Kannan.\n\nPresent:     Mr. Amit Jain, Advocate for the petitioner.\n\n             Ms. Abha Rathore, Advocate for the respondent.\n\nK. Kannan, J.\n<\/pre>\n<p>      1.     The landlord&#8217;s application for eviction was in respect of two<\/p>\n<p>shops which had been rented out to the tenant on two distinct dates for the<\/p>\n<p>same purpose of carrying on business by the tenant. The first shop rented<\/p>\n<p>out in 1981 and the second shop was rented out in 1985. The petition was<\/p>\n<p>presented on 16.7.1986 claiming eviction on the ground of non-payment of<\/p>\n<p>rent from 1.03.1986 and for deliberate acts of waste of the tenant that went<\/p>\n<p>to decreasing the value and utility of the building.<\/p>\n<p>      2.     The case survived only on one ground namely of the acts of the<\/p>\n<p>tenant that decreased the value and utility of the building, having regard to<\/p>\n<p>the fact that the tenant had paid the arrears of rent at the first hearing. The<\/p>\n<p>Rent Controller however, dismissed the petition on the ground that the<\/p>\n<p>landlord had not clearly spelt out the details of the alleged acts of<\/p>\n<p>demolition made by the tenant. The appellate court also confirmed the<\/p>\n<p>decision of the trial Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3.     The learned counsel appearing for the landlord assails the<\/p>\n<p>findings of both the Court as having been made without proper reference to<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Revision No.1455 of 1989 (O &amp; M)                     -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>pleadings. On the finding by the Rent controller that there were no specific<\/p>\n<p>pleadings of the landlord relating to the acts of demolition, the counsel for<\/p>\n<p>the revision petitioner points out to the averments in the petition as regards<\/p>\n<p>the ground raised by him in the following words:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                         &#8220;That the respondent without the consent of the<br \/>\n            petitioner has demolished the wall which was constructed<br \/>\n            between shops Nos.1 and 2 and removed the beam and opened<br \/>\n            one door between the said partitioned wall and another door<br \/>\n            towards Road and also constructed two dark rooms in the two<br \/>\n            shops, thus made an addition and alterations without consent of<br \/>\n            the petitioner, thereby making the shops in question awkward<br \/>\n            and unfit for human habitation and thereby diminished the<br \/>\n            value and utility of the shops in question.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>      4.    To these expressed averments in the petition relating to the<\/p>\n<p>removal of partition wall between the two shops and the removal of the<\/p>\n<p>beam, the tenant had merely filed a counter which reads as follows:-<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                         &#8220;That Para No.7(b) of the petition is incorrect and<br \/>\n            no ground of ejectment is available to the petitioner and the<br \/>\n            petition is liable to be dismissed with costs being in abuse of<br \/>\n            the process of the Court.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>      5.    The counsel for the revision petitioner contended that there had<\/p>\n<p>not been even a specific denial of the allegation attributed to the tenant;<\/p>\n<p>that the observation of the Rent Controller that the landlord had not pleaded<\/p>\n<p>sufficiently to establish the ground of eviction sought was clearly wrong.<\/p>\n<p>He would further urge that the tenant had prevaricating stand even at the<\/p>\n<p>trial. He admitted that there was separate wall between the two shops at one<\/p>\n<p>point of time and at another time he contended that the wall had been<\/p>\n<p>removed by the landlord himself. In yet another place, he contended that he<\/p>\n<p>did not remove the wall, as if to say that the wall still existed.        The<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Revision No.1455 of 1989 (O &amp; M)                                           -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>translated portion of the evidence read as follows:-<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                               &#8220;The wall falling in between both the shops was<br \/>\n            common, but there was a door in the same. I am running a<br \/>\n            business of photographer. I have not removed the wall, it was<br \/>\n            lying removed since the very beginning. There is a wall and<br \/>\n            door between both the shops. I have made one room as a dark-<br \/>\n            room. It is incorrect that there is no wall. One shop opens<br \/>\n            towards two sides. There is a shutter installed on both the<br \/>\n            sides&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..<br \/>\n            &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; It is incorrect to say that the wall and door<br \/>\n            were removed by the applicant himself. The applicant had<br \/>\n            removed the central wall and given me on rent.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>      6.    This evidence clearly shows that the tenant was trying to be<\/p>\n<p>evasive about who carried out the removal of the wall. The site plan filed<\/p>\n<p>along with the petition clearly states the existence of the wall. The removal<\/p>\n<p>of the wall and the beam have a definite bearing on the integrity of the<\/p>\n<p>building and if the wall is proved to have been removed, it ought not to<\/p>\n<p>possible for tenant to contend that the landlord himself removed the wall<\/p>\n<p>and rented the building.            There were definite averments in the petition<\/p>\n<p>regarding the conduct of removal of wall by the tenant after the creation of<\/p>\n<p>tenancy. The rejection of the application for eviction only on the ground<\/p>\n<p>that the landlord had not given the date of removal is not, in my view,<\/p>\n<p>appropriate. The contention of the landlord that the tenant had also made<\/p>\n<p>some internal modifications for his business of setting up dark rooms cannot<\/p>\n<p>probably be said to impair the utility or the use of the building.                                        The<\/p>\n<p>landlord, who knew all the particulars of business which the tenants was<\/p>\n<p>carrying on ought to have known that the tenant could make some small<\/p>\n<p>modifications to suit his business.                  Indeed, every addition or alteration<\/p>\n<p>cannot entitle the landlord to secure eviction. The law requires material<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Revision No.1455 of 1989 (O &amp; M)                      -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>impairment of the building by the conduct of the tenant. The material<\/p>\n<p>impairment urged by the landlord was very clear in its expression that the<\/p>\n<p>tenant had removed the beam and opened one door between the partition<\/p>\n<p>wall and another door towards the road. I have already pointed out to the<\/p>\n<p>fact that there was no specific denial of this statement in the petition.<\/p>\n<p>      7.     The dismissal of the petition of the landlord has been made<\/p>\n<p>without properly adverting to the pleadings and the evidence and<\/p>\n<p>particularly the prevaricating stand taken by the tenant.            Under the<\/p>\n<p>circumstances the orders of the Courts below are set aside and eviction is<\/p>\n<p>ordered as prayed for.\n<\/p>\n<p>      8.     Having regard to the fact that the tenant has been carrying on<\/p>\n<p>business since 1981, the tenant shall have three months time to vacate the<\/p>\n<p>premises. The revision petition is allowed on the above terms. No costs.<\/p>\n<p>                                                             ( K.
