CR-1538-2025 -24.

Eviction petition has been filed by the petitioner on the ground of bonafide necessity of a shop, which is pending for the last almost five years. Plaintiff concluded his evidence in 2023, but as is evident from the interim orders passed by the Trial Court, respondents are delaying the proceedings. This Court, therefore, finds substance in the request made by counsel for the petitioner.

5.

Accordingly, Rent Controller, Gurugram is directed to conclude the proceedings as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four months from the date of communication of a copy of this order. 6.

Petition is disposed off.
