JUDGEMENT
SURINDER GUPTA, J. -
(1.)This revision petition is directed against Order dated 31.03.2016 passed by Appellate Authority, Amritsar under the East
Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act whereby appeal filed by respondent no.
1- Ravi Bhalla was accepted and order dated 10.07.2014 passed by Rent Controller, Amritsar, dismissing the petition filed by respondent no. 1
seeking ejectment of revision-petitioner from the demised premises on the
ground that there exists no relationship of landlord and tenant between
parties, was set aside and case was remanded to Rent Controller to decide
the same on merit as per law.
(2.)Admittedly, revision-petitioner is tenant in the demised premises and the premises was (earlier) owned by Amritsar Improvement Trust. As per
respondent no. 1, Improvement Trust had sold the demised premises vide
conveyance deed dated 10.01.1997 (Mark A-5) to Chatar Singh and Dalip
Singh, who further sold it to different persons and ultimately respondent
no. 1-Ravi Bhalla purchased the same.
(3.)Revision-petitioner has contended that Improvement Trust continued to be owner of suit property, which does not vest in respondent no.1.
Learned counsel for revision-petitioner while referring to statement of
RW-1 Sunil Sharma, an employee of Improvement Trust, has argued that he
has stated that title of suit property still vests in the Improvement
Trust, as such, there is dispute of title inter se respondent no. 1 and
Improvement Trust. Where there is conflict of title, it is always
relevant to direct parties to get their title decided from Civil Court.
He has further argued that sale deeds executed by Improvement Trust in
favour of Chatar Singh and Dalip Singh are void in view of resolution of
the Trust bearing no. 112 dated 25.06.1985 (Annexure A-1), whereby plot
allotted to Chatar Singh and Dalip Singh was resumed.
