Civil Revision No. 1770 of 2009 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 1770 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 30.03.2009 Geeta Mohan ....Petitioner Versus Shivanwanti and another ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD K. SHARMA Present: - Mr. Sudhir Paruthi, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** VINOD K. SHARMA, J (ORAL) This revision petition is directed against the order dated 9.10.2007 passed by the learned Rent Controller, Jalandhar, as affirmed by the learned appellate authority ordering eviction of the petitioners on the ground of subleting. The respondent-landlord filed a petition under Section 13 of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act for ejectment of the petitioner-tenant from the shop on the ground of subleting. The case set up by the respondent-landlord was that Geeta Mohan petitioner was inducted as tenant. However, she shifted to Canada by subleting the premises to Rakesh respondent No. 2. The petition was contested by taking a stand that the business was still being run by Geeta Mohan through her brother, who was merely acting as her agent, and not running the business in his own right, thus, Civil Revision No. 1770 of 2009 (O&M) -2- there was no question of subletting. However, in the cross-examination, Rakesh petitioner admitted that he was running the business as proprietor of the firm and paying the income tax. The learned Rent Controller as well appellate authority rightly held that the admission was best form of evidence, and in view of the admission made by Rakesh, no other conclusion but to hold that it was a case of subletting could be arrived at. The finding is based on the evidence and admission, which does not call for any interference by this Court. No merit. Dismissed. (Vinod K. Sharma) Judge March 30, 2009 R.S.
