Gurnam Singh vs Vijay Kumar on 11 November, 2008<\/div>\n
           IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA\n                         AT CHANDIGARH\n\n\n                       Civil Revision No.1763 of 2008\n                     Date of decision: 11th November, 2008\n\nGurnam Singh\n\n                                                                 ... Petitioner\n\n                                    Versus\n\nVijay Kumar\n                                                              ... Respondent\n\n\nCORAM:         HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA\n\nPresent:       Mr. J.S. Verka, Advocate for the petitioner.\n               Mr. Sukhbir Singh, Advocate for the respondent.\n\n\nKANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J.\n<\/pre>\n
               Gurnam Singh petitioner has filed the present revision petition<\/p>\n
with a prayer that impugned order dated 05.02.2008 passed by the Rent<\/p>\n
Controller, Baba Bakala, Amritsar, whereby the application to amend the<\/p>\n
ejectment application has been refused, be set aside and amendment as<\/p>\n
prayed for be allowed.\n<\/p>\n
               Gurnam Singh petitioner-landlord instituted an application for<\/p>\n
ejectment of tenant under Section 13-A of the Rent Restriction Act (III),<\/p>\n
1949 (hereinafter referred to as, ‘the Act’). The demised premises was a<\/p>\n
shop. The shop was let out by Piara Singh, father of the petitioner. After the<\/p>\n
death of Piara Singh, tenant has been paying the rent to the petitioner.<\/p>\n
Therefore, petitioner had stepped into the shoes of his father, Piara Singh,<\/p>\n
as landlord.\n<\/p>\n
               Petitioner retired as Chief Engineer, Public Health from the<\/p>\n
State of Punjab on 31st March, 2004. Application seeking ejectment of the<\/p>\n
tenant was filed on the ground that premises are required for the bonafide<\/p>\n
personal use and occupation, for establishing hospital and laboratory for
\n Civil Revision No.1763 of 2008                                            2<\/span><\/p>\n
his unemployed son Dr.Amrinderpal Singh, who after having passed his<\/p>\n
M.B.B.S. degree, has further obtained a diploma in Radio Diagnostics.<\/p>\n
             Admittedly, the ejectment application was filed under Section<\/p>\n
13-A of the Act and Section 13-A is not applicable to commercial buildings.<\/p>\n
Therefore, another application was filed seeking amendment in the petition,<\/p>\n
with a prayer that petition be tried under Section 13 of the Act instead of<\/p>\n
Section 13-A of the Act. It was stated in the application that since an<\/p>\n
objection has been raised by the tenant that Section 13-A of the Act is not<\/p>\n
applicable to the commercial buildings and the petition is not legally<\/p>\n
maintainable, therefore, to overcome this objection, amendment has been<\/p>\n
sought. It was further prayed that the hypertechnicalities should not stand<\/p>\n
in the way and law of amendment being very liberal with an object to avoid<\/p>\n
multiplicity of proceedings, in order to reduce litigation, prayer of<\/p>\n
amendment be granted.\n<\/p>\n
             A perusal of the impugned order shows that reply to the<\/p>\n
application for amendment was filed by the tenant before the Rent<\/p>\n
Controller, in which preliminary objection regarding maintainability,<\/p>\n
estoppel, resjudicata were raised. It was stated therein that an objection<\/p>\n
was raised in the written statement that ejectment application under<\/p>\n
Section 13-A of the Act is not maintainable, as Section 13-A is not attracted<\/p>\n
in case of commercial property. It was stated that landlord remained silent<\/p>\n
for more than two years and when case has reached at the final stage, an<\/p>\n
application has been filed.\n<\/p>\n
             The Rent Controller declined the application for amendment<\/p>\n
and vide impugned order held that Gurnam Singh landlord had filed the<\/p>\n
application under Section 13-A of the Act from the demised premises,<\/p>\n
which is a shop and application was filed by the respondent-tenant seeking<\/p>\n
permission to contest the petition. While allowing the application to contest,
\n Civil Revision No.1763 of 2008                                             3<\/span><\/p>\n
it was observed by the Rent Controller that specified landlord is entitled to<\/p>\n
the possession of residential or scheduled building for his own occupation.<\/p>\n
             Counsel for the respondent has stated that since evidence of<\/p>\n
the parties has been concluded, by allowing the amendment, it will amount<\/p>\n
to de-novo trial. It has been further urged that in the present case, trial has<\/p>\n
commenced.\n<\/p>\n
             A perusal of the impugned order further reveals that during<\/p>\n
course of arguments, petitioner-landlord has placed reliance upon “Rulia<\/p>\n
Ram Sharma v. Amar Pal Singh Bhalla and others<\/a>“, 1991 (1) Rent<\/p>\n
Control Reporter 280.\n<\/p>\n
             The Rent Controller distinguished the judgment of Rulia Ram<\/p>\n
(supra) on the ground that as in the case of Rulia Ram, he was not held to<\/p>\n
be specified landlord as he had retired from service when he was not<\/p>\n
owner of the demised premises.\n<\/p>\n
             Counsel appearing for the respondent has laid much<\/p>\n
emphasis on the fact that in 2002, order 6 rule 17 of the Code of Civil<\/p>\n
Procedure has been amended and a proviso has been added that no<\/p>\n
application for amendment shall be allowed after the trial has commenced,<\/p>\n
unless court comes to the conclusion that inspite of due diligence the party<\/p>\n
could not have raised the matter before the commencement of the trial.<\/p>\n
             There is no doubt in the contention made by the counsel for<\/p>\n
the respondent. But it has been held in various judgments that technical<\/p>\n
rules of procedure of Civil Procedure Code are not applicable to<\/p>\n
proceedings under the Rent Act and Rent Controller can device his own<\/p>\n
procedure for the just adjudication of the case. It has been further held that<\/p>\n
in rent proceedings, Rent Controller, to find out the truth, can device<\/p>\n
appropriate procedure. Rent Controller cannot be held bound by the<\/p>\n
provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure. Therefore, provisions of Code of<\/p>\n
Civil Procedure would not apply ipso-facto on the Rent Controller.
