of the Rent Control Petition. We are afraid, the principles laid down by the Apex Court in K.K.Chari (supra) cannot be applied to the case on hand. The instant case is not one where an order of eviction is passed. All that has happened in the instant case is that the landlords had come to an arrangement out of court with the alleged sub-tenant, who, according to the petitioner, is his partner and recognised her as the tenant, executed necessary documents and stated that they are not desirous of prosecuting the Rent Control Petition. In the light of the said statement, the Rent Control Court could not have proceeded to try and dispose of the Rent Control Petition. It could not have also proceeded to enquire into and adjudicate upon the disputes inter se between the petitioner on the one hand and his partner on the other, which, as stated earlier, is the subject matter of two suits, viz., O.S.No.180 of 2015 and O.S.No.249 of 2017 presently pending in the Court of the Munsiff of Kozhikode. Further, as noticed by the learned Rent Control Court, the order dismissing the Rent Control Petition cannot be said to be an order prejudicial to the interest of the petitioner. It is stated in Ext.P3 joint statement that in view of the developments referred to therein it is not necessary to prosecute R.C.P. No.30 of 2013
