This revision petition is directed by the tenant against the order dated 17.1.2009, passed by the Rent Controller, Amritsar, whereby the provisional rent was assessed and the tenant-petitioner was directed to tender the arrears of rent @ Rs.500/- per month for a period of 166 months. According to the tenant-petitioner, the rate of rent is Rs.250/- per month. When this matter was come up for preliminary hearing, the following order was passed by this Court on 6.2.2009: “Interim stay is granted on the condition that the petitioner shall deposit before the Rent Controller 50% of the amount determined by him on or before 31.3.2009 and shall continue to deposit @ Rs.500/- per month till the disposal of this application for stay. If there is any default on his part, interim stay, which is granted, shall stand vacated.” Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the order dated 6.2.2009 has been complied with and the 50% of the arrears @ Rs.500/- per C.R. No.697 of 2009 2 month has been deposited. He further states that the tenant has unfortunately expired immediate thereafter, and his legal representatives are now paying the future rent @ Rs.500/- per month. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, the interim arrangement made by this Court vide order dated 6.2.2009 is made absolute, however, subject to final outcome of the eviction petition. It is directed that the petitioner shall continue to pay rent @ Rs.500/- per month by 10th of every calendar month and in default of payment of rent, the petitioner shall be liable to pay 50% of the arrears also. However, in case the petitioner-tenant's plea on the rate of rent @ Rs.250/- per month is accepted, in that event, no prejudice shall be caused to him and the excess amount paid, shall be adjusted against the future rent or refunded. The revision petition stands disposed of. 04-08-2009 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
