3. That the brief facts which are necessary for adjudication of case are

being catalogued as under for the ready reference of this Hon’ble

Date Incident

respondent no. 2 disputing the dishonor of negotiable

instrument act. The copy of legal notice dated

06.09.2014 is being annexed herewith as Annexure P-

2. It is worth to point here that the notice allegedly

served upon petitioner upon two addresses. The details

of addresses are being reproduced as under for the

ready reference of this Hon’ble court: -

i) S.C.F. 27, Phase 5 S.A.S. Nagar Mohali

ii) 1030 Phase VII Mohali Punjab

30.09.2014 One complaint was made by respondent no. 2 alleging

Was agreed to make the payment to the tune of Rs.

15,00,000/- as well as register one shop in the name of

respondent no. 2. The copy of compromise dated

29.01.2019 is being annexed herewith as Annexure P-

4.

Under the impression that now the settlement has taken

place in between parties, the petitioner could not

appear before the court and started making efforts for

compliance of terms and conditions of settlement.

03.06.2019 Due to non-appearance, the court issued notice under

section 82 for proclamation requiring the appearance of

a person accused. The copy of notice dated 06.06.2019

is being annexed herewith as Annexure P-5. It is

relevant to mention here that notices were issued on

the address SCF 27 Phase VII SAS Nagar Mohali.

06.06.2019 The concerned official made the statement before

regrading affecting the proclamation. The court taken

into consideration the statement and passed the order.

The copy of order dated 06.06.2019 is being annexed

herewith as Annexure P-6.

4. That impugned order dated 05.07.2019 (Annexure P-1) passed by Ld.

Judicial Magistrate First Class District S.A.S. Nagar whereby the

petitioner has been declared “Absconder of law” including all the

subsequent proceedings arising out of it qua the petitioner liable to be

quashed inert alia on the grounds: -


-5-
i. Section 82 Cr.P.C. of the act is being reproduced as under for the

ready reference of this Hon’ble court: -

82. Proclamation for person absconding. - (1) If any Court has

reason to believe (whether after taking evidence or not) that any

person against whom a warrant has been issued by it has

absconded or is concealing himself so that such warrant cannot be

executed, such Court may publish a written proclamation

requiring him to appear at a specified place and at a specified time

not less than thirty days from the date of publishing such

proclamation.

(2) The proclamation shall be published as follows :-

(i) (a) it shall be publicly read in some conspicuous place of the

town or village in which such person ordinarily resides; (b) it shall

be affixed to some conspicuous part of the house or homestead in

which such person ordinarily resides or to some conspicuous place

of such town or village; (c) a copy thereof shall be affixed to some

conspicuous part of the court-house;

(ii) the Court may also, if it thinks fit, direct a copy of the

proclamation to be published in a daily newspaper circulating in

the place in which such person ordinarily resides.

(3) A statement in writing by the Court issuing the proclamation

to the effect that the proclamation was duly published on a

specified day, in the manner specified in clause (i) of sub-section

(2), shall be conclusive evidence that the requirements of this

Section have been complied with, and that the proclamation was

published on such day.

[(4) Where a proclamation published under sub-section (1) is in

respect of a person accused of an offence punishable under


-6-
Sections 302, 304, 364, 367, 382, 392, 393, 394, 395, 396, 397, 398,

399, 400, 402, 436, 449, 459, or 460 of the Indian Penal Code (45

of 1860), and such person fails to appear at the specified place and

time required by the proclamation, the Court may, after making

such inquiry as it thinks fit, pronounce him a proclaimed offender

and make a declaration to that effect.

(5) The provisions of sub-sections (2) and (3) shall apply to a

declaration made by the Court under sub-section (4) as they apply

to the proclamation published under sub-section (1).]

ii. From the bare perusal of Legal Notice dated 06.09.2014 it would

reveal that the notice was issued at two addresses. One was

mentioned as official and another was mentioned as residential

address. It is relevant to mention here that official address

pertains to phase 5 Mohali whereas from the perusal of order

dated 06.06.2019 the notice was issued on the address i.e.

located at Phase 7 Mohali. The official statement was recorded

by court in which he has stated that he went to house of accused

and searched him but he was not present there which is prima

facie defective service. So far as the address of petitioner is

concerned, he was not supposed to remain available at the

address qua which he has no relevance.

