BY GP SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/10/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).31217/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 28th day of October, 2008 JUDGMENT Premises belonging to the petitioner is outstanding on a lease with the Government. It seems that the request made by the petitioner on more than one occasion for enhancement of the rent is objected to by the Government. Petitioner seeks eviction of the premises. Ext.P8 request in this regard is pending before the first respondent. In my view, since the relationship with the Government is one of a lease, the remedy of the petitioner lies elsewhere. Without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to pursue Ext.P8, writ petition is closed. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
