(2 of 2) [CW-12932/2021] In support of contentions, counsel relied upon the judgment passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the matter of Hameed Kunju vs. Nazimin, reported in (2017) 8 Supreme Court Cases 611, wherein it has been held as under:-

We sincerely feel that the eviction matters should be given priority in their disposal at all stages of litigation and especially where the eviction is claimed on the ground of bona fide need of the landlord. We hope and trust that due attention would be paid by all courts to ensure speedy disposal of eviction cases."

In that view of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Rent Tribunal, Rent Tribunal, No.1 (Additional Senior Civil Judge & Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate No.1) Jaipur Metropolitan-I to decide the eviction petition No.597/2018 preferably within a period of one year.