iii. Moreover, the given address S.C.F. 27 Phase 5 as mentioned the

legal notice, it is pointed out here that the said commercial

property was on rent with the petitioner which was got vacated

after dismissal of his appeal in the year 2016 itself. The copy of

Judgment dated 22.01.2016 is being annexed herewith as

Annexure P-7.
-7-
iv. Against the impugned order dated 05.07.2019, the petitioner

also preferred Revision petition bearing number 190 0f 2019

which is still pending and now fixed for 26.07.2021 before the

District and Sessions Courts S.A.S. Nagar. The copy of revision

petition dated 07.03.2019 is being annexed herewith as

Annexure P-8.

v. During the pendency of abovementioned petition before Session

Judge, S.A.S. Nagar the petitioner also file application for grant of

anticipatory bail in complaint no. 539/2014 which is also

pending before the District and Sessions Courts S.A.S. Nagar. The

copy of application dated 25.07.2019 is being annexed herewith

as Annexure P-9.

vi. The petitioner has already approached the respondent for

compliance of settlement dated 29.01.2019 whereby one notice

was served upon respondent no. 2 for execution and registration

of sale deed. The copy of legal notice dated 07.09.2019 is being

annexed herewith as Annexure P-10.

vii. That in the case of State of Haryana v. Chowdhry Bhajan Lal, AIR

1992 Supreme Court 604, the Apex Court having examined its

various pronouncements on the subject and the relevant

provisions of the Code, laid down the guidelines by way of

illustration wherein the extraordinary power under Article 226

of the Constitution or the inherent power under section 482 of

the Code could be exercised either to prevent abuse of the

process of any Court of otherwise to secure the ends of justice.

The guidelines by way of illustration given by the Apex Court are

extracted below :
-8-
1. Where the allegations made in the First Information

Report or the complaint, even if they are taken at their

face value and accepted in their entirety do not prima

facie constitute any offence or make out a case against

the accused.

2. Where the allegations in the First Information Report

and other materials, if any accompanying the FIR do not

disclose a cognizable offence, justifying an investigation

by police officers under Section 156(1) of the Code except

under an order of a Magistrate within the purview of

Section 155(2) of the Code.

3. Where the uncontroverted allegations made in the FIR or

complaint and the evidence collected in support of the

same do not disclose the commission of any offence and

make out a case against the accused.

4. Where the allegations in the FIR do not constitute a

cognizable offence but constitute only a non-cognizable

offence, no investigation is permitted by a police officer

without an order of a Magistrate as contemplated under

Section 155(2) of the Code.

5. Where the allegations made in the FIR or complaint are

so absurd and inherently improbable on the basis of

which no prudent person can ever reach a just conclusion

that there is sufficient ground for proceeding against the

accused.

6. Where there is an express legal bar engrafted in any of

the provisions of the Code or the concerned Act (under

which a criminal proceeding is instituted) to the


-9-
institution and continuance of the proceedings and/or

where there is a specific provision in the Code or the

concerned Act, providing efficacious redress for the

grievance of the aggrieved party.

7. Where a criminal proceeding is manifestly attended with

mala fide and/or where the proceeding is maliciously

instituted with an ulterior motive for wreaking

vengeance on the accused and with a view to spite him

due to private and personal grudge."

viii. The Apex Court has given a note of caution to the effect that the

power of quashing a criminal proceeding should be exercised

very sparingly and in the rarest of rare cases. It has been

observed by the Apex Court as follows: -

"We also give a note of caution to the effect that the power of

quashing a criminal proceeding should be exercised very sparingly

and with circumspection and that too in the rarest of rare cases;

that the Court will not be justified in embarking upon an enquiry

as to the reliability or genuineness or otherwise of the allegations

made in the F.I.R. or the complaint and that the extraordinary or

inherent powers do not confer any arbitrary jurisdiction on the

Court to act accordingly to its whim or caprice."

36. The above view of the Supreme Court has again been

reiterated in the case of M/s. Pepsi Foods Ltd. v. Special Judicial

Magistrate (supra); Roopan Deol Bajaj v. K.P.S. Gill (supra), Smt.

Rashmi Kumar v. Mahesh Kumar Bhada, 1997 SCC (Cri.) 415; and

Central Bureau of Investigation v. Duncan Agro Industries Ltd.,

1996 SCC (Cri.) 1045.


-10-
37. Thus, where the allegations made in the F.I.R. and on a

consideration of the relevant materials if the Court is satisfied that

an offence is disclosed, the Court normally will not interfere with

the investigation unless there is strong grounds or compelling

reasons requiring interference in the interest of justice. However,

upon consideration of relevant materials if the Court is satisfied

and no offence is disclosed, it will be the duty of the Court to

interfere with investigation so that the alleged accused may not be

unnecessarily subjected to harassment and humiliation.

