Krishan Lal vs Nirmal Kumar on 2 December, 2008<\/div>\n
Civil Revision No. 4136 of 2007                                        1\n\n\n\n\n      In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, at Chandigarh.\n\n\n                   Civil Revision No. 4136 of 2007\n\n                      Date of Decision: 2.12.2008\n\n\nKrishan Lal\n                                                              ...Petitioner\n                                 Versus\nNirmal Kumar\n                                                           ...

(Oral)\n<\/pre>\n
          Krishan Lal, tenant, preferred a petition under Section 9 of the<\/p>\n
Haryana Urban (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1973 (hereinafter<\/p>\n
referred to as “the Act”), in which he prayed that he is tenant in the<\/p>\n
building owned by Nirmal Kumar. Details and description of the building<\/p>\n
were given in the head note of the petition. It was stated therein that the<\/p>\n
premises have been taken on rent at a monthly rent of Rs.155\/- along<\/p>\n
with taxes. It was stated in the application that the house lack civic<\/p>\n
amenities and public hygiene, therefore, a flush with water facility be<\/p>\n
provided as petitioner was having open latrine on the roof which is not<\/p>\n
cleaned daily. It was further stated therein that potable water is not<\/p>\n
available and the drinking water is to be brought from outside. It was
\n Civil Revision No. 4136 of 2007                                           2<\/span><\/p>\n
further stated that on the eastern side of the house in question, a<\/p>\n
sewerage line and water pipe has already been laid and all the nearby<\/p>\n
houses are having facilities.       Registered notice was issued to the<\/p>\n
landlord calling upon him to provide the above said amenities. When<\/p>\n
the landlord had not responded then the petition was filed in the Court<\/p>\n
seeking the above said relief.\n<\/p>\n
          Landlord appeared. He filed reply and took a preliminary<\/p>\n
objection that the application is not maintainable. However, relationship<\/p>\n
of landlord and tenant was admitted. It was stated that house in question<\/p>\n
was an old construction and the same was required to be re-built and no<\/p>\n
facility as stated by the tenant have been provided by the Municipal<\/p>\n
Corporation and the house was required by him for the use and<\/p>\n
occupation of his brother.\n<\/p>\n
          Learned Rent Controller had framed the following issues:-<\/p>\n
                    1.           Whether the petitioner is entitled to the<\/p>\n
                                 facilities as claimed by him? OPP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
                    2.           Whether the petitioner has no locus standi<\/p>\n
                                 to file the present petition? OPR<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
                    3.           Whether the petition of the petitioner is not<\/p>\n
                                 maintainable in the present form? OPR<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
                    4.           Relief.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
          Tenant had examined PW.2 Amir Chand Taneja who proved<\/p>\n
site plan Ex.P1 to show that the sewerage and water pipe line are<\/p>\n
passing in the street in front of the house in question. He further stated<\/p>\n
that these amenities have not been provided in the demised premises.<\/p>\n
          Landlord himself appeared as RW.1. He stated that when the
\n Civil Revision No. 4136 of 2007                                           3<\/span><\/p>\n
tenancy was created, these facilities were not available in the locality<\/p>\n
and now the petitioner has no right to claim the same and the<\/p>\n
construction of the house is very old and the same requires<\/p>\n
reconstruction.\n<\/p>\n
         Learned Rent Controller believed the evidence led by the<\/p>\n
tenant that there is open latrine on the roof and the amenities have<\/p>\n
reached near the house in question. Learned Rent Controller further<\/p>\n
held that sewerage and tap water facilities are essential amenities which<\/p>\n
are required by every person. Therefore, tenant is entitled to the same<\/p>\n
at the expenses to be incurred by him for providing such amenities and<\/p>\n
such expenses incurred by the tenant would be deducted from the rent<\/p>\n
payable by him to the respondent. In the relief clause, the following<\/p>\n
conclusion was drawn by learned Rent Controller:-<\/p>\n
                   “14.       In view of my findings given herein above<\/p>\n
                   on issue No.1 since the respondent has already<\/p>\n
                   refused to provide the sewerage and tap water<\/p>\n
                   facilities to the petitioner, the petitioner is entitled to<\/p>\n
                   have the said amenities in the demised premises at<\/p>\n
