Bedi, J.<\/p>\n<p>1. The present petition has been filed at the instance of the landlord aggrieved by the orders of the Rent Controller and the Appellate Authority made on an application filed under<br \/>\nSection 12 of the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1973 (hereinafter referred to as the &#8216;Act&#8217;) to the effect that minor repairs envisaged under that<br \/>\nSection were required to be made at the instance of the tenant-respondent.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. The facts relevant to the disposal of this petition are given hereunder:-\n<\/p>\n<p> The respondent moved an application under Section 12 of the Act that the shop in dispute along with staircase and roof which was in his tenancy was required to be repaired. The petition was contested by the petitioner on various grounds including that the tenancy had come to an end and as such the relationship of landlord and tenant between the parties did not exist any longer. On merits, it was denied that the shop in dispute needed any repair.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. On perusal of the pleadings filed by the parties, the Rent Controller framed the following issues: &#8211;\n<\/p>\n<p>1. Whether the petitioner is entitled to get repaired the disputed premises from the respondent under Rent Act, OPA<\/p>\n<p>2. Whether the application of the petitioner is maintainable in the present from ? OPR.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. Whether the application of the petitioner is false and frivolous and respondent is entitled for special costs u\/s 35-A CPC ? OPR.\n<\/p>\n<p>4. Relief.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Rent Controller after examining the evidence produced by the respective parties decided issue no.1 in favour of the respondent whereas issue Nos. 2 and 3 were not pressed. As per discussion under issue No. 1 the application filed by the respondent was allowed and the repairs stipulated were ordered to be effected. For arriving at the conclusion aforesaid, the Rent Controller relied on a decision inter parties with respect to the same property dated 8th March, 1991 arising out of an application filed under<br \/>\nSection 13 of the Act by the landlord Jagan Nath seeking to evict the respondent on the ground that the shop in dispute had become unsafe and unfit for human habitation. The Rent Controller dismissed the said application and it is now stated by Mr. Singla, learned counsel for the respondent, that the appeal before the Appellate Authority as also the Civil Revision filed in this Court have already been dismissed affirming the<br \/>\njudgment dated 8th March, 1991. It had been found by the Rent controller in that judgment that the shop in dispute was fit for human habitation and required only minor repairs, as has been pleaded by the respondent in the present case.\n<\/p>\n<p>4. I have considered the evidence and the findings recorded in the present petition and find that the findings of fact warrant no interference. The judgment dated 8th March, 1991 has been affirmed up to this Court in which it had been held that the building was fit for human habitation, but required only minor repairs. This was the precise prayer that had been made by the tenant respondent in his application out of which the present petition arises. I, therefore, find no merit in the revision petition and dismiss the same with no order as to costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court Jagan Nath vs Ram Saran on 15 February, 1994 Equivalent citations: (1994) 108 PLR 292 Author: H Bedi Bench: H Bedi JUDGMENT H.S.
