Respondents in this case filed a petition for eviction (R.C.P.No.55/2005). Writ petitioner filed objections denying the title of the respondents and also filed I.A.No.3559/2006 to stay the continuation of the proceedings under Section 10 of the Code of Civil Procedure contending that he has filed O.S.No.1/2005 claiming for declaration of title over the petition schedule building by adverse possession. He wanted to stay the proceedings till the disposal of the original suit. O.S. is disposed of finally dismissing all the contentions raised by the petitioner. It is true that petitioner has filed an appeal. In any event, it is settled law that Section 10 will not be applicable in Rent Control proceedings and W.P.(C).20217/2007 2 it is for the petitioner to contest the rent control petition on all grounds available to him. We see no ground to interfere in the writ petition and hence this writ petition is dismissed. J.B.KOSHY, JUDGE K.P.BALACHANDRAN, JUDGE prp
