I have heard Shri S. N. Vcrma, senior counsel for the petitioner and Shri Rajcsh Tandon, learned counsel for the contesting respondent.
Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner is suffering from high blood pressure, hypertension with angina attacks. The doctors advised him to live on the ground floor. The petitioner offered to the tenant that he would give the second floor which is in his occupation but both the authorities under misapprehension of law and facts rejected this offer.
(3.) A perusal of the order passed by the Appellate Authority indicates that he relied upon the report of Dr. VK. Jain (Vijai Kumar Jain) wherein he had indi cated that the petitioner is suffering from heart ailment. Respondent No. 3 had also submitted report of Dr. VK. Jain (Vimal Kumar Jain) wherein he had indicted that the pain of respondent No. 3 appears to be muscular only. It is contended that these two doctors were entirely different and secondly there was not justification for not accepting the certificate issued by Dr. VK. Jain (Vijii Kumar Jain) who certified that the petitioner is suffering from heart ailment.
The Appellate Authority has taken the view that the petitioner was working in a hotel which is situate on the first floor and, therefore, he can also reside on the second floor of the house. The mere fact that some person is working for the pur pose of his avocation will not itself indicate that he is not suffering from heart ailment. The petitioner has further filed large num ber of documents which indicate that he had heart attack or was suffering from heart ailment.;
