According to the landlord the petition schedule<\/p>\n<p>building, which forms part of a row of shops, is situated on<\/p>\n<p>the southern side of a property having 70 cents in extent<\/p>\n<p>which contains his residential building. Since there is no<\/p>\n<p>motorable access to the said property and to the residential<\/p>\n<p>building, the landlord wanted to demolish the petition<\/p>\n<p>schedule shop room and also another shop room situated on<\/p>\n<p>its western side to create vehicular pathway to the property<\/p>\n<p>and to the residential building situated on its back. Hence<\/p>\n<p>eviction was sought for under S.11(3).\n<\/p>\n<p>     2.    Evidence before the Rent Control Court consisted<\/p>\n<p>of oral testimony of landlord examined as PW1 and Ext.A1 to<\/p>\n<p>A3 documents marked on his behalf.                    The revision<\/p>\n<p>RCR.42\/2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>petitioner\/tenant was examined as DW1.            DW2 is the<\/p>\n<p>accommodation controller examined as a witness on his<\/p>\n<p>behalf. Ext.C1 commission report and C2 mahazar was also<\/p>\n<p>marked in evidence. The Rent Control Court after elaborate<\/p>\n<p>consideration of the evidence on record found that the<\/p>\n<p>landlord was not successful in proving that the need projected<\/p>\n<p>is genuine and bonafide.          Therefore the petition was<\/p>\n<p>dismissed.   In   appeal before the Appellate Authority (the<\/p>\n<p>District Court, Kollam) the evidence was totally re-appraised.<\/p>\n<p>The Appellate Authority found that the need put forth by the<\/p>\n<p>landlord to have a spacious opening to the property and to the<\/p>\n<p>residential building for access of vehicles, is genuine and<\/p>\n<p>bonafide. In reversal of findings of the Rent Control Court, the<\/p>\n<p>Appellate Authority found that the tenant is liable to be<\/p>\n<p>evicted for the need projected by the landlord.<\/p>\n<p>      3.   In this revision petition the tenant contended that,<\/p>\n<p>the Rent Control Court having found the need as not bonafide<\/p>\n<p>has not adverted to the aspects of protection provided under<\/p>\n<p>the second proviso to S.11(3).       Sri. H. Ramanan, learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel for the revision petitioner, argued before us that there<\/p>\n<p>was specific contention raised by the tenant before the Rent<\/p>\n<p>Control Court that the business conducted in the petition<\/p>\n<p>RCR.42\/2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>schedule room is the main source of livelihood of the tenant<\/p>\n<p>and his family and that there are no other suitable buildings<\/p>\n<p>available in the locality for shifting of the business. But the<\/p>\n<p>Rent Control Court having found that the need projected is not<\/p>\n<p>genuine and bonafide has not considered the point as to<\/p>\n<p>whether the tenant is eligible for protection under the second<\/p>\n<p>proviso. But the Appellate Authority with due advertence to<\/p>\n<p>the evidence adduced on this aspect, had arrived at a<\/p>\n<p>conclusion that the tenant was not successful in proving both<\/p>\n<p>limbs under the second proviso to S.11(3). It is observed that<\/p>\n<p>not even a scrap of paper was produced to prove the income<\/p>\n<p>actually earned by the tenant from the business carried on in<\/p>\n<p>the premises. Inspite of the fact there is evidence to the effect<\/p>\n<p>that the business was having Sales Tax Registration, the<\/p>\n<p>tenant had failed to produce any Books of Accounts to show<\/p>\n<p>that the income derived from the business is the main source<\/p>\n<p>of his livelihood. Coming to the second limb of the second<\/p>\n<p>proviso, the Appellate Authority found that DW2, the<\/p>\n<p>Accommodation Controller when cross-examined has admitted<\/p>\n<p>that vacancies are only rarely reported to that authority.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore the Appellate Authority found that the tenant was<\/p>\n<p>not at all successful in proving both the limbs of the second<\/p>\n<p>RCR.42\/2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>proviso.\n<\/p>\n<p>      4.   Sri. H. Ramanan, learned counsel for the petitioner,<\/p>\n<p>contended that since the Rent Control Court has not<\/p>\n<p>considered the aspect of second proviso the tenant was<\/p>\n<p>prevented from adducing proper evidence on that particular<\/p>\n<p>aspect. We notice that, it was the burden of the tenant to<\/p>\n<p>adduce evidence in proving claim seeking protection under the<\/p>\n<p>second proviso to S.11(3), as held by this court in a Full Bench<\/p>\n<p>decision reported in <a href=\"\/doc\/418143\/\">Francis v. Sreedevi Varassiar<\/a> (2003<\/p>\n<p>(2) KLT 230 (F.B). Eventhough the Rent Control Court has<\/p>\n<p>not considered the evidence adduced on the aspect of the<\/p>\n<p>second proviso, we are not persuaded to accept that the non<\/p>\n<p>consideration had in any manner caused prejudice to the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner.  