JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) THIS is a tenant's petition challenging the concurrent findings recorded
by both the Courts below. So far as the finding recorded by the Courts
about change of user is concerned, it is clear from the written agreement
between the parties that open land was given for putting up a depot for
sale of coal and firewood. An admitted position is that, presently it is
being used for residence. It is clear that as a result of the judgment of
Division Bench of this Court in the case of Narayanlal Bansilal deceased
Venkatlal Govindlal Petit and others vs. M/s Bright Brothers and others,
reported in 1979 Bom.C.R. 288, in so far as provision of section 108(o)
of the Transfer of Property Act is concerned, it is not necessary for the
landlord to prove that such change of user is destructive or permanently
injurious to the premises. Once premises are given only for the purpose
of commercial use and it is used for residential purpose, would be change
of user. Besides, both the Courts below have recorded concurrent findings
of facts. Considering the extremely limited jurisdiction of this Court
under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, it would not be proper to
interfere with the concurrent findings recorded by both the Courts below.
Petition is rejected.
(2.) BY consent of parties, operation of the interim order passed in this petition shall continue for a Period of six weeks from today.
