Mr.CP Soni, for the appellant. Mr.OP Joshi, for the respondents. - - - - - Heard learned counsel for the parties. The writ petition of the appellant/petitioner was dismissed by the learned Single Judge vide order dated 12.9.2007 by following the judgment delivered in SB Civil Writ Petition No.691/2007 (Akhtar Ali vs. ADJ (FT), Merta City) decided on 13.8.2007, copy of which is available on record. Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that the State Government by enacting Rajasthan Rent Control Second Amendment Act, 2005 made certain amendments in Rajasthan Rent Control Act, 2000 and by virtue of those amendments, Rent Control Act, 2000 has been made applicable to the Town of Merta also. The plea of the appellant is on the basis of “aims and objects” of the 2 amending Act of 2005 wherein it has been stated that at present, the Act is applicable to municipality having the population of more than fifty thousand as per 1991 census. This condition of fifty thousand has been removed and the Act has been made applicable in Merta. On the basis of above, according to learned counsel for the appellant, the act is required to be interpreted to achieve the aim and objects of the Act. We considered the submissions and perused the reasons given in the impugned judgment and the judgment given in the case of Akhtar Ali (supra) which clearly demonstrates that the plea raised by the appellant has no merit. Learned counsel for the appellant at this stage submitted that he can be evicted after coming into force of Rent Control Act, 2000 in the City of Merta. This argument is devoid of any force and has been submitted absolutely misplacedly here. In view of the above, this appeal also, having no merit, is hereby dismissed. (BHANWAROO KHAN), J.
