Finding was recorded that U. P. Act No. 13 of 1972 is applicable to the shop in question. Against the said decree of the Judge, Small Causes Court, the tenant preferred Civil Revision No. 55 of 1992 before this Court. During pendency of the revision, original landlord Shiv Narain Chaudhary died and was substituted by Surya Narain Chaudhary. The defendant No. 2 Dina Nath, also died and his name was deleted from array of the parties. The Civil Revision No. 55 of 1992 was dismissed by this Court vide order dated 5.5.2006 upholding the judgment and decree of the Judge, Small Causes Court. This Court, while dismissing the revision noticed that the case took 11 years in the trial court and 14 years in the High Court. However, the tenant preferred Special Leave to Appeal (Civil) No. 14610 of 2006 before the Apex Court, which was also dismissed on 25.8.2006. Learned counsel for the tenant prayed for one year's time to vacate the accommodation, which was not disagreed by the counsel for the landlord. An affidavit was filed on 20.9.2006 to the effect that the vacant possession of the shop Nos. 9, 10 and 11 will be handed over on or before 25.8.2007. However, the tenant did not vacate the accommodation in accordance with the undertaking given in pursuant to the direction of the Apex Court and continued to be in occupation.