                   the expenses to be incurred by him for providing<\/p>\n
                   amenities and the expenses incurred by him would<\/p>\n
                   be deducted from the rent payable by him to the<\/p>\n
                   respondent. Soon after the amenities have been<\/p>\n
                   provided the petitioner shall immediately send the<\/p>\n
                   details of the expenses incurred by him to the<\/p>\n
                   respondent\/landlord,     so    that   said   amount        is<\/p>\n
                   deducted from rent as per Section 9 of Haryana
\n Civil Revision No. 4136 of 2007                                       4<\/span><\/p>\n
                    Urban Control of Ren and Eviction Act. Present<\/p>\n
                    petition is allowed accordingly. Memo of costs be<\/p>\n
                    prepared and file be consigned to the record room<\/p>\n
                    after due compliance”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
          Aggrieved against the same, landlord filed an appeal. Learned<\/p>\n
Appellate Authority held that the tenant appearing as PW.1 has not<\/p>\n
specified as to when he occupied the premises. It took into<\/p>\n
consideration a reference in the cross-examination that the tenant<\/p>\n
started residing in the premises about 25 years ago and at that time<\/p>\n
also water and sewerage lines were existing in the locality. Taking this<\/p>\n
fact into consideration, learned Appellate Court held that since at the<\/p>\n
time of inception of tenancy, these amenities were available, and were<\/p>\n
not provided now the tenant is precluded from the prayer that such<\/p>\n
amenities ought to be provided. Learned Appellate Authority also relied<\/p>\n
upon the cross-examination of PW.2 Amir Chand Taneja to hold that if<\/p>\n
on the ground floor latrine is to be constructed then Chabutra and<\/p>\n
enclosure is to be demolished as there is no place for construction of<\/p>\n
latrine on the ground floor and also main hole of the sewerage line is<\/p>\n
about 25′ to 30′ away from the house in question. It also took into<\/p>\n
consideration that tenant has not obtained any estimate of expenses<\/p>\n
likely to be incurred on the construction of latrine. It also took into<\/p>\n
consideration that the rent is only Rs.155\/- per month and if the order of<\/p>\n
learned Rent Controller is upheld then for times to come, landlord will<\/p>\n
be deprived of the rent.\n<\/p>\n
          To controvert this part of the findings of learned Appellate<\/p>\n
Court, Mr. Mani Ram Verma, Advocate, appearing for the petitioner,
\n Civil Revision No. 4136 of 2007                                         5<\/span><\/p>\n
states that he is ready to incur all expenses without any reimbursement<\/p>\n
from the landlord.\n<\/p>\n
          At this stage, Mr. A.K.Goel, Advocate, appearing for the<\/p>\n
landlord has made three fold submissions. He has stated that the<\/p>\n
building is very old and it has become unfit for human habitation.<\/p>\n
Secondly, it has been submitted that the premises are required for<\/p>\n
personal use and occupation. It has been submitted that tenant wanted<\/p>\n
to construct latrine on the ground floor and if same is permitted, it will<\/p>\n
change the character of the building.\n<\/p>\n
          Repelling these arguments, Mr. Verma, in his all eloquence,<\/p>\n
has submitted that on ground of personal necessity and building being<\/p>\n
unfit for human habitation, eviction petition has been earlier filed by the<\/p>\n
landlord and the landlord lost in that litigation    before learned Rent<\/p>\n
Controller and Appellate Authority. He further submits that now again<\/p>\n
the landlord has filed another petition for eviction on the ground          of<\/p>\n
personal necessity and for enhancement of rent. Mr. Verma has further<\/p>\n
stated that since the sewerage pipe is to be taken on first floor and in<\/p>\n
the modern time, sufficient technology is available he will make the<\/p>\n
bathroom on first floor and take sewerage line there, where there is a<\/p>\n
provision of latrine.\n<\/p>\n
          In view of the submissions made by Mr. Verma that he will<\/p>\n
incur the entire expenses at his own and will construct the latrine at first<\/p>\n
floor, there is nothing that learned counsel for the landlord could say<\/p>\n
contrary to dislodge the submissions made by Mr. Verma. Landlord will<\/p>\n
be within his rights to pursue his remedy to seek eviction of tenant on<\/p>\n
the ground of personal necessity or enhancement of rent for which he

has already initiated the proceedings. Section 9 of the Act reads as<\/p>\n
under:-\n<\/p>\n
                  “9.       Landlord to provide certain amenities –<\/p>\n
                  (1)       If the amenities of electricity, sewerage or<\/p>\n
                  tap water supply have been made available in any<\/p>\n
