IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R. No. 5335 of 2008. [O&M] Date of Decision: 31st August, 2009. Gurdev Singh Petitioner through Mr. Vijay Lath, Advocate Versus Krishan Kumar & Ors. Respondents through Mr. R.M.Gupta, Advocate. 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) This Revision Petition is directed against the order dated 24.7.2008 passed by the Rent Controller, Rup Nagar dismissing an application moved by the petitioner for appointment of a Local Commissioner, as well as to permit him to lead additional evidence. Notice of motion was issued and in response thereto, learned counsel for the parties have been heard. It goes without saying that no revision petition is maintainable against the impugned order to the extent of declining appointment of the Local Commissioner. The petitioner's grievance against non-appointment of the Local Commissioner, therefore, can not be entertained. As regards the second relief, namely, additional evidence, it appears that a part of the demised premises has fallen down and a report dated 5.9.2007 to that effect was submitted by a Building Expert. No serious prejudice is likely to be caused to the respondent – tenant if the petitioner is permitted to examine that Building Expert or if his report dated 5.9.2007 is brought on record as that may assist the Rent Controller to decide Issue No. 3 effectively and arrive at a just conclusion. The respondent – tenant can also lead evidence in rebuttal in support of his plea that the roof of the shop has been damaged by the landlord and has not fallen down in the natural course of wear and tear. For the reasons aforementioned, the revision petition is allowed in part and the impugned order is modified to the extent that the petitioner shall be permitted to examine the Building Expert and prove his report at his own responsibility. The Rent Controller shall issue Dasti process to summon the said Building Expert. The respondent – tenant shall also be entitled to rebut the said evidence and/or support his plea. Dasti. August 31, 2009. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
