It was stated<\/p>\n<p>therein that the petitioners-tenants were inducted as tenants by Chajju<\/p>\n<p>Ram, father of Sukhdev Parshad on 23.2.1988,        as the rate of rent<\/p>\n<p>settled at that time was Rs.500\/- per month. On the ground that the rent<\/p>\n<p>has not been paid from 1.4.1996, eviction petition had been filed.<\/p>\n<p>Petitioner Tilak Raj was ordered to be proceeded against ex parte on<\/p>\n<p>28.3.2000 , whereas Mangal Dass was proceeded against ex parte on<\/p>\n<p>5.4.2000. During pendency of proceedings, Sukhdev Parshad died,<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Revision No. 6214 of 2006                                        2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Usha Jindal and others were impleaded as legal representatives.<\/p>\n<p>            In the ex parte evidence, landlord had examined two<\/p>\n<p>witnesses and the eviction petition was allowed on 22.10.2002.<\/p>\n<p>Thereafter, an application was filed on 20.2.2001 for setting the ex parte<\/p>\n<p>eviction order. Landlord made a statement that he has no objection in<\/p>\n<p>case application for setting aside ex parte order is allowed. The Court<\/p>\n<p>allowed the application and ex parte order was set aside subject to<\/p>\n<p>payment of cost of Rs.300\/-. The cost was paid.\n<\/p>\n<p>            It is stated that rent was tendered. After setting aside of ex<\/p>\n<p>parte proceedings, a number of opportunities were availed by the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner for filing written statement. Thereafter, nobody appeared for<\/p>\n<p>him and he was again proceeded against ex parte on 19.1.2000.<\/p>\n<p>Learned Rent Controller proceeded with ex parte evidence. After<\/p>\n<p>recording the evidence, learned Rent Controller recorded a finding that<\/p>\n<p>even though the tender of rent was made by the petitioner-tenant on<\/p>\n<p>20.11.2001 and also paid the arrears of house tax         but no interest<\/p>\n<p>thereon has been paid. It was further noticed that learned counsel for<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner-landlord accepted the rent under protest.         Petitioner<\/p>\n<p>thereafter filed a Civil Revision No. 2146 of 2005 in this Court, which<\/p>\n<p>was disposed off on 26.7.2005. In the revision, it was noticed that two<\/p>\n<p>demand drafts amounting to Rs.37,120\/- and Rs.10,100\/- have been<\/p>\n<p>deposited      in the name of Usha Jindal, landlady. Learned Rent<\/p>\n<p>Controller was directed by this Court to decide the application for setting<\/p>\n<p>aside the ex parte ejectment order. In pursuance of order passed by<\/p>\n<p>this Court (Annexure P3), learned Rent Controller proceeded to decide<\/p>\n<p>the application and formulated the following issues:-<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Revision No. 6214 of 2006                                       3<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                   1.          Whether there are sufficient grounds for<\/p>\n<p>                               setting aside the ex parte judgment\/order<\/p>\n<p>                               dated 22.10.2002?

OPR<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>                   4.          Relief.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>          Petitioner appeared in the witness box and tendered into<\/p>\n<p>evidence his affidavit Ex.A1. Thereafter, his evidence was closed. On<\/p>\n<p>behalf of landlady, Kapil Jindal appeared as a witness and tendered his<\/p>\n<p>affidavit Ex.RW1\/A.\n<\/p>\n<p>          Learned Rent Controller after examining the evidence came to<\/p>\n<p>conclusion that Tilak Raj was not vigilant regarding litigation pending in<\/p>\n<p>the Court. It was further held that once the ex parte order was set aside,<\/p>\n<p>he stopped appearing in the Court. Therefore, on second time he was<\/p>\n<p>proceeded against ex parte and ejectment order was passed. No<\/p>\n<p>sufficient reason was found by learned Rent Controller to recall the<\/p>\n<p>order of ex parte ejectment order. Aggrieved against the same,<\/p>\n<p>Petitioners had filed an appeal. Learned Appellate Authority held as<\/p>\n<p>under:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                      &#8220;&#8230;The discussion clearly shows that applicant<\/p>\n<p>                      habitually absents from the Court. After he tendered<\/p>\n<p>                      the rent, ;he knew that a case is going on, but he<\/p>\n<p>                      absented and was proceeded against ex parte on<\/p>\n<p>                      19.1.2002. Thereafter, for about one year and eight<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Revision No. 6214 of 2006                                       