In the matter of adducing evidence on the aspect<\/p>\n<p>of the second proviso, it could not be contended that there was<\/p>\n<p>any denial of opportunity. The Appellate Authority, being the<\/p>\n<p>final fact finding authority, had elaborately considered the<\/p>\n<p>evidence on this aspect and found that the tenant is not<\/p>\n<p>entitled for protection provided under the second proviso to<\/p>\n<p>Section 11(3).\n<\/p>\n<p>      5.   Sri.H. Ramanan raised further contention before us<\/p>\n<p>that, the Rent Control Petition filed by the landlord against the<\/p>\n<p>RCR.42\/2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>neighbouring tenant was also dismissed and that the matter is<\/p>\n<p>now pending in appeal. Contention is that unless the landlord<\/p>\n<p>get eviction of the building belonging to that tenant, the need<\/p>\n<p>projected could not be accomplished.       But we are of the<\/p>\n<p>opinion that merit of this Rent Control Petition filed against<\/p>\n<p>the tenant has to be decided on the basis of evidence adduced<\/p>\n<p>in this case. The other Rent Control Petition was not jointly<\/p>\n<p>tried or disposed of by any common judgment. Therefore we<\/p>\n<p>are not persuaded to accept the contention that outcome of<\/p>\n<p>that Rent Control Petition filed against the neighbouring<\/p>\n<p>tenant, should have a bearing in the decision of this case. On<\/p>\n<p>the other hand, Sri.Raja Vijayaraghavan, learned counsel for<\/p>\n<p>the respondent submitted that the Rent Control Appeal filed<\/p>\n<p>with respect to the other tenant is pending disposal before the<\/p>\n<p>District Court, Kollam. We notice that if the need urged for<\/p>\n<p>evicting the tenant under Section 11(3) could not be<\/p>\n<p>accomplished within the stipulated time, the tenant is at<\/p>\n<p>liberty to invoke remedy available under Section 11(12).<\/p>\n<p>Therefore the contention in this regard is not a ground to<\/p>\n<p>interfere with the findings arrived by the Appellate Authority.<\/p>\n<p>     6.    Under the above mentioned circumstances we find<\/p>\n<p>no infirmity, illegality, irregularity or impropriety with the<\/p>\n<p>RCR.42\/2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>findings rendered by the Appellate Authority which is the final<\/p>\n<p>fact finding authority. In the attenuated revisional jurisdiction<\/p>\n<p>under Section 20 of the Act, we do not find any merit which<\/p>\n<p>warrants interference for reversal of the impugned findings.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly the revision petition is liable to be dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>      7.   However, Sri.H. Ramanan, learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>revision petitioner, sought indulgence of this court in granting<\/p>\n<p>one year period for surrendering vacant possession of the<\/p>\n<p>tenanted premises, on the ground that the tenant has to find<\/p>\n<p>out alternate accommodation for shifting the business<\/p>\n<p>conducted in the schedule premises. Sri. Raja Vijayaraghavan,<\/p>\n<p>learned     counsel     appearing      on     behalf    of   the<\/p>\n<p>respondent\/landlord strongly opposes such plea.           Having<\/p>\n<p>considered facts and circumstances of the case we are of the<\/p>\n<p>opinion that the tenant can be permitted to grant time for a<\/p>\n<p>period of one year to vacate the schedule premises, subject to<\/p>\n<p>certain conditions.\n<\/p>\n<p>      8.   In the result the Rent Control Petition is disposed of<\/p>\n<p>with the following directions:\n<\/p>\n<p>      (i). While dismissing the Rent Control Revision we grant<\/p>\n<p>time for the revision petitioner\/tenant to hand over vacant<\/p>\n<p>possession     of    the     scheduled      building    to   the<\/p>\n<p>RCR.42\/2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>respondent\/landlord, till 28.2.2011, subject to the condition<\/p>\n<p>that the revision petitioner shall file an affidavit before the<\/p>\n<p>execution court or the Rent Control Court, as the case may be,<\/p>\n<p>within a period of three weeks from today, undertaking that he<\/p>\n<p>will hand over vacant possession of the schedule premises to<\/p>\n<p>the landlord on or before 28.2.2011 and also undertaking that<\/p>\n<p>arrears of rent if any due will be paid within a period of one<\/p>\n<p>month from today.      In the affidavit the tenant will also<\/p>\n<p>undertake to pay occupational charges at the prevailing rate of<\/p>\n<p>monthly rent periodically, till surrender of possession of the<\/p>\n<p>scheduled building.\n<\/p>\n<p>     (ii). The execution court is directed to adjourn delivery<\/p>\n<p>of the scheduled building till 1.3.2011, once filing of the<\/p>\n<p>affidavit and payment of arrears of rent and occupational<\/p>\n<p>charges as directed above is noticed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                         PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n<p>                          C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n<p>okb<\/p>\n<p>RCR.42\/2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">               8<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court M.M.Salim vs Pradeep Naik on 23 February, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM RCRev..No. 42 of 2009() 1.
