IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R. No. 8055 of 2010. [O&M] Date of Decision: 10th December, 2010. Gurcharan Singh Batra Petitioner through Ms. Gaganpreet Kaur, Advocate Versus Ganga Ram Respondent. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? SURYA KANT, J. [ORAL] The petitioner who is a landlord of an Industrial Shed No. 95, Industrial Area, Phase II, Chandigarh and is stated to be 80 years old, has filed an eviction petition against the tenant. In this petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, he seeks a direction for expeditious disposal of the eviction petition keeping in view his age and status as a senior citizen. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and keeping in view the plea taken by the petitioner that he is 80 years old, however, without drawing any inference that the delay, if any, caused in disposal of eviction petition is attributable to the respondent – tenant, rather the correct fact being the over-burdened dockets of the court concerned, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this petition with a direction to the Rent Controller, Chandigarh to expedite the disposal of the eviction petition filed by the petitioner after granting reasonable opportunities to both the parties to lead their respective evidence, preferably within a period of one year. Disposed of. Dasti. December 10, 2010. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
