(1.)Rajendra Kumar, the unsuccessful landlord in both the Courts below is the Revision petitioner in this Civil Revision Petition filed under Section 22 of the A.P. Buildings (Lease, Rent & Eviction) Control Act, 1960, in short referred to as "Act" hereinafter.
(2.)The landlord filed R.C.No.480/84 on the file of I Additional Rent Controller, Hyderabad which was dismissed and aggrieved by the same, the landlord filed R.A.No.2/91 on the file of Additional Chief Judge, City Small Causes Court, Hyderabad, which was dismissed and aggrieved by the same, the present Civil Revision Petition is filed.
(3.)Sri P.R. Prasad, the learned Counsel representing the petitioner made the following submissions. The learned Counsel pointed out that there is default in payment of certain amounts and no doubt Section 11 of the Act was not invoked and there is material definitely to show that the procedure was not followed in payment of rents and hence the default shown should be taken as wilful default. The learned Counsel also commented that though the payment of rent is highly irregular, the Courts below had totally erred in arriving at the conclusion that the payments are regular. The learned Counsel further submitted that mere sending of money orders may not be sufficient. The learned Counsel also had elaborately argued about the need or necessity and had contended that even if it is of joint family, the evidence clearly shows that the ground of bonafide personal requirement of the landlord is well established. The learned Counsel also had placed strong reliance on several decisions in this regard. Per contra Sri Virendra Kumar, the learned Counsel while making elaborate submissions had contended that none of the grounds had been established. The learned Counsel had taken this Court through the findings recorded by both the Court of first instance and also the appellate Court and had contended that absolutely there are no grounds to interfere with such concurrent findings. The learned Counsel also had placed reliance on several decisions to substantiate his contentions in this regard.
