2023:PHHC:039046 CR-3471-2011(O&M) -2The limited point raised by the learned counsel of the petitioner in the present was whether an 'Overseas Citizen of India' would fall within the purview of Section 2(dd) of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act. 1949. The learned counsel for the respondent states that the Supreme Court in the case of Ram Krishan Grover & Ors. Vs. Union of India [2019(2) RCR (Rent) 703] has held that a person of Indian origin holding a foreign passport falls within the definition of a NRI. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that no other point arises in the present case.
In view of the above and in view of the law laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of Ram Krishan Grover (supra), the present revision petition is dismissed. Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed off.
