Pius C.Kuriakose, J.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      Under challenge in this revision petition under Section 20 of<\/p>\n
the Rent Control Act filed by the landlord is the judgment of the<\/p>\n
rent control appellate authority confirming the order passed by<\/p>\n
the rent control court under Section 11(2)(c) and vacating the<\/p>\n
eviction order passed by the rent control court under Section 11<\/p>\n
(2)(b) for the first time.\n<\/p>\n
      2. We have heard the submissions of Sri.B.Jayasankar,<\/p>\n
learned counsel for the revision petitioner and those of<\/p>\n
Sri.T.B.Thankappan, learned counsel for the respondent tenant.<\/p>\n
We were taken through the order of the rent control court as<\/p>\n
well as the judgment of the rent control appellate authority.<\/p>\n
Sri.Jayasankar would assail the order of the rent control court<\/p>\n
and the judgment of the rent control appellate authority very<\/p>\n
forcefully. Sri.Jayasankar submitted that deposit and application<\/p>\n
under Section 11(2) (c) has to be filed within a period of one<\/p>\n
CRP.No.1227\/2002                 2<\/span><\/p>\n
month from the date of the order of the rent control court unless<\/p>\n
specified otherwise in the order. Here it was filed more than two<\/p>\n
years thereafter. Explanation offered by the respondent tenant<\/p>\n
was that “due to certain unavoidable, inevitable and unforeseen<\/p>\n
circumstances” he could not contact his advocate.    Very serious<\/p>\n
objections were filed to the application and it was specifically<\/p>\n
contended that no sufficient reason is made out by the tenant for<\/p>\n
not moving the rent control court under Section 11(2)(c) within<\/p>\n
the statutory period of one month.      Sri.Jayasankar submitted<\/p>\n
that it is only after receiving notice of the execution petition,<\/p>\n
which itself was filed by the landlord about three years after the<\/p>\n
order of eviction was passed by the rent control appellate<\/p>\n
authority, that the respondent tenant thought in terms of making<\/p>\n
deposits and    filing application under Section 11(2)(c).     No<\/p>\n
evidence whatsoever was adduced by the respondent tenant for<\/p>\n
showing that he was prevented by sufficient reasons in moving<\/p>\n
the court on time.\n<\/p>\n
     3. Sri.T.B.Thankppan, learned counsel for the respondent<\/p>\n
would support the order of the rent control court        and the<\/p>\n
judgment of the rent control appellate authority. He reminded us<\/p>\n
CRP.No.1227\/2002                 3<\/span><\/p>\n
of the contours of our jurisdiction under Section 20 and<\/p>\n
submitted that there is no warrant at all for invoking the<\/p>\n
revisional jurisdiction.  Judicial discretion vested in the rent<\/p>\n
control court was rightly exercised by that court. The learned<\/p>\n
counsel submitted that it is trite that order of eviction under<\/p>\n
Section 11(2)(b) is a tentative eviction order which is liable to<\/p>\n
be vacated the moment the tenant deposits the arrears of rent<\/p>\n
and costs. Sri.Jayasankar also submitted that amount deposited<\/p>\n
was in fact far in excess of the total arrears of rent, interest and<\/p>\n
costs due as on the time of the deposit.\n<\/p>\n
      4. In reply Sri.Jayasankar would place strong reliance on<\/p>\n
the judgment       of this court in     Mohan v. Parameswaran<\/p>\n
Namboodiripad(1992 (1) KLJ 164).\n<\/p>\n
      5. We have      anxiously considered the rival submissions<\/p>\n
addressed at the Bar in the light of the judgment of this court in<\/p>\n
Mohan v.Parameswaran Namboodiripad(supra).               The ratio<\/p>\n
emerging from the judgment in the above case is that there is<\/p>\n
no legal right vested in a tenant to have the time for making<\/p>\n
deposit under Section 11(2)(c) extended beyond the statutory<\/p>\n
time of one month. The legal right if at all is confined to making<\/p>\n
CRP.No.1227\/2002                4<\/span><\/p>\n
an application to the court for exercising its discretion for<\/p>\n
allowing further time. The power is discretionary and hence the<\/p>\n
demands that the rent control court should adopt a principled<\/p>\n
approach in granting or refusing to grant further time.      The<\/p>\n
power to grant further time presupposes that the relief of<\/p>\n
extending time for making application under Section 11 (2)(c) is<\/p>\n
equitable and calls for balancing of equities between the parties.<\/p>\n
In the instant case the respondent tenant was expected to make<\/p>\n
the deposits and move the rent control court under Section 11<\/p>\n
(2) (c) within a period of one month of the judgment of the rent<\/p>\n
control appellate authority since that authority had not specified<\/p>\n
any particular time for making the deposits. The respondent did<\/p>\n
not move the rent control court within one month. In fact the<\/p>\n
respondent waited till he received notice of       the execution<\/p>\n
proceedings which was some three years after the rent control<\/p>\n
appellate authority had passed the order of eviction. Despite the<\/p>\n
inordinate delay, the respondent had not stated any specific<\/p>\n
reason for getting the time extended.      In stead, he had only<\/p>\n
stated that “due to unavoidable, inevitable      and  unforeseen<\/p>\n
circumstances” he could not contact his advocate and hence he<\/p>\n
CRP.No.1227\/2002                 5<\/span><\/p>\n
was not able to file application early. The counter affidavit filed<\/p>\n
by the revision petitioner landlord in fact highlights that the<\/p>\n
respondent tenant had not given any specific reason for the delay<\/p>\n
which had been caused in the mater. In the light of the above<\/p>\n
counter affidavit, it was obligatory on the part of the respondent<\/p>\n
tenant to have adduced evidence before the rent control court<\/p>\n
and satisfied that court that he had genuine reason for         not<\/p>\n
moving that court earlier within the statutory period of one<\/p>\n
month.\n<\/p>\n
     6.   On going through the proceedings paper of the rent<\/p>\n
control court and the order passed by that court, it appears to us<\/p>\n
that the approach of that court in deciding the application under<\/p>\n
Section 11(2)(c) filed by the respondent was a little       casual.<\/p>\n
That court, in our opinion, should have insisted          that the<\/p>\n
respondent adduces evidence.            The principle that power<\/p>\n
vested in the court is discretionary and that judicial discretion is<\/p>\n
to be exercised not in a casual manner,         unfortunately was<\/p>\n
missed by the appellate authority also.   We are of the view that<\/p>\n
the I.A.No.4161\/1996 has to be reconsidered by the rent control<\/p>\n
court in the light of this judgment and the principles of law laid<\/p>\n
CRP.No.1227\/2002                 6<\/span><\/p>\n
down by      this court in Mohan’s case (supra), which we are<\/p>\n
approving.\n<\/p>\n
      7. Result is that we set aside the order of the rent control<\/p>\n
court and the judgment of the appellate authority which are<\/p>\n
impugned     in     this  revision   petition  and   remand   I.A.<\/p>\n
No.4161\/1996 to the rent control court. That court is directed to<\/p>\n
take fresh decision in the I.A. after affording opportunity to the<\/p>\n
respondent to adduce evidence. Enquiry will be completed and<\/p>\n
revised order will be passed by the rent control court at the<\/p>\n
earliest and at any rate within four months of receiving a copy of<\/p>\n
this judgment.\n<\/p>\n
      Transmit the records forthwith to the rent control court.<\/p>\n
Parties will appear before the rent control court on 3\/8\/2009.<\/p>\n
