Order

The instant writ petition has been filed by the petitioners

with the prayer to direct the Rent Tribunal, Ajmer to decide the

eviction petition No.148/2014 expeditiously.

Counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petition is

pending before the Rent Tribunal, Ajmer since 2014. Counsel

further submits that according to the scheme of Rent Control Act,

2001, the eviction petition has to be decided within a period of

240 days.

In support of contentions, counsel relied upon the judgment

passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the matter of Hameed

[2023/RJJP/001304] (2 of 2) [CW-1960/2023]

Kunju vs. Nazimin, reported in (2017) 8 Supreme Court

Cases 611, wherein it has been held as under:-

"43. Before parting, we consider it apposite to observe that the object of the Rent Laws all over the State is to ensure speedy disposal of eviction cases between the landlord and tenant and especially those cases where the landlord seek eviction for his bona fide need.

44. 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, Ajmer to decide the eviction

petition No.148/2014 preferably within a period of one year.
