1.        The Rent Controller dismissed an application for ejectment<\/p>\n
filed on the alleged grounds of subletting and cessation of the tenant<\/p>\n
to occupy the building. In appeal by the landlord, the decision of the<\/p>\n
Rent Controller as regards cessation to occupy the building was<\/p>\n
confirmed but ordered ejectment on the ground of subletting. The<\/p>\n
aggrieved tenant is the revision petitioner before this Court.<\/p>\n
2.        Before the Rent Controller, the tenant resisted the plea of<\/p>\n
the landlord that there had been a subletting by pointing out that the<\/p>\n
so-called sub-tenant was his own blood brother and he was jointly<\/p>\n
associated in the business of tenant. In proof of his contentions, the<\/p>\n
tenant had filed copies of returns submitted before the sales tax
\n Civil Revision No.2511 of 2001 (O&M)                         -2-<\/span><\/p>\n
authorities and account books where the second respondent had been<\/p>\n
shown as a partner with the first respondent. The Rent Controller<\/p>\n
accepted the documents as establishing the defence and also reasoned<\/p>\n
that the landlord had not even filed any purchase bills that should<\/p>\n
have been available if the second respondent had been carrying on the<\/p>\n
business independently.      The Appellate Authority reversed the<\/p>\n
decision, finding fault with the reliance on the documents of sales tax<\/p>\n
returns and account books and further found the evidence of the first<\/p>\n
respondent namely the tenant as most untrustworthy. The Appellate<\/p>\n
Authority also found that the second respondent had taken<\/p>\n
independent electricity service connection that proved his exclusive<\/p>\n
possession.   The case of subletting according to the Appellate<\/p>\n
Authority had been comprehensively proved.\n<\/p>\n
3.        Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the tenant<\/p>\n
vehemently argued that the Appellate Authority had committed an<\/p>\n
error by reversing the decision of the Rent Controller on flimsy<\/p>\n
grounds. To him, the fact that electricity connection had been taken<\/p>\n
only in the name of the second respondent could not prove sub-<\/p>\n
tenancy and the electricity connection itself could not have been<\/p>\n
obtained during the relevant time without the permission of the<\/p>\n
landlord. The returns before the sales tax returns had given the details<\/p>\n
of the business as being run in partnership and the account books,<\/p>\n
which were produced in Court, were for all the periods from 1981 to<\/p>\n
1990. The reliance on all the documents by the Rent Controller was<\/p>\n
appropriate and the reversal of the decision made by the Appellate<\/p>\n
Authority, according to the counsel for the revision petitioner did not
\n Civil Revision No.2511 of 2001 (O&M)                           -3-<\/span><\/p>\n
accord with evidence in law.\n<\/p>\n
4.        As pointed out by the learned Senior Counsel appearing on<\/p>\n
behalf of the respondent, the case relating to sub-tenancy has been<\/p>\n
decided on factual consideration of the following facts:-<\/p>\n
          (i)   It is not merely a case of close relationship between<\/p>\n
                parties amongst the respondents but a case where the<\/p>\n
                second respondent had been admitted to be in<\/p>\n
                possession of the shop but it was explained by the first<\/p>\n
                respondent that they were running a joint business.<\/p>\n
                This according to the counsel for the landlord placed a<\/p>\n
                heavy burden on the tenant to prove that there was no<\/p>\n
                sub-tenancy.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
          (ii) The tenant had admitted in his evidence that there was<\/p>\n
                a document of partnership between respondent No.1<\/p>\n
                and 2 and the failure to produce the document give<\/p>\n
                rise to an adverse inference against the plea of a joint<\/p>\n
                business between respondent No.1 and 2.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
          (iii) The sales tax return produced by the first respondent<\/p>\n
                was merely a photocopy containing signatures of<\/p>\n
                respondent No.1 and 2 and they were not duly<\/p>\n
                authenticated certified copies.     Objection had been<\/p>\n
                taken even at the time of trial for reception of the<\/p>\n
                document and there was no proof of loss of the<\/p>\n
                original or justification for its non-production.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
          (iv) Even a copy of the so-called certificate of registration<\/p>\n
                produced by the tenant and exhibited as RW5\/2 merely
\n Civil Revision No.2511 of 2001 (O&M)                          -4-<\/span><\/p>\n
               made reference to the name of the business concerned<\/p>\n
               as M\/s Savera Boot House and there had been no<\/p>\n
               reference to the partnership itself.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
          (v) The tenant was having a business in vending fruits in a<\/p>\n
               place 45 kms away from the petition mentioned<\/p>\n
               premises and he had ceased to occupy the petition<\/p>\n
               mentioned premises delivering the possession of the<\/p>\n
               property to the second respondent.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
          (vi) The so-called joint business as also false, as admitted<\/p>\n
