IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.2120 of 2010 Date of decision: 3rd August, 2010 Amar Singh … Petitioner Versus Mamta Rani … Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. P.S. Punia, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.K. Sandhir, Advocate for the respondent. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) Present petition has been filed by the tenant, who has been ordered to be evicted in pursuance of eviction petition filed by the respondent-landlady. In the ejectment petition, it was pleaded that the shop in question was required by the landlady for her own use and occupation and for the use and occupation of her family members. It was stated that husband of the landlady was carrying-on a business of tea-vendor on a bench in front of the shop. Furthermore, Gagandeep, son of the landlady, having passed 10+2 examination, could not pursue further studies and was to be settled by running a sweet shop (Halwai) in the demised premises. During course of arguments, Mr. P.S. Punia, Advocate appearing for the petitioner, has stated that in case sufficient time is granted to the petitioner to make an alternative arrangement, he will hand Civil Revision No.2120 of 2010 over actual physical peaceful vacant possession of the demised premises to the respondent-landlady. Counsel for the petitioner has prayed that two years time be granted to the petitioner to vacate the premises. Mr. S.K. Sandhir, Advocate appearing for the respondent- landlady, has stated that though he is agreeable that time ought to be granted to the petitioner-tenant, but in case two years time is granted, it will go against the interest of the landlady. Mr. Sandhir has further stated that husband of the landlady is present in Court. Earlier during the course of the day, counsel for the parties have sought deferment of the proceedings to arrive at a compromise. Having reverted back to this Court, they have stated that one year’s time may be granted to the petitioner-tenant to make alternative arrangement and clear the inventory, on the following conditions: (a) The present petition shall be dismissed as not pressed; (b) The entire arrears of rent shall be deposited in the Court of Rent Controller; (c) The rent of following months shall be paid in advance on or before the 7th day of each month. This Court is of the opinion that due sanctity ought to be granted to the compromise arrived at between the parties. Accordingly, present petition stands dismissed as not pressed. The petitioner-tenant is granted one year’s time to hand over the physical peaceful vacant possession of the premises to the respondent- landlady, subject to his filing an undertaking to this effect in the Court of Rent Controller. The undertaking shall further state that the petitioner shall pay the rent of following months on or before the 7th day of each month and that the entire arrears of rent shall be paid. The undertaking be filed on or before 1st September, 2010 and the possession be handed- 2 Civil Revision No.2120 of 2010 over on or before 1st September, 2011. In case the petitioner-tenant fails to adhere to the compromise noticed in the present petition, law shall take its own course. [KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA] JUDGE August 3, 2010 rps 3
