RSA No. 3297 of 2007 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH -.- RSA No. 3297 of 2007 Date of decision: 06.02.2008 Food Corporation of India and others ...Appellants Versus M/s Darshan Singh and Co-owners, Gurdaspur & others ...Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mrs. Justice Nirmal Yadav -.- Present : Mr. K K Gupta, Advocate for the Appellants -.- Nirmal Yadav, J. (Oral) This is defendants' regular second appeal against the judgments and decrees passed by both the Courts below, vide which the plaintiff's suit for recovery of Rs.41,370/-, along with interest, has been decreed. Learned counsel for the appellants/defendants contended that both the Courts below have not given the findings on all the issues. After going through the judgments and decrees of both the Courts below, I am of the view that only one argument was raised by the counsel before both the Courts below that the lease agreement was not a registered document, therefore, it was not admissible in evidence. Except this, no other issue was raised and, therefore, the appellants/defendants cannot be allowed to raise any other issue, at this stage. Moreover, it is apparent from the facts on record that open plinth area was hired on rent for a period of one year i.e. w.e.f. 01.05.1996 to April, 1997. As per the RSA No. 3297 of 2007 2 plaintiffs, the rent for a period of the three months i.e. February, 1997 to April, 1997 has not been paid. Since the plinth area was hired for one year, the respondents/plaintiffs are entitled to receive the rent for the aforesaid three months. Learned counsel for the appellants has not been able to show that there was any condition in the lease agreement that the lease can be revoked three months prior to the period for which the plinth area had been hired. In view of the above discussion, I do not find any illegality or irregularity in the findings returned by both the Courts below, which may give rise to any substantial question of law, for consideration in the instant appeal. Consequently, the present appeal is dismissed. (Nirmal Yadav) Judge February 06, 2008 mohan