5. That petitioner is 57 years old aged person and at this stage of life, his

health is not supporting him to face prosecution him.

6. That in such circumstances, the Petitioner has left with no other

efficacious alternative remedy except to approach this Hon’ble Court

by way of filing the present petition at this stage.

7. That no such or similar petition has earlier been filed in this Hon’ble

Court or in the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India. No such petition is

pending in the Court of Sessions or any other court.

It is, therefore, most respectfully prayed that in view of above

facts and circumstances, the present petition may kindly be accepted

and impugned order dated 05.07.2019 (Annexure P-1) passed by Ld.

Judicial Magistrate First Class District S.A.S. Nagar in Complaint

Number 539/2014 titled as “Rakesh Kumar Vs. Jaswinder Pal

Singh” whereby the petitioner has been declared “Absconder of law”

on the basis of defective & wrong service, may kindly be quashed.

It is further prayer that during the pendency of abovementioned

main petition before this Hon’ble court further proceeding before

learned trial court in the abovementioned case may kindly be stayed.


-11-
Any other order or direction which this Hon’ble court may deem

fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case, may also

issue.

It is further prayed that the petitioner may kindly be exempted

from filing certified/ true typed copies of annexure annexed herewith

petition and permitted to place on record the photocopy of same, in the

interest of justice.

It is further prayed that photocopy of the annexure annexed

herewith petition may kindly be permitted to place on record, in the

interest of justice.

...Respondent

Appeal against the order dated 23.7.2015 passed by the court of

Shri Shiv Mohan Garg, Rent Controller, SAS Nagar Mohali.

Present:

Sh. Ramjodh Singh Sarao Adv for appellant. Sh. Vivek Sharma

Adv for respondents.

JUDGMENT
This is a appeal by the tenant-appellant assailing ejectment

order dated 23.7.2015 passed by Shri Shiv Mohan Garg, Rent

Controller, SAS Nagar Mohali.

2. Facts as pleaded by petitioners-respondents Sheel Kaur and

Jaswant Kaur are that demised premises bearing SCF No.27 (ground
-37-
floor), Phase-5,(Sector 59), SAS Nagar Mohali was let out to

respondent-appellant at a monthly rent of 66,500/- per month

excluding water, electricity, sewerage and other charges. The rent was

to be paid on or before 7th of each month. Said accommodation was

rented out for office purpose only. Respondent is not a good tenant as

he regularly fails to pay rent to the petitioners in time. Respondent

paid the rent at the rate of 66,500/- per month up till March 2014 and

thereafter he stooped paying rent on false excuses. Now the

respondent is in arrears of rent since April 2014, hence an amount of

5,98,500/- is due and outstanding against the respondent up till

December 2014. Respondent is liable to be evicted from the demised

premises on the ground of respondent being in arrears of rent. Hence

the petition.

3. Upon notice respondent appeared and filed written reply

admitting factum of tenancy but submitted that respondent had paid

up to date rent to the petitioners till October 2014 and the respondent

is ready to pay the arrears of rent since November 2014 till date. Even

as per record maintained in the ledger book, respondent has already

paid rent up to October 2014 and arrears of rent which is due towards

respondent is about 4,71,450/- and the respondent is ready to pay the

same.

4. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, vide order dated

29.5.2015 interim assessment of rent was made by the learned Rent

Controller. For the sake of brevity the said order is reproduced below:-

"Arguments heard for the purpose of assessment of provisional rent.

The petitioners have stated that respondent is a tenant under the

petitioners since 1.12.2010 on the first floor of SCF No.27, Phase-5


-38-
Mohali and he has to pay the rent @ Rs.66,500/- from 1.4.2014 to

December 2014 and from 1.1.2015 to May 2015 @ Rs.73,205/- and

respondent is in arrears of rent from April 2014. Respondent while

filing the reply has admitted the tenancy and has not denied the rate of

rent. It is stated that he has paid the rent to the petitioners up to

October 2014 onwards. He has already paid t 1,00,000/- which was

paid in cash to the petitioners by respondent but petitioners refused to

give the receipt and he prayed that in the said circumstances

provisionally rent be not assessed. Heard. There is no receipt of

payment of rent by the respondent. However, respondent has placed

Annexure R-1 copy of the ledger but that said document is self created

document seems to be which cannot be taken into consideration at this

stage. So, I assess the provisional rent from April 2014 to December

2014 @ Rs.66500/- per month, total Rs.5,98,500/- and from January

2015 to May 2015 @ Rs.73205/- per month amounting to 3,66,025/-,

total amount Rs.9,64,525/-, interest @ 6% per annum amounting to

Rs.40,350/- and cost of Rs.1000/-, in all Rs.10,04,875/- is assessed. So

the respondent is directed to pay the same on or before 23.7.2015".

