IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION
CIVIL APPEAL NO.4943 OF 2008 (Arising out of S.L.P.(C) 2648 of 2007)
Sunil Kumar & Anr. ... Appellant(s)
Versus
Anil Kumar ..Respondent(s)
ORDER
1. Leave granted.
2. This appeal is directed against the Judgment
and final order dated 1st of December, 2006
passed by the High Court of Punjab and Haryana
at Chandigarh in CR No. 6420 of 2006, by which
the High Court had dismissed the Civil Revision
case in limine.
3. The respondent filed an application for ejectment
of the appellant from the demised premises inter
alia on the ground of non-payment of rent, sub-
1 letting and bonafide requirement of the demised
premises before the Rent Controller.
4. The learned Rent Controller rejected the claim of
the respondent for eviction on the ground of non-
payment of the rent, subletting but on the
ground of bonafide requirement, he had allowed
the eviction against the appellant.
5. Feeling aggrieved by the order of the learned Rent
Controller, the appellant filed an appeal before
the Appellate Authority, Jallandhar and the
Appellate Authority, by its Judgment dated 15th
of November, 2006 dismissed the appeal of the
appellant.
6. Against the aforesaid orders of the Appellate
Authority as well as of the Rent Controller, the
appellant filed a Civil Revision case, as
mentioned herein. By the impugned order, the
said Revision case was also dismissed on the
ground that there was no perversity or infirmity
in the orders of the Tribunals below. Before us
2 also, the learned counsel could not satisfy that
the concurrent findings of fact, as affirmed by the
High Court, were vitiated by infirmity or
perversity.
7. Accordingly, we do not find any ground to
interfere with such concurrent findings of fact.
The appeal is thus dismissed.
8. We direct that the appellant shall be permitted to
keep the premises in question for a further
period of nine months from this date subject to
filing the usual undertaking in this court within
four weeks from today and on expiry of this
period, he shall vacate and handover peaceful
possession of the premises in question to the
respondent. No order as to costs.
