In all the petitions, the petitioner has prayed for issuance of directions to the Rent Controller, Ludhiana to decide application filed under Section 13-B of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949 (for short ‘the Act’) in which eviction has been sought on the ground of bona fide requirement, in a time bound period as the petitions are being unnecessarily delayed at the behest of the respondents/tenants, who are moving one application after the other despite the fact the they have already filed application for leave to defend, which is yet to be decided. Notice of motion was issued pursuant to which Mr.Rahul Rampal, Advocate has put in appearance on behalf of the respondent in all the four revision petitions. It is a common case of the parties that respondents have filed various applications before the Rent Controller, Ludhiana including the application for leave to defend, which are now listed on 8.2.2011 for consideration. Learned counsel for the respondent has brought to the notice of this Court order dated 24.01.2011 passed by Rent Controller, Ludhiana, which reads as under: “Present: Sh. A.C. Gupta counsel for the petitioner. Sh. B.K. Rampal counsel for the respondent. Reply to the application for dismissal of petition filed by the petitioner. Now case is adjourned to 8.2.2011 for consideration on all the application. It will be last opportunity for arguments on these application. No further opportunity will be given. Since, the Rent Controller has already fixed 8.2.2011 for consideration on all the applications, which of course includes application for leave to defend and has also observed that it would be the last opportunity for CR No.254 of 2011 - 3 - CR No.253 of 2011 CR No.255 of 2011 CR No.256 of 2011 arguments and no further opportunity shall be given, therefore, all the aforesaid revision petitions have become infructuous. Both the parties are ad idem that they would argue all the applications, which are pending in other connected cases mentioned hereinabove. A photocopy of this order be placed on the files of other connected cases. (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) FEBRUARY 03, 2011 JUDGE Vivek