4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                   months he remained silent and acted only when the<\/p>\n<p>                   Bailiff reached him. In cross-examination, the<\/p>\n<p>                   applicant has admitted that his counsel Sh. Inderjit<\/p>\n<p>                   Sharma is his friend and that clerk of Sh. Inderjit<\/p>\n<p>                   Singh is his real cousin. Therefore, it is not possible<\/p>\n<p>                   that applicant was not told about the proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>                   He intentionally absented from the proceedings not<\/p>\n<p>                   only once but twice. The earlier ex parte order was<\/p>\n<p>                   set aside and the applicant took the latitude to<\/p>\n<p>                   absent again. Now in order to defeat the execution<\/p>\n<p>                   of the decree, he has filed the present application<\/p>\n<p>                   much beyond the period of limitation. Hence, I do<\/p>\n<p>                   not find any ground to interfere in the findings<\/p>\n<p>                   recorded by the trial Court on issue No.1 and 2.<\/p>\n<p>                   Consequently, the appeal is found to be without any<\/p>\n<p>                   merits and is dismissed, with costs. Memo of costs<\/p>\n<p>                   be prepared and file be consigned to record room.<\/p>\n<p>                   Trial Court records be returned&#8221;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>         This Court had issued notice and a Co-ordinate Bench on<\/p>\n<p>2.9.2008 noticed that respondent-landlady had been served but had not<\/p>\n<p>appeared nor represented through counsel and the respondents were<\/p>\n<p>ordered to be proceeded against ex parte.\n<\/p>\n<p>         Two fold submissions have been made before me by Mr.<\/p>\n<p>S.K. Chopra, Advocate, appearing for the petitioner. He has stated that<\/p>\n<p>even he was proceeded against ex parte, as per <a href=\"\/doc\/868147\/\">Rakesh Wadhawan v.<\/p>\n<p>M\/s Jagdamba Industrial Corporation<\/a> 2002(1) Rent Control<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Revision No. 6214 of 2006                                         5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Reporter 514, any deficiency in the tender can be made good later<\/p>\n<p>Therefore on this ground, ejectment could not be ordered. He has<\/p>\n<p>further stated that once the petitioner filed a revision petition and he was<\/p>\n<p>allowed to hand over the drafts to Usha Jindal, respondent No.1, one of<\/p>\n<p>the legal representative of the landlord, entire amount had been paid<\/p>\n<p>and therefore, ex parte order could not be sustained. He has further<\/p>\n<p>stated that fair play demands that the matter should have been<\/p>\n<p>determined on merits.\n<\/p>\n<p>          Learned counsel has further relied upon Rafiq and Another<\/p>\n<p>v. Munshi Lal and Another AIR 1981 Supreme Court 1400 to say that<\/p>\n<p>once the counsel had been engaged by the petitioner and he would<\/p>\n<p>have posed confidence in him, learned Appellate Authority had<\/p>\n<p>committed a grave error to say that since the counsel was friend and<\/p>\n<p>Clerk of the counsel is a cousin of the petitioner, it was not possible that<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner was not told about the proceedings, therefore, heavy onus<\/p>\n<p>was cast upon the petitioner. He has further relied upon <a href=\"\/doc\/1619907\/\">Malkiat Singh<\/p>\n<p>v. Joginder Singh<\/a> 1998 AIR Supreme Court 258 and Rafiq&#8217;s case<\/p>\n<p>(supra). Relying upon these judgments, learned counsel has stated that<\/p>\n<p>though the petitioner was not negligent        as he had paid the entire<\/p>\n<p>amount of rent, therefore, it was incumbent upon learned trial Court to<\/p>\n<p>issue notice to the petitioner or to his counsel.<\/p>\n<p>          Even though I find merit in these arguments of learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel, but it can be safely inferred that the petitioner was not vigilant<\/p>\n<p>and had taken the pendency of proceedings in the Court in a casual<\/p>\n<p>manner. Therefore, he has caused much agony to the landlady.<\/p>\n<p>          Taking into consideration the need of fair play giving fair<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Revision No. 6214 of 2006                                       6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>opportunity and to balance the equities, it will be just in case the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner is burdened with heavy costs, and ex parte order is set aside.<\/p>\n<p>          Accordingly, impugned orders (Annexures P3 and P5) are set<\/p>\n<p>aside.