               by RW-1 that there was no shoe business at the<\/p>\n
               property in respect of which the accounts and copies<\/p>\n
               of sales tax documents had been produced but the<\/p>\n
               second respondent was carrying on tea business for<\/p>\n
               two years before filing of the petition. It is nobody’s<\/p>\n
               case that it was joint business of the first respondent<\/p>\n
               with the second respondent in respect of the tea<\/p>\n
               business.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
          (vii) The   electricity      connection     had   been    taken<\/p>\n
               independently in the name of the 2nd respondent and<\/p>\n
               not either in the partnership’s name or in the name of<\/p>\n
               the first respondent.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
5.        The factual consideration of all the materials and the<\/p>\n
discussion rendered by the Appellate Authority are absolutely<\/p>\n
convincing and he has given adequate reasons for setting aside the<\/p>\n
order of the Rent Controller. The two grounds, on which the Rent<\/p>\n
Controller had found in favour of the first respondent that he had been
\n Civil Revision No.2511 of 2001 (O&M)                       -5-<\/span><\/p>\n
associated with the second respondent, were found to be wholly<\/p>\n
unjustified.     The purchase bills from the second respondent<\/p>\n
independently were irrelevant so long as it was admitted even by a<\/p>\n
witness of the respondents that the second respondent was carrying on<\/p>\n
tea business and not the shoe business. The electricity connection<\/p>\n
standing in the name of the second respondent was not properly<\/p>\n
appreciated. It was not merely one instance of the electricity service<\/p>\n
connection standing in his name to be rejected out of consideration<\/p>\n
but must be taken as one of the factors among other materials filed to<\/p>\n
establish that second respondent was carrying on an independent<\/p>\n
business.\n<\/p>\n
6.          The cases cited by counsel for both sides are brought out<\/p>\n
only for rendering a comprehensive judgment. The counsel for the<\/p>\n
revision petitioner refers to a decision in Vinod Kumar and others<\/p>\n
Vs. Sat Pal 2005 (1) PLR 492 to the effect that without proof of<\/p>\n
factual parting with possession to the sub tenant, the case of sub-<\/p>\n
tenancy itself could not be said to be established. The learned Senior<\/p>\n
Counsel for the respondent refers to a decision of this Court in<\/p>\n
Ashwani Kumar Prashar and another Vs. Anil Kapoor 2004 (2)<\/p>\n
RCR 174 that when a tenant transferred his own business to another<\/p>\n
town and handed over the possession of demised premises to his<\/p>\n
brother without permission of landlord, it could be presumed that<\/p>\n
possession had been transferred for some consideration.          Smt.<\/p>\n
Darshana Devi and another Vs. Des Raj Singh and another 1997<\/p>\n
HRR 363 was a decision that laid down that if evidence was not<\/p>\n
produced to show the contribution of partners, the so-called
\n Civil Revision No.2511 of 2001 (O&M)                       -6-<\/span><\/p>\n
partnership should be taken to be a make believe agreement.        In<\/p>\n
Kartar Singh Vs. Shri Vijay Kumar and Anr 1978 (1) RLR 603, it<\/p>\n
was found that contention of acquiescence by a landlord for receiving<\/p>\n
the rent from the sub tenant could take away the right of landlord to<\/p>\n
obtain eviction since the requirement in law was the consent in<\/p>\n
writing of the landlord for the said subletting and in the absence of<\/p>\n
such written consent, no conduct of the landlord in the event of<\/p>\n
receipt of rent will take away the right. The Hon’ble Supreme Court<\/p>\n
held in Bhairab Chandra Nandan Vs. Manadhir Chandra Dutt 1988<\/p>\n
HRR 199 that a tenant’s brother’s exclusive possession of the shop<\/p>\n
during the business was sufficient proof of sub-tenancy. In Ram<\/p>\n
Avtar Vs. Sushma Kumari and another 2007(2) RCR 342 this Court<\/p>\n
held in cases where the tenant and the alleged sub-tenant happened to<\/p>\n
be close relatives or brothers inter se, it would be difficult for the<\/p>\n
landlord to prove the secret arrangement and if the possession of<\/p>\n
person other than the tenant was established, the case of sub-tenancy<\/p>\n
must be taken as proved.\n<\/p>\n
7.       All these decisions pointed out to the most decisive issue<\/p>\n
that the nearness of relationship between the parties by themselves<\/p>\n
will not give rise to a presumption that such relationship could not<\/p>\n
establish sub-tenancy. The exclusive possession of a person other<\/p>\n
than the tenant must be adequately established by such person, who is<\/p>\n
not a tenant and there will be a presumption drawn in favour of the<\/p>\n
landlord and transaction is only sub-tenancy. The fact that the tenant<\/p>\n
had removed himself from the village to yet another business would<\/p>\n
be a factor to prove that the tenant had foresaken his possession to
\n Civil Revision No.2511 of 2001 (O&M)                      -7-<\/span><\/p>\n
another person who would be regarded as sub-tenant.<\/p>\n
8.       All the relevant points have been considered by the<\/p>\n
Appellate Authority and the order of ejectment passed fully accords<\/p>\n
with evidence and law.     The civil revision petition is, therefore,<\/p>\n
dismissed, but in the circumstances, there shall be no orders as to<\/p>\n
costs. Time for eviction is two months.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                                                (K. KANNAN)
