Hon'ble J.J. Munir,J.
Heard Mr. Vaibhav Dixit, learned Counsel for the petitioner in support of this petition.
Perused the report submitted by the Additional District Judge, Court no.26, Kanpur Nagar. The report does not make a very impressive reading. Nevertheless, this Court is of opinion that proceedings of the aforesaid rent appeal are required to be expedited. Rent control matters, arising from proceedings under Section 21(1)(a) of the U.P. Act no.13 of 1972, are designed to bring prompt relief to the landlord, if he is entitled on the ground of bona fide need. Whichever way the cause is to be decided, it has to be dealt with swiftly.
In the circumstances, the Additional District Judge, Court no.26, Kanpur Nagar is directed to dispose of Rent Appeal No.45 of 2021, Dr. Meera Agnihotri vs. Smt. Sushila Srivastava within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, fixing at least one date every week. It is made clear that hearing of the appeal shall not be adjourned on account of any resolution of the local Bar. The learned Counsel, appearing in this appeal, shall appear and assist the Court concerned, irrespective of any resolution of the local Bar. The District Judge, Kanpur Nagar shall ensure that the learned Counsel, appearing in this appeal, are not hindered by the Bar in discharge of their functions.
This petition is disposed of in terms of the above orders.
Let this order be communicated to the Additional District Judge, Court no.26, Kanpur Nagar through learned District Judge, Kanpur Nagar and the District Judge, Kanpur Nagar himself by the Registrar (Compliance) 48 hours.
