Sanjay Kumar And ORS v. Janta Pustaklya Bawal Trust

IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT

CHANDIGARH CR-3482-2021 Date of decision: 11.07.2022 SANJAY KUMAR AND ORS ..Petitioners

Versus

JANTA PUSTAKALYA BAWAL TRUST ..Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KSHETARPAL

Present:

Mr. Abhinav Gupta, Advocate for the petitioners.

ANIL KSHETARPAL, J(Oral) The petitioners are the tenants. The Authorities below have revised the rent from Rs.82/- per month to Rs.92/- per month. This Bench has heard the learned counsel representing the petitioners.

He submits that previously the property in question was owned by Janta Pustakalya Bawal Trust, a registered Society which has never been dissolved. He submits that the petition filed under Section 4 of the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1973, is not maintainable. It is evident from the reading of the judgment passed by the Appellate Authority that the Society was dissolved by passing a resolution and Janta Pustakalya Bawal Trust stepped into the shoes of the Society. The learned counsel representing the petitioner relies upon the judgment passed in PDM Religious and Educational Association and others Vs. State of Haryana Civil Secretariat, Chandigarh and others, 2022(1) SCT 59. In that case, the validity of territorial jurisdiction of a private university set up under the Haryana Private University Act, 2006, was the primary question.

Hence, the judgment is not applicable to the present case. CHETAN THAKUR 2022.07.14 10:27 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document.

CR-3482-2021 -2In view thereof, no ground to interfere is made out. Dismissed.

All the pending miscellaneous applications, if any, are also disposed of.
