No.48 of 2010\n   ------------------------------------------------\n    Dated this the 17th day of February, 2010\n\n                      ORDER\n<\/pre>\n
Pius C. Kuriakose, J<\/p>\n
     The tenant is in revision. He challenges the<\/p>\n
order of eviction passed against him by the Rent<\/p>\n
Control Appellate Authority on the grounds of<\/p>\n
arrears of rent under section 11(2)(b); on the<\/p>\n
ground that the tenant has other buildings<\/p>\n
reasonably sufficient for the tenant’s requirement<\/p>\n
under    section     11(4)(iii);    and     additional<\/p>\n
accommodation under section 11(8). The Rent<\/p>\n
Control   Petition    was     instituted     by    the<\/p>\n
respondent\/landlord invoking the grounds under<\/p>\n
section 11(2)(b), 11(4)(ii) and 11(4)(iii) and 11<\/p>\n
R. C. R. No.48 of 2010        -2-<\/span><\/p>\n
      (8). The Rent Control Court after taking evidence<\/p>\n
      would allow the RCP only on the ground of arrears<\/p>\n
      of rent and the ground under section 11(4)(iii).<\/p>\n
      The landlord did not prefer any appeal against the<\/p>\n
      order of the Rent Control Court disallowing<\/p>\n
      eviction on the grounds under section 11(4)(ii)<\/p>\n
      and 11(8). The tenant preferred appeal and the<\/p>\n
      impugned judgment has been passed by the<\/p>\n
      Appellate Authority in that appeal. The learned<\/p>\n
      Appellate Authority noticed that the landlord had<\/p>\n
      not preferred any appeal or any memorandum of<\/p>\n
      cross objections challenging the decision of the<\/p>\n
      Rent Control Court disallowing eviction on the<\/p>\n
      grounds under section 11(4)(ii) and 11(8). The<\/p>\n
      Appellate Authority accepted the challenge which<\/p>\n
R. C. R. No.48 of 2010        -3-<\/span><\/p>\n
      was made on behalf of the landlord during the<\/p>\n
      course of arguments in the appeal against the<\/p>\n
      order of the Rent Control Court disallowing<\/p>\n
      eviction under section 11(8) and has proceeded to<\/p>\n
      order eviction under section 11(8) also apart from<\/p>\n
      confirm the eviction order passed by the Rent<\/p>\n
      Control Court.\n<\/p>\n
             2. When this RCR came up for admission, we<\/p>\n
      have heard the submissions of Mr.D.Krishna<\/p>\n
      Prasad, the learned counsel for the revision<\/p>\n
      petitioner and those of Sri.R.Azad Babu who had<\/p>\n
      lodged a caveat on behalf of the respondent\/<\/p>\n
      landlord. It is apparently invoking the principles<\/p>\n
      underlying Order 41 Rule 22 that the learned Rent<\/p>\n
      Control Appellate Authority ordered eviction under<\/p>\n
R. C. R. No.48 of 2010         -4-<\/span><\/p>\n
      section 11(8) notwithstanding the non-filing of<\/p>\n
      any appeal or memorandum of cross objection by<\/p>\n
      the landlord. According to us, Order 41 Rule 22<\/p>\n
      would only enable the respondent\/landlord to<\/p>\n
      object to any findings in the order impugned in<\/p>\n
      the RCA which are against him. It was open to the<\/p>\n
      landlord to have filed a memorandum of cross<\/p>\n
      objection in this particular case. The landlord by<\/p>\n
      not filing any regular appeal or memorandum of<\/p>\n
      cross objections was ready and willing to suffer<\/p>\n
      the negative order which was passed by the Rent<\/p>\n
      Control Court in the RCP to the extent it pertains<\/p>\n
      to sub section 8 of section 11. Sri.Azad Babu, the<\/p>\n
      learned counsel for the respondent was unable to<\/p>\n
      support the action of the Appellate Authority in<\/p>\n
R. C. R. No.48 of 2010         -5-<\/span><\/p>\n
      ordering eviction under section 11(8). Hence, we<\/p>\n
      straight away vacate the judgment of the Rent<\/p>\n
      Control Appellate Authority ordering eviction<\/p>\n
      against the revision petitioner\/tenant on the<\/p>\n
      ground under sub section 8 of section 11.<\/p>\n
             3. The learned counsel for the revision<\/p>\n
      petitioner would assail the eviction order passed<\/p>\n
      by the Rent Control Appellate Authority on the<\/p>\n
      grounds of arrears of rent and the ground under<\/p>\n
      section 11(4)(iii) on the various grounds raised in<\/p>\n
      the memorandum of revision. Sri.Azad Babu,<\/p>\n
      however, would support those eviction orders on<\/p>\n
      the various reasons stated in the judgment of the<\/p>\n
      Appellate Authority. He reminded us of the<\/p>\n
      contours of this Court’s jurisdiction under section<\/p>\n
R. C. R. No.48 of 2010         -6-<\/span><\/p>\n
      20 and submitted that there is no warrant under<\/p>\n
      section 20 for interfering with the findings<\/p>\n
      concurrently entered by the Rent Control Court<\/p>\n
      and the Appellate Authority.\n<\/p>\n
             4. We have anxiously considered the rival<\/p>\n
      submissions. As for the order of eviction passed<\/p>\n
      under section 11(2)(b) concurrently, we notice<\/p>\n
      that the finding that the rent is in arrears as<\/p>\n
      alleged by the landlord entered by the authorities<\/p>\n
      below is on the basis of the evidence which was<\/p>\n
      available on record. After all, it is a provisional<\/p>\n
      order of eviction which is passed under section 11<\/p>\n
      (2)(b). It is always open to the tenant to have an<\/p>\n
      order vacated by making deposits under section<\/p>\n
