Civil Revision No. 6872 of 2010 1 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, at Chandigarh. Civil Revision No. 6872 of 2010 Date of Decision: 25.10.2010 Nadeem Ahmed Javed …Petitioner Versus Suresh Kumar and Another …Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. Present: Mr. Ram Bilas Gupta, Advocate for the petitioner. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) The landlord pleaded the ground of personal necessity and averred as under:- “...(iv) That the petitioner require the said shop for his personal use and occupation...”. Statutory requirement that the landlord has neither vacated the shop nor possessed the same was not pleaded in the eviction petition. Therefore, by amendment, the following line was sought to be introduced:- “...The petitioner has not vacated the shop neither possessed in the Urban Area of Faridabad nor have any other shop...” This being formal in nature, the Rent Controller, Faridabad, has rightly allowed the amendment. However, grievance of the petitioner Civil Revision No. 6872 of 2010 2 is that this has been done after a delay of about two and a half years. The delay will not bar the respondent/landlord to cure the defect which was a mere lapse due to inadvertence. The Rent Controller has also awarded the cost in favour of the petitioner. Hence, no interference is warranted in the present revision petition and the same is hereby dismissed, in limine. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge October 25, 2010 “DK”
