Present: Mr. V.G.Dogra, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Sanjay Tangri, Advocate for the respondents. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) The respondent/landlord had filed a petition under Section 13- B of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, seeking eviction of the petitioner/tenant. The petitioner/tenant filed an application dated 30.1.2006 (Annexure P4) seeking leave to defend the said petition and the same was declined by the Rent Controller, Nakodar, vide order dated 14.11.2008 (Annexure P6). The said order has been assailed before this Court. During the course of arguments, learned counsel for the respondent/landlord has submitted that in case the Rent Controller, Nakodar, is directed to decide the eviction petition within a stipulated time, he will not oppose the present petition. Civil Revision No. 65 of 2009 2 I find merit in the contention advanced by learned counsel for the respondent/landlord. In view of the submission made by learned counsel for the respondent/landlord, leave to defend the eviction petition is granted to the petitioner/tenant. However, the Rent Controller, Nakodar, is directed to decide the eviction petition, within a period of nine months, from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order, by affording three effective opportunities to both the parties, to lead their evidence. With the observations made above, the present revision petition is disposed of. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge July 29, 2010 “DK”
