Suit No.<br \/>\n920\/98 dated 18.4.2006 may be quashed and set aside on the grounds<br \/>\nstated in the memo of this revision application, inter alia, that<br \/>\nboth the courts below have failed to appreciate and consider that in<br \/>\nthe chawl there are more than 25-30 rooms and while coming to the<br \/>\nconclusion both the courts below have only considered the oral<br \/>\nevidence of defendant No. 1 that he had left the premises in 1994-95,<br \/>\nbut has not considered the entire evidence.  It is also contended<br \/>\nthat both the courts below have erred in totally relying upon the<br \/>\noral evidence of the plaintiff, exh. 46.  It is also contended that<br \/>\nboth the courts have failed to appreciate that as defendant No. 1 had<br \/>\nto go to the native place a  mere caretaker in possession cannot be<br \/>\nsaid to be a tenant and therefore they have committed a grave error.<br \/>\nIt is also contended that both the courts below have failed to<br \/>\nappreciate that defendant No. 1 was a mill worker and on closure of<br \/>\nmill he had gone to the native place which would not amount to<br \/>\nsubletting unless there is a specific evidence.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.\tLearned<br \/>\ncounsel Mr. Gandhi referred to the judgment of both the courts below<br \/>\nand also the documentary evidence which has been discussed and<br \/>\nsubmitted that the HRP suit was decreed on the grounds of <\/p>\n<p>(i)<br \/>\n\t\t\tarrears of rent<\/p>\n<p>(ii)\tsubletting<\/p>\n<p>(iii)<br \/>\n\t\t   suitable accommodation acquired by the tenant<\/p>\n<p>Learned<br \/>\ncounsel Mr. Gandhi submitted that as stated in the written statement,<br \/>\nrent up to 1993 was paid and Application No. 894\/93 for the standard<br \/>\nrent was also filed, an amount of Rs. 1620\/- was deposited as per the<br \/>\ncourt&#8217;s order.  Learned counsel Mr. Gandhi therefore  submitted that<br \/>\nthis ground would not have much relevance and it was not pressed as<br \/>\nper the purshis.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.\tLearned<br \/>\ncounsel Mr. Gandhi submitted that therefore the main ground for the<br \/>\ndecree is subletting.  For that purpose he referred to exh. 45 as<br \/>\nwell as exh. 82 the evidence of one Hiralal, exh. 84 defendants&#8217;<br \/>\nevidence and also exh. 81 report of the Court Commissioner.  He<br \/>\nsubmitted that though both the courts below have come to the<br \/>\nconclusion about subletting on the premise that defendant No. 1 had<br \/>\ngone to the native place and in fact he has not occupied the premises<br \/>\nand he has let out to the sub-tenant, defendant No. S.  However,<br \/>\nlearned counsel Mr. Gandhi submitted that both the courts have failed<br \/>\nto appreciate that defendant No. 1 was a mill worker and on closure<br \/>\nof the mill he had gone to his native place for some time which would<br \/>\nnot be a ground for eviction when he has given it for taking care to<br \/>\nsomeone and in fact the evidence like electricity bills produced at<br \/>\nexh. 59-63 suggest that the premises was used and occupied.  There is<br \/>\nno other evidence produced with regard to the defendant No. 1 having<br \/>\nalternative accommodation. He submitted that earlier Civil Suit No.<br \/>\n921\/98 was filed and it was withdrawn. He submitted that issues were<br \/>\nframed at exh. 37 and the issue with regard to non-user has also been<br \/>\ndiscussed.  Learned counsel Mr. Gandhi submitted that for the purpose<br \/>\nreliance is placed on the oral evidence, but it has  not been<br \/>\nappreciated that defendant No. 1 had gone to the native place because<br \/>\nof the closure of the mill and he has also stated that he is working<br \/>\nin a factory.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tLearned<br \/>\ncounsel Mr. Gandhi has referred to and relied upon the judgment in<br \/>\nthe case of Manjulaben wd\/o <a href=\"\/doc\/478260\/\">Ramanlal Nathalal v. Gajiben<\/a> wd\/o<br \/>\nRamanlal Purshottam, reported in 2001 (1) GLR 186.