CR No.414 of 2004(O&M) [2] back with the report that the petitioner left the given address for the last three years.

Learned counsel for the respondents, on the last date of hearing, submitted that he was also unable to contact the respondents/landlords, despite best efforts and is unable to inform about the present status regarding possession of the demised property. As noticed above, the petitioner is reported to have left from his given address in the petition under Section 13 of the Act and the address in the memo of parties is reported to be incomplete. It appears that he may no longer be interested in contesting the present petition. Petition is accordingly dismissed in default. Liberty is however afforded to the petitioner to move an appropriate application, in case he is still in possession of the demised premises. It is further directed that in case of any execution proceedings initiated by the respondents pursuant to passing of this order, learned Executing Court to send intimation thereof with reference to this petition, which shall be put up before the Court for consideration.

Copy of this order be conveyed to the concerned Executing Court as well as to the petitioner on the address mentioned in the petition (Annexure P3) as well as the address mentioned in the memo of parties. ( LISA GILL ) October 16 , 2019.