\n Civil Revision No.1763 of 2008                                               4<\/span><\/p>\n
Reference can be made to Brij Lal v. Yash Pal, 1985(1) RCR (Rent) 551;<\/p>\n
Lal Chand and others v. Kishan Murari Goel and others<\/a>, 1995(1) RCR<\/p>\n
274 and Harcharan Singh v. Ashok Kumar, 2003(1) RCR (Rent) 696. It is<\/p>\n
now well settled that Rent Controller is not a Court. He is an officer persona<\/p>\n
designata, specially authorized to adjudicate upon disputes relating to<\/p>\n
urban property concerning ejectment and determination of fair rent of urban<\/p>\n
properties. Reference can be made to Inderjit Pal v. Shankar, 1985(1)<\/p>\n
Rent Control Reporter 508. Therefore, the Court of Controller is not, for all<\/p>\n
practicable purposes, a Court, nor the Code of Civil Procedure in entirety<\/p>\n
applies with all vigour and strength.\n<\/p>\n
             It was held in “Pirgonda Hongonda Patil v. Kalgonda<\/p>\n
Shidgonda Patil<\/a>“, AIR 1957 SUPREME COURT 363, as under:<\/p>\n
             “All amendments ought to be allowed which satisfy the
\n      two Conditions (a) of not working injustice to the other side,
\n      and (b) of being necessary for the purpose of determining the
\n      real questions in controversy between the parties …but I
\n      refrain from citing further authorities, as, in my opinion, they all
\n      lay down precisely the same doctrine. That doctrine, as I
\n      understand it, is that amendment should be refused only
\n      where the other party cannot be placed in the same position
\n      as if the pleading had been originally correct, but the
\n      amendment would cause him an injury which could not be
\n      compensated in costs. It is merely a particular case of this
\n      general rule that where a plaintiff seeks to amend by setting
\n      up a fresh claim in respect of a cause of action which since
\n      the institution of the suit had become barred by limitation, the
\n      amendment must be refused; to allow it would be to cause the
\n      defendant an injury which could not be compensated in costs
\n      by depriving him of a good defence to the claim. The ultimate
\n      test therefore still remains the same: can the amendment be
\n      allowed without injustice to the other side, or can it not?”<\/p>\n
             In “Croper v. Smith”, 1884 (29) Ch D 700, it was stated by<\/p>\n
Bowen, L.J. as under:\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
 Civil Revision No.1763 of 2008                                                   5<\/span><\/p>\n
                “I think it is a well-established principle that the object of
\n      courts is to decide the rights of the parties and not to punish
\n      them for mistakes they make in the conduct of their cases by
\n      deciding otherwise than in accordance with their rights …. I
\n      know of no kind of error or mistake which if not fraudulent or
\n      intended to overreach, the Court ought not to correct, if it can
\n      be done without injustice to the other party. Courts do not exist
\n      of the sake of discipline, but for the sake of deciding matters in
\n      controversy, and I do not regard such amendment as a matter
\n      of favour or grace … It seems to me that as soon as it appears
\n      that the way in which a party has framed his case will not lead
\n      to a decision of the real matter in controversy; it is as much a
\n      matter of right on his part to have it corrected, if it can be done
\n      without injustice as anything else in the case is a matter of
\n      right.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
                Guided by these parameters, the prayer of the petitioner to<\/p>\n
amend the petition can be allowed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                The courts have further held that there is one panacea, which<\/p>\n
heals every sour in litigation and that is cost. Admittedly, in the present<\/p>\n
case, there was a mistake and error on the part of the landlord. For<\/p>\n
correction of this mistake, landlord can be burdened with the cost. Since<\/p>\n
from the very beginning, it has been the case of the landlord that the shop<\/p>\n
in question is required for personal necessity to settle his son, for<\/p>\n
establishing his hospital and laboratory and he has led evidence on this<\/p>\n
score, no prejudice therefore, will be caused to the tenant.<\/p>\n
                Accordingly, the present revision petition is accepted,<\/p>\n
impugned order is set aside and application filed by the landlord for the<\/p>\n
amendment is allowed. He is permitted to amend the petition and amended<\/p>\n
petition (Annexure P-3) is allowed to be taken on record. However, since<\/p>\n
due to the mistake and error on the part of the landlord, tenants have<\/p>\n
suffered, to balance the equities, a cost of Rs.10,000\/- is awarded in favour<\/p>\n
of the tenant. On deposit of the cost, the same shall be disbursed to the
\n Civil Revision No.1763 of 2008                                         6<\/span><\/p>\n
tenant. Tenant will have adequate opportunity to file reply to the amended<\/p>\n
petition and to lead evidence in support of the pleadings made in the<\/p>\n
written statement to be filed to the amended petition.<\/p>\n
             Accordingly, the present revision petition is allowed in above<\/p>\n
terms.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