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tLearned<br \/>\ncounsel Mr. D.C. Dave submitted that the concurrent finding of facts<br \/>\narrived at by the courts below may not be disturbed in exercise of<br \/>\nrevisional jurisdiction as the scope of revisional jurisdiction is<br \/>\nlimited. Learned counsel Mr. Dave has submitted that in fact<br \/>\ndefendant No. 1 has not even filed the written statement which itself<br \/>\nis sufficient to show that he was not occupying and using the<br \/>\npremises, but it was sublet to defendant No. 2. Learned counsel Mr.<br \/>\nDave submitted that it is well settled that unless the findings are<br \/>\nperverse, it may not be disturbed merely because the other view is<br \/>\npossible. He therefore submitted that the present revision<br \/>\napplication may not be entertained.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.\tIn<br \/>\nview of the rival submissions, it is required to be considered<br \/>\nwhether the present revision application can be entertained or not.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.\tIt<br \/>\nis well accepted that the scope of exercise of revisional<br \/>\njurisdiction is limited and even though the revision is under sec.<br \/>\n29(2) of the Rent Act which empowers the High Court to satisfy itself<br \/>\nwhether the judgment of the lower appellate court is according to law<br \/>\nor not, however, at the same time, it has also been made clear that<br \/>\nthe revisional jurisdiction cannot be equated with the appellate<br \/>\njurisdiction.  Though the submissions have been made by learned<br \/>\ncounsel Mr. Gandhi that if the court below has failed to appreciate<br \/>\nmaterial and evidence which goes to the root of the matter, then it<br \/>\nwould be permissible for the High Court to examine.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.\tIn<br \/>\nfact, sec. 29(2) of the Rent is an enabling provision for the High<br \/>\nCourt to satisfy that the decision was arrived at construing and<br \/>\ninterpreting the provision  of law properly and applying the<br \/>\nprinciple of law, the facts and evidence correctly.  In other words,<br \/>\nit refers to the application of proper law and interpreting the<br \/>\nprovision of law and\/or document and evidence on record.  Therefore,<br \/>\nre-appreciation of evidence will not be within the scope and ambit of<br \/>\nexercise of revisional jurisdiction.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.\tA<br \/>\nuseful reference can be made to the judgment of the Hon&#8217;ble Apex<br \/>\nCourt in the case of <a href=\"\/doc\/571495\/\">Patel Vanik Himatlal and ors. v. Patel<br \/>\nMohanlal Muljibhai,<\/a> reported in AIR 1989 SC 3325, which<br \/>\nhas referred to the scope and ambit of sec. 29(2) of the Bombay Rent<br \/>\nAct.  It has also considered the earlier judgment of the Hon&#8217;ble apex<br \/>\ncourt reported in (1987) 3 SCC 538=AIR 1987 SC 1782. Para 5 of the<br \/>\nsaid judgment reads as under:\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;5.\n<\/p>\n<p>The ambit and scope of the said section came up for consideration<br \/>\nbefore this Court in <a href=\"\/doc\/1378557\/\">Helper Girdharbhai v. Saiyed Mohmad Mirasaheb<br \/>\nKadri,<\/a> (1987) 3 SCC 538 : (AIR 1987 SC 1782) and after referring to a<br \/>\ncatena of authorities, Sabyasachi Mukharji, J. drew a distinction<br \/>\nbetween the appellate and the revisional jurisdictions of the Courts<br \/>\nand opined that the distinction was a real one. It was held that the<br \/>\nright to appeal carries with it the right of rehearing both on<br \/>\nquestions of law and fact, unless the statute conferring the right to<br \/>\nappeal itself limits the rehearing in some way, while the power to<br \/>\nhear a revision is generally given to a particular case is decided<br \/>\naccording to law. The Bench opined that although the High Court had<br \/>\nwider powers than that which could be exercised under Section 115 of<br \/>\nthe Code of Civil Procedure, yet its revisional jurisdiction could<br \/>\nonly be exercised for a limited purpose with a view to satisfying<br \/>\nitself that the decision under challenge before it is according to<br \/>\nlaw. The High Court cannot substitute its own findings on a question<br \/>\nof fact for the findings recorded by the Courts below on reappraisal<br \/>\nof evidence. Did the High Court exceed its jurisdiction ?