(2.)The petitioner tenant had filed a suit
for permanent injunction restraining the
landlord - respondent defendant No. 1 Nitya
Nand to (for) not to interfere in the possession over
the shop in dispute as fully described in the heading of the suit. Both the
Courts below have concurrently found that
brothers of the tenant petitioner namely Lal
Chand and Har Chand, defenda nt respondent Nos. 2 and 3 have
contested the litigation against the landlord- defendant- respondent
No. 1 and they have lost the same
up to the Supreme Court. It has further been
found that the aforementioned defendant
respondent Nos. 2 and 3 had executed a rent
note on 28-6-1989 and in pursuance thereto
extensive repair of the demised shop was
undertaken. When the execution proceedings
were instituted by the landlord defendant respondent No.1 an objection was
raised on behalf of the tenant - petit ioner
that they were not parties to the earlier ejectment proceedings where defendant respondent
Nos. 2 and 3 were sought to be ejected
from the demised shop. On that basis it was
urged that no execution can be ordered
against the tenant petitioner. However, bo th
of them filed a civil suit for permanent injunction along with an application under
Order 39, Rules 1 and 2 of the Code.
(3.)Shri Amit Jain, learned counsel for
the tenant petitioner has argued that the
tenant - petitioner had inherited the tenancy
rights of his father Jutha Ram and they were
never a party to the proceedings which
culminated in the Supreme Court upholding
the claim of the landlord - defendant
respondent No. 1 directing the ejectment of the other
legal heirs namely defendant respondent
Nos. 2 and 3. Learned counsel has also
urged that the tenant petitioner were also
not party to the rent note dated 28-6-1989
in pursuance to which extensive repair of
the shop was undertaking and it was virtually
re-laid. Therefore, in the absence of th ere
being a party their right of tenancy cannot
be jeopardised.
