Civil Revision No. 5687 of 2008 -1- *** IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 5687 of 2008 Date of decision : 8.1.2010 Miss Bimla and others .....Petitioners Versus Guru Nanak Dev University and another ...Respondents **** CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Mr. Kanwaljit Singh, Senior Advocate with Mr. K.S.Mangat, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. Amrit Pal, Advocate for the respondents S. D. ANAND, J. Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents- University (respondents no.1 and 2) undertaken that respondents shall vacate the premises under reference within one year from today. He further makes it clear that he does not offer any resistance to this petition on merits thereof. The undertaking is accepted by the learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioenrs. It would be appropriate to notice here that the learned Rent Controller upheld the applicability of provisions of Section 13-B of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949 to the petitioners but declined ejectment of the respondents on a finding that the petitioners herein had not been able to prove their bonafide requirement of the premises for their own use and occupation. What further weighed with the learned Trial Judge, in the context, was that grant of an ejectment order “will certainly disturb the studies of the students”. It further observed that “the balance is tilted towards the students and ultimately the respondents” in view of the Civil Revision No. 5687 of 2008 -2- *** comparative hardship. It is apparent therefrom that hardship to be caused to the students community weighed with the learned Trial Judge in recording the finding against the petitioners. However, in view of the undertaking made by the learned counsel for the respondents, (under instructions of the latter), the petition shall stand allowed. The respondents shall, as undertaken by the learned Counsel, vacate the premises under reference within one year from today. January 8, 2010 (S. D.