&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>This<br \/>\nclearly suggests about the scope and ambit and it is further clearly<br \/>\nlaid down that unless the courts below have misdirected in applying<br \/>\nthe proper law or in construing the provision of law which goes to<br \/>\nthe root of the matter, the exercise of revisional jurisdiction would<br \/>\nnot be justified.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.\tIn the<br \/>\nfacts of the present case, a close scrutiny of the evidence as well<br \/>\nas the discussion made in the judgment of both the courts below<br \/>\nclearly suggests that they have considered the evidence for the<br \/>\npurpose of appreciating the issue regarding subletting or non-use by<br \/>\npetitioner No. 1, original defendant No. 1.  Admittedly, no written<br \/>\nstatement has been filed by defendant No. 1. As admitted by defendant<br \/>\nNo. 1 himself in his evidence, he had gone to the  native place after<br \/>\nclosure of the mill. Though it has been contended that he has been<br \/>\ndoing the business of cooking, the report of the court commissioner<br \/>\nclearly suggests that there are no such vessels.  On the other hand,<br \/>\nit has also been stated by defendant No. 1 in his evidence that he<br \/>\nwas working in a factory of which he cannot give the name of the<br \/>\nowner and there is no other evidence with him.  Admittedly, the wife<br \/>\nand the son reside at the native place and have agricultural<br \/>\noperations there.  The report of the court commissioner also refers<br \/>\nto repair work of the radio, TV sets which is done by defendant No. 2<br \/>\nwho has been admittedly using and occupying the premises.\n<\/p>\n<p>11.\tTherefore,<br \/>\nconsidering the provisions of sec. 13(i)(k) of the Rent Act which has<br \/>\nalso been discussed referring to the judgments of the High Court by<br \/>\nthe lower appellate court, it clearly establishes that the premises<br \/>\nwere not used by defendant No.1, the tenant himself, and the criteria<br \/>\nfor sec. 13(i)(k) was fulfilled.  There is a specific observation<br \/>\nthat defendant No. 1 has admitted that he has handed over the key of<br \/>\nthe said premises to defendant No. s in the year 1991 and from 1995<br \/>\nto 1999 he has not been using the said premises.  It also therefore<br \/>\nsuggests that physical possession and control of the premises has<br \/>\nbeen handed over by defendant No. 1-tenant to defendant No. 2.  This<br \/>\naspect is further discussed with reference that defendant No. 2 has<br \/>\nbeen doing the work of repairing TV sets in his house. Thus, as<br \/>\nrequired under law, it is necessary that there should be divesting of<br \/>\nexclusive possession by the tenant in favour of sub-tenant.\n<\/p>\n<p>12.\tIt is<br \/>\nwell-accepted that in order to prove tenancy  or sub-tenancy two<br \/>\ningredients are required to be established  :\n<\/p>\n<p>(i)exclusive<br \/>\nright of possession or interest in the premises,<\/p>\n<p>(ii) right<br \/>\nmust be in lieu of payment of some compensation or rent.\n<\/p>\n<p>When the<br \/>\nexclusive possession has been handed over for long  period as<br \/>\ndiscussed, it would amount to subletting and therefore the conclusion<br \/>\narrived at by both the courts below cannot be said to be erroneous.\n<\/p>\n<p>13.\tTherefore,<br \/>\nthe findings arrived at by both the courts below as discussed in the<br \/>\njudgments cannot be said to be erroneous which would call for any<br \/>\ninterference in exercise of revisional jurisdiction.  Therefore, the<br \/>\npresent revision application deserves to be rejected and accordingly<br \/>\nstand rejected. Notice is discharged. No order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n<p>(Rajesh H.\n<\/p>\n<p>Shukla J.)<\/p>\n<p> FURTHER<br \/>\nORDER<\/p>\n<p>\tAfter the<br \/>\njudgment was pronounced, learned counsel Mr. Gandhi submitted that<br \/>\nsome time may be granted to hand over vacant and peaceful possession<br \/>\nof the suit premises in question till December, 2011.
