In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh. CR No.1746 of 2011 (O&M) Decided on 27.4.2011. Sanjeev Kumar -- Petitioner vs. M/s Calibre Holding & Investments Pvt.Ltd. --Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr.H.K.Aurora, Advocate,for the petitioner Mr.R.S.Ahluwalia,Advocate,for the respondent Rakesh Kumar Jain, J, (Oral) This revision petition is directed against the order dated 16.12.2010 by which the Court had passed the order of striking of the defence of the petitioner/tenant on the ground that he has not filed the reply. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner had filed an application on 17.9.2010 by which he had prayed for a direction to the landlord to place on record the original documents relied upon by him and supply the copies of the same to him alongwith the copy of the petition for the purpose of preparing the reply. In the said application, the landlord had taken time to file reply which was not filed by him despite two opportunities and ultimately on 16.12.2010, the impugned order was passed. CR No.1746 of 2011 (O&M) -2- Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the learned Rent Controller has passed the impugned order without applying his mind and even without referring to the previous zimni orders available on record. Learned counsel for the respondent submits that if this Court is inclined to set aside the impugned order, then a direction may be given to the Rent Controller to decide the eviction petition in a time bound manner. I have heard both the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record from which I have found that there is total non- application of mind on the part of the Rent Controller while passing the impugned order. From the zimni orders, I have found that reply was to be filed by the landlord and not by the tenant/petitioner on account of which defence of the petitioner/tenant was struck off. In view of the above, the impugned order is set aside. Insofar as the request of learned counsel for the respondent/landlord for making the eviction petition time bound is concerned, the same is hereby declined. 27.4.2011 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) RR Judge
