¶23

(1). This order shall dispose of Civil Revision No.6101 & 6102 of 2009 as both the petitions are directed against the orders dated 08.09.2009 passed by the Rent Controller, Pathankot assessing the provisional rent at the rate of Rs.850/- each per month in respect of two shops let out to the petitioners and further directing the petitioner-tenants to tender the arrears of rent w.e.f. January, 2005 along with interest @ 6% per annum and costs.

¶24

(2). Petitioner’s grievances are two-fold. Firstly, it is urged that the rate of rent is Rs.600/- per month and, secondly, the rent has been allegedly paid upto October, 2008.

¶27

(3). Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners at some length, I do not find any merit in the revision petitions.

¶28

(4).

¶29

The rate of rent has been assessed by the Rent Controller on provisional basis and it will be open to the petitioners to prove that the rent is only Rs.600/- per month. Similarly, in the absence of any rent receipts etc. the petitioner will have to lead some cogent evidence to show that the rent upto October 2008 has already been paid. Suffice it to say that, it is only after the evidence is led that the Rent Controller can arrive at a definite conclusion. If it is found that the petitioners have been made to pay excess or double rent for the same period, the petitioners shall be entitled to adjustment of such excess rent against the future rent or its refund.

¶30

(5). No interference with the impugned orders dated 08.09.2009 passed by the Rent Controller, at this stage, is called for.

¶31

(6). Disposed of.
