In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh CWP No. 11704 of 2008 Date of decision:10.7.2008 Mrs.Ana Cidaliza Columna Ohri and another ......Petitioners Versus Rent Controller Jalandhar and others .......Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE M.M.KUMAR HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr.S.S.Deol, Advocate, for the petitioners. **** M.M.KUMAR, J. The prayer made in the instant petition is for quashing of order dated 27.5.2008 (Annexure P-6) passed by the Rent Controller, Jalandhar. At the outset, we asked the learned counsel as to how the writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution against the order of the Rent Controller, Jalandhar would be competent especially when remedy of revision under Section 15 of the East Punjab Rent Restriction Act, 1949 is available, where all the prayers, which have been made in the instant petition under Article 226, could be made. In response to the query made by the Court, learned counsel states that he is seeking a simple direction to the Rent Controller, Jalandhar for expeditious disposal of the ejectment application filed by the petitioners-landlord. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners, we are CWP No. 11704 of 2008 -2- of the view that the remedy of writ petition under Article 226 can not be invoked especially when a regular remedy under the Act itself is available and all such prayers, which have been made in the instant petition could be made before the revisional Court. The writ petition, thus, is not maintainable and is dismissed as such. (M.M.KUMAR) JUDGE (SABINA) JUDGE July 10, 2008 anita
