C.R. No. 4357 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No. 4357 of 2010 Date of Decision: 22.09.2010 Surinder Kaur .... Petitioner Versus Joginder Singh ... Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK SINGH Present : Mr. Amit Rawal, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. K.S. Bhoparai, Advocate for the respondent 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? ALOK SINGH, J. (ORAL) Present petition is filed challenging order dated 28.5.2010 passed by learned Rent Controller, Ludhiana thereby assessing the provisional rent. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that relationship of landlord-tenant is denied between parties. Learned counsel for the petitioner further states that since relationship of landlord-tenant is denied by the petitioner, hence, there is no question of assessment of rent and to deposit the rent. If OP tenant denies the relationship of landlord-tenant between the parties and does not tender/deposit the rent, he does so at his own risk. Learned counsel for the respondent states that by C.R. No. 4357 of 2010 2 denying the relationship, petitioner wants to cause delay in the eviction proceedings. Learned counsel for the respondent further states that relationship of landlord-tenant between the parties is admitted in Paragraph No. 3 of the Preliminary Objections of written statement as well as in Paragraph No. 3(iii) of On Merits in the written statement. Without expressing any opinion on the question of relationship of landlord-tenant between the parties, I do not find any reason to interfere with the impugned order. This is for the tenant (petitioner herein) to make deposit or not to make deposit denying the relationship at his own risk. Petition stands disposed of with direction to learned Rent Controller to decide the eviction petition at the earliest in accordance with law without granting unnecessary adjournment to either of the party.
