IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH COCP No. 1952 of 2010 Date of decision:- 7.10.2010 Smt. Pushpa Sharma ......petitioner vs. Sat Pal ......respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA Present: - Mr. B.S. Bisht, Advocate for the petitioner HEMANT GUPTA, J (ORAL) Petitioner landlady filed an eviction petition against the respondent. Learned Rent Controller allowed the ejectment petition on 14.3.2004. In an appeal filed by the tenant, petitioner moved an application for directing the tenant to deposit the current market rent. In the said application this Court in Civil Revision No. 308 of 2010 passed an order of payment of Rs. 2500/- per month as mesne profits from 22.12.2008. It is admitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that after the aforesaid order was passed, the appeal has been allowed and eviction order has been set aside. In view of the said fact, interim order granting mesne profits cannot be enforced. The tenant in the absence of an eviction order, is liable to pay only agreed rate of interest. I do not find that any case is made out for initiation of contempt proceedings on the basis of an interim order. Consequently, the present contempt petition is dismissed.
