Heard both sides. 3. The respondent herein, who is landlord, filed the suit for eviction of the petitioner herein, who is the tenant, and for recovery of rents. No doubt, the court has got power under Order XVA of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, to direct the tenant to deposit the admitted rent in a suit for recovery of eviction. But, at the same time, the impugned order was passed without hearing the petitioner/tenant. Therefore, the trial court exceeded its jurisdiction in directing the tenant to pay an amount of Rs.72,000/-. Hence, the impugnd order is set aside. However, the trial court shall dispose of the application within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order after giving due opportunity to both the parties and decide the issue in accordance with law. 4. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is allowed. No costs. ______________ K.C.BHANU. J JUNE 11, 2010. YVL/MD
