THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V.RAMANA CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.5709 of 2009 ORDER: Petitioner is a tenant of the suit schedule premises, which is owned by the respondent. On the ground that the petitioner failed to pay the rent from January, 2003 in respect of the suit schedule premises, the respondent filed O.S.No.550 of 2006 in the Court of V Additional Senior Civil Judge (Fast Track Court), Ranga Reddy District, seeking recovery of arrears of rent amounting to Rs.1,08,900/-. During pendency of the said suit, the respondent filed I.A.No.295 of 2009 seeking a direction to the petitioner to pay arrears of rent due from May, 2006 to February, 2009 amounting to Rs.1,12,200/- together with interest. The Court below having observed that no prejudice would be caused to the petitioner if he is directed to deposit the rents in the Court, allowed the said I.A. directing the petitioner to deposit the arrears of rent amounting to Rs.1,12,200/- for the period from May, 2006 to February, 2009 on or before 30.11.2009 and continue to deposit the rent @ Rs.3,300/- per month from March, 2009 till disposal of the suit. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed the present Civil Revision Petition. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the Court below erred in allowing I.A.No.295 of 2009 in O.S.No.550 of 2009 as the arrears of rent has already been claimed by the respondent in I.A.No.803 of 2007 in O.S.No.638 of 2007, filed for eviction, which was transferred and renumbered as O.S.No.572 of 2009 and therefore, he prays to dismiss the I.A. by allowing the present revision. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent sought to sustain the impugned order. It is not in dispute that the petitioner is the tenant of the suit schedule premises and the respondent is the owner of it. The quantum of rent payable is also not in dispute. The respondent filed O.S.No.550 of 2009 for recovery of arrears of rent amounting to Rs.1,08,900/- for the period from February, 2003 to October, 2005. He also filed O.S.No.572 of 2009 for eviction of the petitioner from the suit schedule premises and recovery of possession and also for arrears of rent. Since the main dispute is yet to be adjudicated on merits, the Court below through the impugned order, which is interlocutory in nature, directed the petitioner to deposit the arrears of rent and continue to deposit the rent @ Rs.3,300/- per month from March, 2009 till disposal of the suit. The same being an equitable order needs no interference by this Court. Nevertheless, learned counsel for the petitioner sought time to deposit the amount as directed by the Court below in the order impugned. In view of the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner/defendant is directed to deposit the amount as directed by the Court below within six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, the Civil Revision Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ N.V.RAMANA, J 4th DECEMBER, 2009. kvni
