Jagdamba Industrial Corporation, 2002 (1) RCR (Rent) 514 (SC) that any amount paid in excess can be adjusted or any deficiency in the interest can be made good later. Therefore, interim order cannot be set aside while exercising revisional jurisdiction. Hence, there is no merit in the present revision petition and the same is dismissed.
