IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 518 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision: 13th July, 2010 Dr. Pal (Pal Singh) … Petitioner Versus Raj Kumar and others … Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. N.K. Malhotra, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Adarsh Jain, Advocate for the respondents. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) In the present revision petition, the petitioner has assailed the findings of both the Courts below, whereby his eviction was ordered on the ground of non-payment of rent and sub-letting. It is not disputed that the petitioner claims himself to be a tenant of the respondents. However, he has failed to prove any document, by which the rent was paid to the landlord. From the findings recorded by both the Courts below, an arrear of rent of Rs.1,88,000/- is due from the tenant-petitioner. Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that it is for the landlord-respondents to prove that they had not received any rent. On an observation made by this Court as to whether the petitioner-tenant is possessed of any receipt/document, from which it can be inferred that the rent was actually paid to the landlord-respondents, counsel for the petitioner has expressed his inability. Civil Revision No.518 of 2010 This Court is of the opinion that while exercising revisional jurisdiction, the concurrent findings recorded by both the Courts below cannot be set aside. I have perused the impugned judgments. They are based on proper appreciation of evidence. Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the landlord has taken a stand that the rent was to be paid by one Vijay Mangla, who had sub-let the property to the petitioner. Even if that is so, in view of the stand taken by the petitioner that he is a tenant of the respondents and has paid the rent to them, it is incumbent upon the petitioner to show some document, from which it can be inferred that the rent in actual was paid. Thus, there is no merit in the present revision petition and the same is hereby dismissed. [KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA] JUDGE July 13, 2010 rps 2
