- (1.) THIS petition has been filed by the tenants for quashing the order dated 24th May, 1995 passed by the Rent Control and Eviction Officer, Aligarh.
(2.) THE landlord had filed an application under section 16 (1) (b) of the u. P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972 (hereinafter referred to as the 'act') for release of the premises as deemed vacancy under section 12 of the Act had occurred since the tenants had illegally allowed it to be occupied by one Sri Thakur Das. A report dated 22nd september, 1978 was submitted by the Rent Control and Eviction Officer and ultimately the application filed by the landlord was rejected by the Rent control and Eviction Officer by the order dated 21st September, 1979 holding that vacancy had not arisen. This order was challenged by the landlord by filing a Revision, which was allowed by the order dated 5th April, 1980 and the matter was remanded. The tenants filed Writ Petition No. 6317 of 1980 to challenge the order passed in the Revision and by the judgment and order dated 10th January, 1984, the petition was dismissed and it was observed that the rent Control and Eviction Officer shall decide the matter in accordance with the remand order dated 5th April, 1980. The Rent Control and Eviction Officer after remand, by the order dated 24th May, 1985 declared vacancy. It is this order dated 24th May, 1965, that has been impugned in the present writ petition,
