1.
During the pendency of the landlord's eviction petition, filed under Section 20 of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995, seeking eviction of the tenant, the Rent Controller as well as the Appellate Authority has proceeded to make provisional assessment of the arrears of rent, the correctness whereof is challenged before this Court.
2.
Heard the learned counsel representing the parties, at length and with their able assistance, perused the paper-book. 3.
The learned counsel representing the petitioner (tenant) contends that both the Courts below have erred in overlooking the transfer of the amount of rent through bank in favour of the landlord as well as his wife. On the other hand, the learned counsel representing the respondents submits that this argument was never taken up before the Courts below.
