Present:

Ms. Manjri, Advocate for the petitioner.

Mr. Rajbir Wasu, Advocate for the respondent.

**** AJAY TEWARI, J.(Oral) On 25.9.2017, the following order was passed :- "The petition has been filed after the notified date, the Punjab Rent Act came into force on 30.11.2013 and therefore, the trial cannot proceed for want of jurisdiction when presented under the old Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner relies on the judgment in Krishan Kumar Vs. Kamla Devi, 2016 (I) RCR (Rent) 525.

Learned counsel for the respondent prays for some time to go through the judgment.

List on 15.11.2017."

Counsel for the respondent has very fairly accepted that the rent application cannot proceed under the old Act and also the judgment cited by the learned counsel for the petitioner on the last date of hearing and that the respondent-landlord would be entitled to file formal applications for amendment of number of the Section and the title of the Act mentioned therein.