5. After assessing the rent sufficient time till 23.7.2015 was

afforded to make it convenient for the respondent- appellant to pay the

above assessed rent but despite availing time, respondent-appellant

failed to tender the rent and as such while relying upon judgment of

Hon'ble Apex Court in Rakesh Wadhawan & others vs M/S Jagdamba

Industrial Corporation and others, 2003(2) Civil Court Cases 361, an

ejectment order was passed.

6. Feeling aggrieved, the present appeal has been preferred by

appellant-respondent. When notice of the same was issued,


-39-
respondents-petitioners appeared through Shri Vivek Sharma Adv and

contested the appeal.

7. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and have also

gone have also gone through the evidence on record through the

impugned order under appeal.

8. Although learned counsel for the appellant-tenant has argued

that learned Rent Controller has assessed rent by overlooking the

provisions of Rent Act but learned counsel failed to elaborate his said

argument to make out as to what provision of law was violated while

assessing the rent. The fact that petitioners-land- ladies were yet to file

rejoinder to the written reply of the respondent- appellant in itself is

no ground for the Rent Controller not to assess the rent. In fact the law

does not provide filing/requiring of replications or rejoinders to the

pleadings. Thus, non-filing of rejoinder or replication in itself cannot

create a substantive right in favour of a respondent.

Learned counsel argued that appellant could not arrange

the above assessed rent which was beyond his reckoning and

estimation. As such he should have been provided further time by the

learned Rent Controller to make it convenient to arrange the rent.

Learned counsel submitted that on 23.7.2015 a request was made to

the learned Rent Controller to grant adjournment but no adjournment

was granted and consequently impugned order is harsh but perusal of

the summoned record does not reveal as if any such request may have

been made.

9. As regarding assessment of rent, in his written reply respondent

admitted the tenancy and has not denied the rate of rent but he has

stated that he has paid rent to the petitioners up to October 2014

onwards. He has already paid 1,00,000/- which was paid in cash to the
-40-
petitioners but they refused to give the receipt. As per admittance of

respondent in his written reply that the rate of rent is 66,500/-, hence

learned Rent Controller rightly took note of the monthly rent recorded

in it. As per basic law it is for a tenant to prove the payment of rent. His

mere pleadings that he had been paying rent but the landlord was not

issuing the receipts in itself cannot cut much ice especially when there

are so many other modes of depositing the rent. In his petition,

petitioners-landlords alleged that tenant-appellant were in arrears of

rent with effect from April 2014 to December 2014 @ Rs.66,500/- per

month, total Rs.5,98,500/- and from January 2015 to May 2015 @

Rs.73205/- amounting to Rs.3,66,025/- total amount Rs.9,64,525/-

,interest @ 6% per annum amounting to Rs.40,350/- and cost of

Rs.1000/-, in all Rs.10,04,875/- and learned Rent Controller has

assessed this rent because as per mandate of the Hon'ble Supreme

Court contained in Rakesh Wadhawan's case (supra) up to date rent is

to be assessed while making provisional assessment of -rent and

consequently I find no fault in the order dated 29.5.2015 assessing the

rent and requiring the appellant to pay it till 23.7.2015. In fact

sufficient time of more than one month was afforded to him to arrange

the rent. Learned Rent Controller after affording one opportunity to

make it convenient to make the rent could not have extended the time

further.

Our Hon'ble High Court in M/S S.Nihal Singh Motors & Ors. Vs

Shama Malhotra etc., 2004(3) Civil Colirt Cases 681 (P&H), has laid

down that if a tenant fails to comply with the order assessing

provisional rent, nothing more is required to be done by Rent

Controller and an order of ejectment must follow. While propounding

this law, our Hon'ble High Court heavily relied upon observations of
-41-
the Hon'ble Apex Court contained in celebrated judgment of Rakesh

Wadhawan's case (supra).

10. As such finding no merit, the appeal is dismissed with costs.

memo of costs be prepared. Lower court record be sent back forthwith.

Appeal file be consigned to the record room.

Pronounced in open Court.
