Present: Mr. Harpal Singh Sirohi, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Rajesh Sood, Advocate for the respondent. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) The petitioner/landlord is aggrieved against the impugned order dated 16.10.2009 whereby the Rent Controller, Chandigarh, had assessed the provisional rent at Rs.80/- per month. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that mutually, it was agreed between the parties that the rent would be Rs.800/- per month. The impugned order is interim in nature. After the parties adduce their evidence, the Rent Controller shall determine the quantum of rent. Therefore, at this stage, the impugned order whereby the provisional rent is assessed, cannot be varied. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that since the tenant is continuing in the demised premises at the meager rent of Civil Revision No. 7679 of 2009 2 Rs.80/- per month, a direction be issued to the Rent Controller to conclude the proceedings, originating from the eviction petition, at the earliest. Learned counsel for the petitioner has further submitted that in case three effective opportunities are granted to both the sides, the case can mature for earlier disposal. Learned counsel for the respondent has no objection thereto. Accordingly, the impugned order dated 16.10.2009 is upheld, subject to final determination of the rent by the Rent Controller, Chandigarh, on the basis of the evidence to be adduced by the parties. The Rent Controller shall grant three effective opportunities to both the parties and shall decide the eviction petition within a period of nine months. With the observations made above, the present revision petition is disposed of. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge September 17, 2010 “DK”
