(2.) BRIEF background of the case is that Rajendra Kumar Jain proceeded to file application under section 21 (1)(a) of U.P. Act No. 13 of 1972 against Suraj Prasad mentioning therein that decree of ejectment be passed. In the said proceeding so undertaken, on 19.8.1982 parties to the dispute entered appearance and entered into compromise mentioning therein that building in question is in dilapidated condition and as such same may be demolished and reconstruction may be carried there. Said compromise was entered and decree was passed immediately on the basis of the compromise on 19.8.1982. Said decree in question was not placed for execution and Rajendra Kumar Jain ultimately moved an application for execution being Misc. Application No. 2 of 1988 wherein service on respondents was presumed to be sufficient on 30.5.1988. Thereafter Form-D was issued on 8.5.1989 itself and possession was taken from the petitioner by force, it has been alleged by the petitioner. Petitioner claimed that he was occupying shop in question before 1970 as tenant, after eviction of Suraj Prasad, refereed to above. The shop in question was taken on rent by the petitioner at Rs. 12/- per month and he was regularly paying the rent to Smt. Bhodevi Kunwar, mother of respondent No. 2. Petitioner has also contended that in the year 1987, he has sensed that eviction was being planned by the landlord, then he filed Original Suit No. 618 of 1987 in the Court of Munsif, Etah and therein petitioner claims that order of status quo was passed on 30.5.1988. Petitioner has contended that in spite of said injunction being there, on the strength of the order passed in Execution Case No. 2 of 1988 he was thrown out from the premises in question and in this background he moved an application under section 34 read with Rule 22 (f) of U.P. Act No. 13 of 1972 read with section 151, C.P.C. on 9.5.1989. Against the application moved on 9.5.1989, Rajendra Kumar Jain filed an objection on 10.5.1989. In the said case request was made for summoning of the documents of the Original Suit No. 618 of 1987, sales tax papers etc. to prima facie prove tenancy right qua the shop in question. Said documents had been summoned. The Prescribed Authority passed order rejecting application moved on behalf of the petitioner. At this juncture present writ petition has been filed questioning the orders dated 23.5.1989 and orders dated 28.4.1989 and 8.5.1989 passed by Prescribed Authority, Etah.
