Sham Sunder Chauhan vs Satyapal on 27 November, 2008<\/div>\n
Civil Revision No. 469 of 2007                                          1\n\n\n\n\n      In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, at Chandigarh.\n\n\n                     Civil Revision No. 469 of 2007\n\n                     Date of Decision: 27.11.2008\n\n\nSham Sunder Chauhan\n                                                               ...Petitioner\n                                  Versus\nSatyapal\n                                                            ...

(Oral)\n<\/pre>\n
           A controversy in the present petition revolves around rent note<\/p>\n
Ex.PA. Admittedly, rent note Ex.PA was executed for a period of three<\/p>\n
years and is a registered document. As per the rent note tenancy was<\/p>\n
created at the rate of Rs.1,200\/- per month. Rent note contained a<\/p>\n
condition that after expiry of three years if no fresh rent note is executed<\/p>\n
the rent between the parties shall stand determined as Rs.2,400\/- per<\/p>\n
month. Learned Rent Controller, Hisar, on a petition filed by landlord<\/p>\n
Satyapal against the petitioner-tenant Sham Sunder Chaudhary,<\/p>\n
determined the rent to be Rs.2,400\/- per month. For arriving at this, after<\/p>\n
the conclusion of the pleadings, following issues were formulated:-
\n Civil Revision No. 469 of 2007                                      2<\/span><\/p>\n
                   1.        What is the rate of rent of the demised<\/p>\n
                             premises? OPP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
                   2.        Whether the rent tender by respondent on<\/p>\n
                             31.3.99 is short invalid, if so its effect?<\/p>\n
                             OPP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
                   3.        Whether the petitioner has not come to the<\/p>\n
                             Court with clean hands, if so to what<\/p>\n
                             effect? OPR<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
                   4.        Whether the petitioner has not produced<\/p>\n
                             any site plan of the property in question?<\/p>\n
                             OPR<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
                   5.        Whether the petition is bad for non joinder<\/p>\n
                             of necessary parties? OPR<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
                   6.        Relief.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         Learned Rent Controller along with the pleadings considered<\/p>\n
the evidence of Satyapal, landlord, who appeared as PW.2 along with<\/p>\n
testimony of Radhey Sham, Deed Writer, PW.2, who proved rent note<\/p>\n
Ex.PA.\n<\/p>\n
         Tenant himself appeared as RW.4 and examined Bhagwan<\/p>\n
Dass, Deed Writer, as RW.1, Ramesh Kumar as RW.2 and Ishwar<\/p>\n
Singh as RW.3.\n<\/p>\n
         The case of the tenant was that subsequent to the earlier rent<\/p>\n
note, a rent note was executed on 6.1.1998 Mark ‘A’. Learned Rent<\/p>\n
Controller held that the tenant has failed to prove subsequent rent note<\/p>\n
dated 6.1.1998, therefore, it came to conclusion that as agreed between<\/p>\n
the parties, rent of the property will be Rs.2,400\/- per month w.e.f.
