IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.5059 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision:25.03.2011. Dr. Kanwar Bhan Bhatia ...Petitioner Versus Kesar Dev and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. Surinder Gandhi, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J. (ORAL) This revision petition is directed against order dated 03.08.2010 passed by the learned Rent Controller, Loharu by which provisional rent has been assessed without even calling for the reply of the tenant. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the eviction petition was filed on 22.07.2010 in which notice was issued for 03.08.2010 and on that date counsel for the petitioner had appeared and filed his Power of Attorney. On the same day, without calling for the reply of the petitioner/tenant, the provisional rent was assessed. The only objection raised in the present revision petition is that the version of the petitioner has not come on the record before the learned Rent Controller before the assessment of provisional rent. The argument raised by learned counsel for the petitioner is perfectly in order and hence, the present revision petition is allowed and the impugned order is hereby set aside. The matter is remanded back to the learned Rent Controller to decide the question of assessment of provisional rent after allowing the petitioner/tenant an opportunity of filing reply. The entire exercise shall be done within 3 months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. March 25, 2011 (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) vinod* JUDGE
