CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AMARINDER SINGH GREWAL ****

Present:

Mr. Kuldeep Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner.

**** AMARINDER SINGH GREWAL, J. (Oral) 1.

The present revision petition has been filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India seeking a direction to the learned Appellate Court to decide the stay application expeditiously. 2.

Briefly stated, the facts are that the respondent, being one of the landlords, instituted an eviction petition under Section 24(3) of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 for immediate possession of the shop in question on the grounds of non-payment of rent and bona fide requirement. Owing to a communication gap between the petitioner and his counsel, the petitioner failed to appear before the learned Rent Controller and was proceeded against ex parte vide order dated 27.03.2024. Thereafter, the learned Rent Controller allowed the rent petition vide judgment dated 03.01.2026, directing the petitioner to vacate the shop in dispute within two months and to hand over possession to the respondent. Aggrieved by the aforesaid judgment, the petitioner preferred an appeal along with an application for SHUBHAM 2026.05.07 12:34 I am the author of this document -1-

CR-3791-2026 stay before the learned First Appellate Court, which is now pending for 15.05.2026. Hence, the present petition.

3.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the learned Rent Controller has erroneously allowed the rent petition filed by the respondent. It is contended that the appeal has already been preferred and the limited prayer in the present petition is for expeditious disposal of the stay application in a time-bound manner.

4.

I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the paper book.

5.

Considering the limited nature of the relief sought, issuance of notice to the respondents is dispensed with, as the same would only result in further delay of the proceedings.

6.

In view of the aforesaid submissions and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present revision petition is disposed of with a direction to the learned First Appellate Court to decide the stay application filed along with the appeal on the date already fixed, i.e. 15.05.2026, or within a short period thereafter, by granting only short adjournments, in accordance with law.

7.

Pending application(s), if any, stand also disposed of accordingly.
