It is the case of the petitioner that he is the lessee of commercial shop No.64 situated at Koneti Kalwa Street, Proddatur, YSR Kadapa District and he started a retail oil shop in the said premises, and as there was loss in his business, he submitted representations to the 2nd respondent to reduce the rent.

Till then, the 2nd respondent is directed not to take any coercive steps against the petitioner."
