¶23

On a perusal of the records before the Rent Control Court, it is seen that the petitioner filed an application to reject the plaint on the ground that there is no cause of action and that the landlord has no locus standi to file the

¶24

petition. It is also contended that the agreement dated 15.06.2020 is unregistered, and therefore the plaint filed based on the same, is liable to be rejected.

¶25

The learned counsel for the respondent submitted that there is no new

¶26

agreement at all and further contended that there are arrears of rent. He also stated that previously there existed a registered agreement.

¶27

Therefore, the reasons assigned by the learned trial Judge requires no interference. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed as devoid of merits. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed. No costs. Liberty is granted to the tenant.
