HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SAURABH BANERJEE O R D E R % 15.09.2025
- There is no appearance on behalf of the petitioner.
- Learned counsel for the respondent reiterates his submissions made on the last date of hearing, i.e. 21.08.2025 that since the petitioner/ landlord has already taken possession of the subject premises on 05.06.2025, the present petition has become infructuous.
- As such, as also considering the dictum passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in N.C. Daga v. Inder Mohan Singh Rana [2003 (1) SCC 453 and Vinod Kumar Verma v. Manmohan Verma & Anr. [Civil Appeal Nos.5220-5221 of 2008 order dated 19.08.2008], the present petition is per se not maintainable.
