Civil Revision No. 2879 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 2879 of 2009 Date of decision : 24.5.2010 Gurjinder Singh ....Petitioner Versus Nasib Singh and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Mr. G.S.Bajaj, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. N.S.Dandiwal, Advocate for the respondents S. D. ANAND, J. It is apparent from a conjunctive perusal of the orders dated 29.4.2004 and 18.2.2009 that the case, which was initially pending in the Court of Ms. Manjot Kaur, Rent Controller, was transferred to the Court of Mr. H.S.Grewal, Rent Controller, Bathinda, on the abolition of the former Court. The latter Court noticed that the respondents had been served for appearance in the Court on 29.4.2004 but none had entered appearance on their behalf. The exparte proceedings were ordered against the petitioner herein and the matter was adjourned for recording exparte evidence. The petitioner herein challenged the impugned order and is in revision against the impugned orders dated 29.4.2004 and 18.2.2009. It is apparent from the record that the petitioner herein Civil Revision No. 2879 of 2009 2 had not been served for appearance before the transferee Court. In that view of things, it was incumbent upon the transferee Court to notify the pendency to the petitioner herein. It being apparent from the record that the learned transferee Court did not notify the pendency of the case to the petitioner herein, the impugned ejectment order cannot be upheld. The petition shall stand allowed accordingly. The impugned orders dated 29.4.2004 and 18.2.2009 shall stand set aside. The learned Rent Controller shall proceed to decide the ejectment plea in accordance with law. In view of the fact that the initially filed ejectment petition pertains to the year 2003, the learned counsel for the parties have no objection to the grant of an order for time-bound disposal of the matter which (order) would, even otherwise, be in accord with the law laid down by this Court, vide order dated 4.5.2010 granted in Civil Revision No.302 of 2010 (Sandeep Ghai Vs. Neeraj Malhotra). The parties, through their learned counsel, are directed to appear before the learned Rent Controller on 4.6.2010. The learned Rent Controller shall dispose of the main petition itself within six months therefrom. The acknowledgment (of a copy of this order) issued by the concerned Judicial Officer shall be forwarded to the Registry of this Court. Learned District Judge shall himself maintain a tab to ensure that the case is disposed of by afore-mentioned date. Disposed of accordingly. May 24, 2010 (S. D. ANAND) Pka JUDGE
