Heard the parties. 2. It is the grievance of the petitioners that by virtue of an ex-parte order the petitioner who happens to be tenant has been evicted from the premises and now since the ex-parte order is set aside, his possession be restored. 3. The petitioner after the ex-parte order of eviction, challenged the same before the Appellate Authority i.e., Deputy Commissioner. The Deputy Commissioner allowed the appeal, reviving the eviction suit. The revision application filed by the landlord, against the order of revivial, has also been rejected. In view of the aforesaid fact, the petitioner prays for restoration of his possession of the tenant in premises. 4. From the aforesaid admitted facts, it is clear that the 2026:JHHC:8302 2 eviction suit is pending for adjudication. The same has not yet been proceeded, may be on the ground that the petitioner already stood evicted. 5. Whether the petitioner needs to be evicted and whether the grounds are sufficient for eviction and whether the landlords has proved the grounds for eviction, needs to be decided in the proceeding which has been revived. Thus, I direct the respondent No. 5 to hear the parties and dispose of the eviction proceedings on merits within a period of four months from the date of receipt of the copy of this order. The actual eviction of the petitioner which has been effected will not come in the way of deciding the case on merit. After decision if it is found that the there are no grounds for eviction, the petitioner’s possession as tenant can be restored. 6. With the aforesaid observations, this writ petition stands disposed of. 7. Pending IA, if any also stands disposed. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 24.03.2026 Pawan/CP-2 Uploaded 01.04.2026
