JUSTICE DEEPAK GUPTA Present: Mr. Ivneet Singh Pabla, Advocate for the pe oner. Mr. Ni n Thatai, Advocate and Ms. Monika Thatai, Advocate for the respondents. **** DEEPAK GUPTA, J. (ORAL) In a pe on for ejectment under Sec on 13 of the Haryana Rent Act, 1973 filed by the landlord (respondents herein), the learned Rent Controller assessed the provisional rent by way of the impugned order dated 22.05.2026. 2. The said order has been assailed by the tenant (pe oner herein) before this Court by submi8ng that the rela onship of landlord and tenant between the par es was specifically denied and therefore, the Rent Controller was not jus fied in assessing the provisional rent. 3. A9er perusing the impugned order, this Court does not find merit in the conten on. 4. The landlord has placed on record not only a copy of registered sale deed in his favour regarding the premises, but even the rent deed dated 09.09.2020 executed by the tenant – pe oner herein. In these circumstances, the learned Rent Controller was jus fied in finding that, prima facie, there was a rela onship of landlord and tenant between the par es.

Faced with this situa on, learned counsel submits that in order to save himself from evic on, the pe oner has already tendered the amount as assessed by the Rent Controller, but the same has been paid to the respondents – landlords. Learned counsel submits that in case the pe oner succeeds in his defence, it will be difficult for him to get back his money and therefore, the amount should be directed to be converted into a FDR by the landlords. 6. Though, no formal no ce of mo on has been issued, but Sh.Ni n Thatai, Advocate, has put in appearance on behalf of the respondents and submits that they have already received the amount on 01.07.2026 and undertakes that in case, the pe oner herein succeeds in his defence, the respondents – landlords will be bound to refund the amount received by them to the pe oner. 7. In view of the above undertaking made on behalf of the respondents, the pe on stands disposed of, without any further direc ons. 21.07.2026 (DEEPAK GUPTA) Yogesh JUDGE Whether speaking/reasoned:- Yes/No Whether reportable:- Yes/No YOGESH MEHTA 2026.07.23 09:57 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
