Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. Present: Mr. Vinod S. Bhardwaj, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Dinesh Gupta, Advocate for the respondents. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) On 27.11.2007, a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court passed the following order:- “Present: Mr. V.S.Bhardwaj, Advocate This is a petition against order dated 4.10.2007 passed by Rent Controller, Bathinda whereby monthly rent at the rate of Rs.1400/- had been assessed and the tenant, now petitioner had been directed to pay rent at this rate from 1.7.2002 with costs and interest. On behalf of the petitioner, it is contended the rate of rent was Rs.250/- per month. Petition was Civil Revision No. 6100 of 2007 2 filed in February 2007 and that the receipt shown on behalf of the landlady had been all forged and the rent was never Rs.1400/- per month and it was, in fact, Rs.250/- per month and that the petitioner- tenant had been sending the same by money orders etc. at that rate. Notice of motion be issued to the respondents for 24.1.2008. Meanwhile, petitioner shall be liable to pay 50% of the rent, so assessed subject to adjustments, if any, in future. Sd/- (M.M.AAGGARWAL) JUDGE November 27, 2007” This Court normally does not interfere in the matters where provisional rent is assessed. This Court is of the view that assessing the provisional rent is an order of interim nature and the parties get fair opportunity to adduce evidence for determinatin of the rent. Any deficiency in the rent paid can be made good later and any excess rent paid can be adjusted. But since, a Co-ordinate Bench had ordered that the petitioner is liable to pay 50% of the provisional rent assessed by learned Rent Controller till the conclusion of the eviction petition, petitioner may continue to pay 50% of the rent assessed. Learned counsel for the respondents states that the petitioner be asked to deposit the entire arrears. In case the entire arrears of rent Civil Revision No. 6100 of 2007 3 are not deposited on or before 7.12.2008, learned Rent Controller shall proceed in the matter, in accordance with law. In view of the above, the present revision petition is disposed off. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge November 4, 2008 “DK”
