Civil Revision No.1356 of 1990 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.1356 of 1990 (O&M) Date of decision: 24.02.2009 Parshotam Singh and another .............. Petitioner Vs. Raghubir Saran Sharma ............Respondent Present: None for the parties. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? -.- K.KANNAN, J.(ORAL) 1. At the time when the matter is called, there is no representation either for the petitioner or for the respondent. The case has already been on board for quite a number of days and when the matter is called for consideration, there is no justification for the absence of the parties. 2. I have gone through the records and I find that the eviction has been ordered by the Rent Controller and affirmed by the Appellate Authority on the ground that the tenant had ceased to occupy the premises without reasonable cause for over four months from 12.08.1986 to 12.02.1987. The Courts below have considered the fact that non-occupation was evident from the electricity bills marked as Ex.A2 to A-7, which showed that there was only a minimum consumption that had been recorded and even the electricity bills filed were not issued in the name of the tenant himself but in the name of one Tarlok Singh. Both the authorities below have also referred to the telephone bills and have noticed that there were no calls at all made Civil Revision No.1356 of 1990 (O&M) -2- during the relevant period when the property was alleged to have been closed and there was cessation of occupation. The dismissal made only on this ground accords with the evidence and the civil revision petition is dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE February 24, 2009 Pankaj*
