RCREV. NO. 5 OF 2021
ORDER
Anil K. Narendran, J.
The petitioner is the respondent-tenant in R.C.P.No.16 of
2013 on the file of the Rent Control Court (Munsiff), Alathur, a
petition filed by the respondents-landlords seeking eviction of the
tenant under Section 11(2)(b) and 11(3) of the Kerala Buildings
(Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1965 ("the Act" for short). In the
Rent Control Petition, by order dated 16.06.2014, the petitioner
was set ex-parte. The tenant filed I.A.No.1420 of 2016 under
Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963, seeking an order to condone
the delay of 720 days in filing petition to set aside the ex-parte
order of eviction dated 16.06.2014 in R.C.P.No.16 of 2013.
However, that application was dismissed by the order dated
05.09.2019 of the Rent Control Court. Feeling aggrieved by the said
order, the petitioner filed R.C.A.No.20 of 2019 before the Rent
Control Appellate Authority-V (Additional District Judge-V),
Palakkad, which was also dismissed by the judgment dated
19.11.2020.
2. Challenging the judgment of the Rent Control Appellate
Authority dated 19.11.2020 in R.C.A.No.20 of 2019 confirming the
order dated 05.09.2019 of the Rent Control Court in I.A.No.1420 of
2016 in R.C.P.No.16 of 2013, the petitioner-tenant is before this
RCREV. NO. 5 OF 2021
Court in this Rent Control Revision, filed under Section 20 of the
Act.
3. On 07.01.2021, when this revision came up for
admission, this Court issued notice by speed post to the
respondent. This Court granted an interim order in I.A.No.1 of 2021
staying execution of the order of eviction in E.P.No.88 of 2015 in
R.C.P.No.16 of 2013 before the Munsiff Court, Alathur, for a period
of one month.
4. Despite service of notice, none appears for the
respondents-landlords.
5. Today, when the matter is taken up for consideration,
the learned counsel for the petitioner-tenant would submit that the
tenant had already purchased the petition schedule building from
the respondents-landlords and as such, the petitioner do not want
to prosecute this revision further.
In such circumstances, recording the above submission made
by the learned counsel for the petitioner-tenant, this Rent Control
Revision is dismissed as withdrawn.