                  locality by the State Government or a local authority,<\/p>\n
                  the tenant of the building or rented land of such<\/p>\n
                  locality shall be entitled to the enjoyment thereof<\/p>\n
                  subject to the provisions hereinafter contained.<\/p>\n
                  (2)       If the landlord at the written request of the<\/p>\n
                  tenant fails to agree in writing to provide all or any of<\/p>\n
                  the amenities within a period of thirty days or fails to<\/p>\n
                  provide the same within a period of ninety days of<\/p>\n
                  such request, the tenant may apply to the Controller<\/p>\n
                  for that purpose. The Controller may, on such<\/p>\n
                  application by the tenant and after such enquiry as<\/p>\n
                  he may deem fit, permit the tenant to have such<\/p>\n
                  amenity at the cost of the landlord on such<\/p>\n
                  conditions as he may deem proper. The tenant shall<\/p>\n
                  be entitled to deduct the expenses incurred by him<\/p>\n
                  in providing the amenity from the rent payable to the<\/p>\n
                  landlord till the full amount is realized.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
                            Provided that the rate of deduction of such<\/p>\n
                  expenses shall not exceed fifty per centum of the<\/p>\n
                  amount of rent.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                            Provided further that the Controller may

                  reject the application if he is satisfied that such an<\/p>\n
                  order will cause undue hardship to the landlord,<\/p>\n
                  keeping in view his source of income, or       would<\/p>\n
                  involve expenditure incommensurate with the benefit<\/p>\n
                  sought to be achieved.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                  (3)       The Controller may fix the extent and<\/p>\n
                  specifications of the amenity as far as possible<\/p>\n
                  keeping in view the circumstances of the case and<\/p>\n
                  also the estimated cost thereof.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                  (4)       After the amenity has been provided, the<\/p>\n
                  tenant shall immediately thereafter send the details<\/p>\n
                  of the expenses incurred by him to the landlord.<\/p>\n
                  (5)       In case of dispute as regards the quantum<\/p>\n
                  of the amount spent for providing the amenity, the<\/p>\n
                  same shall be decided by the Controller after<\/p>\n
                  enquiry on an application made to him.<\/p>\n
                  (6)       The landlord shall be entitled to enhance<\/p>\n
                  the rent of the building or the rented land to the<\/p>\n
                  extent of eight per centum per annum of the amount<\/p>\n
                  spent for providing such amenity from the date the<\/p>\n
                  amenity is provided.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                            Provided that where the tenant has initially<\/p>\n
                  incurred the expenses for providing such amenity,<\/p>\n
                  the enhancement of rent shall not be allowed till the<\/p>\n
                  amount spent by the tenant has been realized”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         The request made by the tenant is in consonance with the
\n Civil Revision No. 4136 of 2007                                        8<\/span><\/p>\n
object of Section 9 for which the same was enacted. In the modern<\/p>\n
times, civic amenities and public hygiene cannot be denied to the tenant<\/p>\n
on the ground that he must yield to pressure and vacate the premises.<\/p>\n
Potable water is essential for day-to-day living so is the      sewerage.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the findings of learned Rent Controller are justified and are in<\/p>\n
consonance with the modern days’ needs. Therefore, the findings of<\/p>\n
learned Rent Controller are upheld. The judgment of learned Appellate<\/p>\n
Authority is set aside. Taking into consideration submissions and prayer<\/p>\n
made by Mr. Verma, counsel for tenant as noticed above, the judgment<\/p>\n
of learned Rent Controller is modified to the extent that the sewerage<\/p>\n
pipe shall be taken to the first floor where there is provision for the<\/p>\n
latrine and all expenses incurred by the tenant for laying the water pipe<\/p>\n
and sewerage pipe shall be borne by tenant himself and will not be<\/p>\n
reimbursed by the landlord.\n<\/p>\n
          With these observations, the present revision petition is<\/p>\n
disposed off.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
