IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.1841 of 2008 (O&M) Date of decision: 6th August, 2010 Sanjay Chauhan … Petitioner Versus Gur Parshad … Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. Vishal Garg , Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. P.K. Kukreja, Advocate for the respondent. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) Ex-parte eviction order was passed against the petitioner- tenant on 2nd May, 2007. The warrants of possession were issued on 4th August, 2007. On that day, an application was filed by the petitioner- tenant for stay of the warrants of possession, however, no application for recalling of ex-parte order of eviction was filed. The application to stay the warrants of possession was drafted on 4th August, 2007 itself but was filed in the Court on 3rd October, 2007. Even the application for condonation of delay was filed on 29th October, 2007. For this lapse and the conduct, which was not natural, an explanation was coined that the petitioner-tenant had to leave Chandigarh for his native place in Himachal Pradesh. On an observation made that the explanation furnished is not probable, counsel for the petitioner states that he is conscious about the inherent weakness of the case but would pray to this Court that the petitioner-tenant, being a very Civil Revision No.1841 of 2008 poor person, be granted sufficient time to vacate the premises. Counsel for the respondent-landlord states that he is always eager that the tenant should hand-over possession of the premises in question in a graceful manner and that he is ready to extend an olive branch. During the course of arguments, counsel for the parties have formulated a broad consensus that in case nine months’ time is granted to the petitioner-tenant to hand over the peaceful vacant possession, it will be in the interest of all. This Court is of the opinion that due sanctity ought to be granted to the broad consensus arrived at between the parties. Accordingly, the petitioner-tenant is granted nine months’ time to hand over the actual physical peaceful vacant possession of the premises to the respondent-landlord, subject to his filing an undertaking to this effect in the Court of Rent Controller, Chandigarh. The undertaking shall further state that the petitioner shall pay the rent of following months in advance on or before the 7th day of each month and that the entire arrears of rent shall be paid. The undertaking be filed on or before 1st of September, 2010. With the observations made above, present revision petition is disposed of. [KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA] JUDGE August 6, 2010 rps 2