      11(4)(ii). Hence, we are not interfering with the<\/p>\n
R. C. R. No.48 of 2010         -7-<\/span><\/p>\n
      order of eviction passed concurrently by the<\/p>\n
      authorities below. We confirm that order and<\/p>\n
      grant the revision petitioner two months’ time<\/p>\n
      from today for making requisite application under<\/p>\n
      section 11(4)(2) for getting that order vacated.<\/p>\n
             5. Equally so the finding of the Appellate<\/p>\n
      Authority which is the final fact finding authority<\/p>\n
      under the statutory scheme that the revision<\/p>\n
      petitioner is liable to be evicted on the ground<\/p>\n
      under section 11(4)(iii) is founded on evidence.<\/p>\n
      The Advocate Commissioner reported on the basis<\/p>\n
      of a local inspection conducted with notice to the<\/p>\n
      revision petitioner also that the revision petitioner<\/p>\n
      has put up a three storied building just 15 metres<\/p>\n
      away from the petition schedule premises which is<\/p>\n
R. C. R. No.48 of 2010         -8-<\/span><\/p>\n
      just one room. It was reported that excessive<\/p>\n
      areas are available in the first floor as well as in<\/p>\n
      the second floor of the three storied building. The<\/p>\n
      argument of the learned counsel for the revision<\/p>\n
      petitioner before us was that the activity which is<\/p>\n
      carried on by the revision petitioner is gold dye<\/p>\n
      works which require heavy machinery and for<\/p>\n
      conducting the said business a room in the ground<\/p>\n
      floor itself is necessary. But the Commissioner<\/p>\n
      reported that the buildings actually available<\/p>\n
      under the vacant possession of the revision<\/p>\n
      petitioner is reasonably sufficient for the revision<\/p>\n
      petitioner’s requirement of conducting dye works.<\/p>\n
      That being so, it was up to the revision petitioner<\/p>\n
      to have filed objections to the Commission Report<\/p>\n
R. C. R. No.48 of 2010          -9-<\/span><\/p>\n
      and substantiated those objections by citing the<\/p>\n
      commissioner as a witness. The revision petitioner<\/p>\n
      did not do so. He opted to rely on the oral<\/p>\n
      evidence adduced by his son as RW1 alone.<\/p>\n
      Moreover,       we  notice   that    the   statutory<\/p>\n
      requirement is not that the alternate building in<\/p>\n
      the possession of the tenant should be perfectly<\/p>\n
      suitable. The requirement is only that it must be<\/p>\n
      reasonably sufficient. We feel that the finding<\/p>\n
      concurrently entered by the authorities below that<\/p>\n
      the premises in the vacant possession of the<\/p>\n
      revision petitioner is reasonably sufficient does<\/p>\n
      not suffer from any infirmity as envisaged by<\/p>\n
      section 20. It will also be noticed that the revision<\/p>\n
      petitioner himself was a landlord and at the place<\/p>\n
R. C. R. No.48 of 2010        -10-<\/span><\/p>\n
      where      the  three  storied  building    is   now<\/p>\n
      constructed there was an old building occupied by<\/p>\n
      a tenant of his. That tenant was got evicted<\/p>\n
      through the Rent Control Proceedings on the<\/p>\n
      ground that the revision petitioner needs that<\/p>\n
      building for his own occupation. After evicting that<\/p>\n
      tenant he did not occupy that building, instead he<\/p>\n
      pulled down that building and constructed this<\/p>\n
      multi storied building. There was at least five<\/p>\n
      rooms in the ground floor of that building. What<\/p>\n
      the revision petitioner did was to sell off all those<\/p>\n
      five rooms. Having done so, it is not open to the<\/p>\n
      revision petitioner now to contend that he requires<\/p>\n
      a room in the ground floor itself for his purpose.<\/p>\n
      Principles of evicting are also applicable to<\/p>\n
R. C. R. No.48 of 2010         -11-<\/span><\/p>\n
      decision making by the statutory authorities under<\/p>\n
      the Rent Control Act. See Rule 11(8) of Kerala<\/p>\n
      Building (Lease & Rent Control) Rules. It is most<\/p>\n
      equitable on the part of the revision petitioner to<\/p>\n
      insist on a ground floor room itself, now.<\/p>\n
             6. The result of the above discussion is that<\/p>\n
      the RCR is stand allowed only to the extent of<\/p>\n
      vacating the order of eviction passed under<\/p>\n
      section 11(8). It stands dismissed in other<\/p>\n
      respects. However, considering the request of the<\/p>\n
      revision petitioner we are inclined to grant time to<\/p>\n
      the revision petitioner to surrender the premises<\/p>\n
      till 30\/06\/2010. Revision Petitioner shall file an<\/p>\n
      affidavit before the execution court within ten<\/p>\n
      days from today undertaking to give peaceful<\/p>\n
R. C. R. No.48 of 2010       -12-<\/span><\/p>\n
      surrender of the building to the respondent\/<\/p>\n
      landlord on or before 30\/06\/10. It will also be<\/p>\n
      undertaken through the same affidavit that<\/p>\n
      arrears of rent will be discharged within two<\/p>\n
      months and occupational charges at the current<\/p>\n
      rent rate of Rs.250\/- will be paid to the<\/p>\n
      respondent as and when the same falls due till<\/p>\n
      such time as surrender is made.\n<\/p>\n