\n Civil Revision No. 469 of 2007                                         3<\/span><\/p>\n
21.7.1996. Therefore, it was assessed that from 21.7.1995 to 21.7.1996,<\/p>\n
rent would be Rs. 1,200\/- and thereafter, Rs.2,400\/- per month. After<\/p>\n
assessment and calculation of the rent, learned Rent Controller afforded<\/p>\n
two months time to the tenant to deposit the rent calculated by learned<\/p>\n
Rent Controller. Admittedly, in pursuance of the order passed by learned<\/p>\n
Rent Controller on 25.11.2005, no rent was paid.\n<\/p>\n
          At this stage, Mr. C.B.Goel, Advocate, appearing for the<\/p>\n
respondent, has stated that when the matter was pending before<\/p>\n
learned Appellate Authority then after the dismissal of the appeal, an<\/p>\n
application was filed for seeking extension of time for deposit of rent<\/p>\n
and that application was also dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
          Mr. Arun Jain, Senior Advocate, with able assistance of Mr.<\/p>\n
Amit Jain, Advocate, appearing on behalf of the petitioner, has raised<\/p>\n
three submissions before me. It has been stated that since in the rent<\/p>\n
note at the time of inception of tenancy rent was Rs.1,200\/- by invoking<\/p>\n
the condition that after expiry of three years if a fresh rent note is not<\/p>\n
executed rent will be Rs.2,400\/- per month, same is a penal clause and<\/p>\n
the same is not permissible under       law and that part of findings of<\/p>\n
learned Rent Controller ought to be set aside. Second submission made<\/p>\n
is that after expiry of rent note, petitioner became a statutory tenant and<\/p>\n
is covered by the provisions of the Act and thereafter, he cannot be held<\/p>\n
liable to pay Rs.2,400\/- as rent. Thirdly, it has been submitted       that<\/p>\n
during the pendency of the present petition, landlord had filed another<\/p>\n
petition for eviction of the tenant and the same was decided vide<\/p>\n
Ex.RW5\/2. The copy of the order has been also attached with the<\/p>\n
petition as Ex.P1. It has been stated that when the rent was paid and
\n Civil Revision No. 469 of 2007                                         4<\/span><\/p>\n
issues were framed, the landlord despite effective opportunities given<\/p>\n
had not examined any witness, therefore, vide Ex.RW5\/2 rent<\/p>\n
conclusively stand determined by the Court as Rs.1,200\/-.<\/p>\n
          Mr. C.B.Goel, Advocate, appearing for the respondent, to<\/p>\n
controvert this submission, has stated that rent note is to be considered<\/p>\n
in its spirit and tenor. It was agreed between the parties that in case no<\/p>\n
fresh rent note is executed then the tenant shall be paying rent at the<\/p>\n
rate of Rs.2,400\/- per month. Therefore, it is stated that it was agreed<\/p>\n
between the parties that rent will be Rs.2,400\/- per month. Mr. Goel has<\/p>\n
stated that since rent note contains specific terms & conditions, parties<\/p>\n
are bound by the same and, therefore, rightly learned Rent Controller<\/p>\n
has found the rent to be Rs.2,400\/-. He has further stated that conduct<\/p>\n
of the tenant in not paying the rent despite various opportunities given<\/p>\n
by the Courts is sufficient to infer that the tenant continues to enjoy the<\/p>\n
fruits of the property without paying the rent. It has been further stated<\/p>\n
that no reliance can be placed upon Ex.RW5\/2 because the petition was<\/p>\n
not contested on merits as no evidence was led by the parties and,<\/p>\n
therefore, there was no adjudication on merits regarding the rate of rent.<\/p>\n
It was further stated that Ex.RW5\/2 will not operate as res judicata as<\/p>\n
the petition was filed during the pendency of present petition where the<\/p>\n
parties had started leading the evidence.\n<\/p>\n
          At this stage, parties are in agreement that six months time<\/p>\n
can be granted to the tenant to vacate the premises. Mr. Goel states<\/p>\n
that since his intention is to have possession of the premises from<\/p>\n
tenant, who is not paying the rent since 1996 and has used the property<\/p>\n
for more than 12 years, he will have no objection in case six months
\n Civil Revision No. 469 of 2007                                           5<\/span><\/p>\n
time is granted so that peaceful possession of the property is restored to<\/p>\n
the landlord. He has stated that for this purpose tenant be bound down<\/p>\n
to furnish an undertaking before learned Rent Controller that he shall<\/p>\n
hand over the peaceful vacant possession to the landlord\/respondent. It<\/p>\n
has been further stated by Mr. Goel that in case tenant undertakes that<\/p>\n
peaceful possession will be handed over on or before 31.5.2009, he will<\/p>\n
waive off the entire arrears of rent.\n<\/p>\n
          Ordered accordingly.\n<\/p>\n
          In case undertaking is not filed on or before 31.12.2008, then<\/p>\n
the landlord will be well within his rights to proceed in accordance with<\/p>\n
law to execute the mandate of the orders of two Courts below. Needless<\/p>\n
to say, then, the landlord shall be entitled to recover the arrears of rent.<\/p>\n
