(Oral) In the present revision petition, the petitioner has assailed the order dated 19.8.2009, passed by the Rent Controller, Ludhiana, whereby the provisional rent was assessed. The Rent Controller quantified the rent for the period of 19 years commencing from 31.3.1990 to 31.8.2009. It was a categoric stand of the tenant that he had already paid the rent upto October 2006. Learned counsel for the petitioner has pleaded, in the present revision petition, that the landlord, who was an experienced litigant, was not expected to wait for 19 years to approach the Court for payment of rent. A Co-ordinate Bench of this Court, on 5.10.2009, while issuing notice of motion, directed the petitioner to deposit a sum of Rs.50,000/- Civil Revision No.5699 of 2009 2 towards arrears of rent, without prejudice to his legal rights. A perusal of order dated 8.12.2009 shows that the petitioner has complied with the order dated 5.10.2009 and deposited a sum of Rs.50,000/- in the Court of Rent Controller, Ludhiana. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, the present revision petition is disposed of with a direction that the tenant shall deposit the rent for the period from October 2006 till 31.8.2009. Regarding the rent for the period from 31.3.1990 till October 2006, during the course of trial, the Rent Controller, Ludhiana, on the basis of evidence to be led by the parties, shall determine as to whether the rent was paid or not. In case, there is any deficiency in the payment, the same shall be made good lateron. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge July 27, 2010 “DK”
