45 paragraphs · 893 wordsAppellant-defendant has preferred this second appeal aggrieved by impugned judgment & decree dated 4th of May, 2017 passed by Addl. District
Judge, Parbatsar (for short, ‘first appellate Court’) dismissing the appellant's appeal, and partly allowing the appeal of plaintiff-respondent
against judgment and decree dated 28th of October, 2013 passed by Civil Judge (Sr. Div.), Parbatsar (for short, ‘learned trial Court’), whereby
the suit filed by respondent-plaintiff, for eviction and recovery of rent against appellant-defendant was decreed.
Brief facts, giving rise to the present appeal are that respondent-plaintiff filed a suit for eviction and recovery of rent against appellant-defendant
stating that the suit property shop situated at Sikar Road, Kuchaman City was taken on rent by the appellant-defendant on rent @300 per month on
01.08.2000 and rent deed to that effect was written by him on 19.08.2000. Notice terminating the tenancy was given on 08.05.2000 but could not be
served as such another notice was given on 22.05.2009.  The plaintiff claimed unpaid rent of 32 months with interest on the arrears of rent. Â
Written statement to the plaint was filed by the appellant refuting the averments of plaint in toto while raising additional pleas to support his case.Â
Learned trial Court on the basis of pleadings of rival parties framed issues for determination and thereafter the rival parties tendered ocular as well as
documentary evidence. Learned trial Court, thereafter, proceeded to decide the issues and after appreciating the evidence available on record
decreed the suit filed by respondent-plaintiff directing the defendant to vacate the shop in question within a period of two months. The judgment and
decree passed by learned trial Court was challenged by way appeal by the appellant-defendant as well as respondent-plaintiff before the first appellate
Court, which dismissed the appeal of defendant-appellant affirming the judgment & decree passed by lower Court and allowed the appeal of plaintiff-
respondent directing the appellant-defendant to pay rent @Rs.300 per month from 31.03.2007 and mesne profit @Rs.3000 from termination of
tenancy till handing over vacant possession of the shop to respondent-plaintiff.Â
Learned counsel for the appellant-defendant, upon instructions, submits that the appellant-defendant is not pressing the appeal on merits but craving
that a reasonable time may be granted to him to handover vacant and peaceful possession of the suit premises.Â
Learned counsel for the respondent-landlord has very candidly accepted the proposal of learned counsel for the appellant to allow some time to the
appellant for vacating the rented premises.   After thorough deliberations, learned counsel for the respondent-landlord has agreed to allow a
reasonable time to the appellant to vacate the premises latest by 31st of December, 2019 subject to his paying mesne profit @Rs.3000 from
termination of tenancy i.e. 25.05.2009 till handing over vacant possession of the shop to respondent-plaintiff as ordered by learned first appellate
Court.Â
The aforesaid reasonable period to vacate the premises as with mesne profit @ Rs.3000 per month from 25.05.2009 and payment of arrears of rent is
accepted by learned counsel for the appellant without any demure.
Accordingly, the present second appeal of the appellantdefendant is closed with a direction to the appellant-defendant to furnish a written undertaking
