IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH ****** CR No.2210 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision:30.03.2011 ****** Balwinder Singh . . .Petitioner Versus Colonel Rajinder Singh . . . Respondent ***** CORAM: HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN ***** Present: Mr. Naresh Kumar Manchanda, for the petitioner. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J (ORAL) This revision petition is directed against the order dated 01.03.2011 passed by the learned Rent Controller by which he has assessed the provisional rent @ Rs.3,500/- per month to be paid by the petitioner/tenant on 05.04.2011. The landlord filed the eviction petition, inter alia, on the ground of non-payment of rent which is claimed @ Rs.6050/- from October 2006 till date. The petitioner/tenant alleged that the rate of rent is Rs.1,000/- per month. Interestingly, neither the landlord has led any evidence so far with regard to the rate of rent nor the tenant could produce any prima facie evidence to support of his assertion. In view of above, at this stage the learned Court below had taken the rent to be Rs.3,500/- per month for the purpose of fixing it provisionally and has decided the application. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the amount of Rs.3,500/- is little on the higher side which may be reduced to Rs.2,500/- per month. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner but I am afraid that there is no material on record to disturb the order of the learned Rent Controller dated 01.03.2011. In view of above, the present revision petition is found to be without any merit and as such, the same is hereby dismissed in limine, however, without any order as to costs.
