P.C. : 1) By this Petition, Petitioner has challenged judgment and order dated 19 October 2019 passed by the Principal Judge, City Civil Court partly allowing Miscellaneous Appeal No. 181 of 2018. The Appeal was filed by the Petitioner challenging Order dated 4 May 2018 directing eviction of the Petitioner and demanding rent under ___Page No. 1 of 4 ___ 29 September 2026 MANE SONALI DILIP Digitally signed by MANE SONALI DILIP Date: 2026.09.30 17:23:43 +0530 Sonali Mane 7-IA-7569-2026.docx provisions of the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971. The learned Principal Judge, while partly allowing the Appeal has confirmed the order of eviction. However, so far as the aspect of arrears of rent is concerned, the learned Judge directed the Estate Officer to determine and decide the outstanding arrears of rent afresh. 2) In the present Petition, this Court has passed ad-interim order on 15 November 2019, which reads thus: Not on Board. Taken on board. [ 1. Heard Mr. P. N. Kulkarni, learned counsel for the Petitioner; and Mr. M. S. Bhardwaj, learned counsel for the Respondent. 2. Subject to deposit of Rs.10 Lakhs by the Petitioner before the Respondent with 7 days from today, eviction of the petitioner from the public premises under occupation of the petitioner shall not be carried out. 3. Stand over to 25 November, 2019, to be taken up on the supplementary board. 3) By subsequent order dated 27 November 2019 the time to deposit the amount of Rs.10,00,000/- was extended up to 6 December 2019. Petitioner has deposited the amount of Rs.10,00,000/-with the Respondent. During pendency of the present Petition, it appears that the Committee constituted for reconciliation of outstanding dues from the Petitioner has submitted a report dated 16 March 2026. As per the report of the Conciliation Committee, the total outstanding dues payable by the Petitioner have been determined at Rs.35,52,678/- as on 3 May 2018. As observed above, the Petitioner has already deposited an amount of Rs.10,00,000/- with the Respondent. The balance amount payable is Rs.35,52,678/-. ___Page No. 2 of 4 ___ 29 September 2026 Sonali Mane 7-IA-7569-2026.docx 4) Mr. Shetty, the learned Senior Advocate appearing for Petitioner, on instructions, submits that the balance amount of Rs.35,52,678/- shall be paid to the Respondent within a period of 8 weeks. Statement made is accepted as undertaking given to the Court. With the statement so made, the demand for arrears of rent as on 3 May 2018 of the Respondent would be met. 5) It is an undisputed position that, after 4 May 2018, the premises have been sealed by the Respondent and are not put to use by the Petitioner. Mr. Shetty invites the attention of this Court to a notice dated 11 March 2026, by which Respondent has ascertained further arrears of rent of Rs.92,88,821.47/- in respect of the period from 4 May 2018 onwards. Mr. Shah, the learned counsel appearing for Respondent, on instructions, submits that if the Petitioner makes payment of Rs.35,52,678/- as per the recommendations of the Committee, the Respondent shall not insist on payment of arrears of rent for the period from 4 May 2018 onwards. 6) Mr. Shah further submits that Petitioner needs to remove its machinery from the premises. Mr. Shetty submits that the Petitioner would require a time of one week for removal of machinery from the premises. 7) In view of the above consensus prevailing between the parties, I proceed to pass the following order: ___Page No. 3 of 4 ___ 29 September 2026 Sonali Mane 7-IA-7569-2026.docx ORDER i) The judgment and order dated 19 October 2019 passed by the City Civil Court in Miscellaneous Appeal No. 181 of 2018 is modified and it is directed that the total rent payable by the Petitioner for occupation of the premises up to 3 May 2018 shall be Rs.35,52,678/-. ii) Since the Petitioner has already paid an amount of Rs.10,00,000/- towards arrears of rent, it shall pay to the Respondent the balance amount of Rs.35,52,678/- within a period of 8 weeks. iii) The Petitioner shall not be liable to pay any rent in respect of the premises for the period after 4 May 2018. iv) The Respondent shall open the seal of the premises forthwith and shall make the premises accessible to the Petitioner for a period of one week solely for the purpose of removal of the machinery. Removal of machinery shall be carried out by the Petitioner strictly in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Respondent. 8) With the above directions, the Writ Petition is partly allowed and disposed of. In view disposal of Writ Petition, nothing would survive in the Interim Application and the same is also disposed of. [SANDEEP V. MARNE, J.] ___Page No. 4 of 4 ___ 29 September 2026
