A. Muhamed Mustaque, J
The petitioner is the respondent in RCP No.8 of
2019 on the file of the Rent Control Court, Chittur.
Earlier in this matter, a Commission was taken out
and filed a report. Thereafter, at the time of
trial, a fresh Commission application was filed by
the landlord to prove that there are vacant rooms
available in the locality. This has been allowed and
a Commission report also has been filed.
2. According to the learned counsel for tenant,
the 2nd commission is not legally permissible unless
and until the earlier Commission report is set aside.
It is further submitted that the tenant would be
deprived from raising objection to the 2nd Commission
report as the Commission report was sought at the fag
end of the trial.
3. As of now, the Commissioner has already
filed a report. The Court can very well hear the
objections of the petitioner in regard to the
acceptance or placing reliance on the Commission OP (RC) NO. 9 OF 2023

report. The petitioner can also challenge the order,
if the petitioner is finally aggrieved by the outcome
of the proceedings. There is no necessity to
interfere with the impugned order.
4. The learned counsel for the petitioner
submits that he may be permitted to file a petition
to summon the documents from the local authority in
regard to the rooms referred to in the Commission
report. The petitioner is given liberty to move such
application before the Rent Controller. The petition
for summoning the documents from the local authority
shall be filed within three days from today. With
liberty and observations as above and without
interfering with the impugned order, this original
petition is disposed of.
