JUDGMENT Gurusharan Sharma, J. 1. The opposite party filed Eviction Suit No. 8 of 1998 against the petitioner under Section 14 of the Bihar Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act. 1982, which has been decreed by impugned order dated 28.6.1999. 2. According to the opposite party, on 1.10.1988, the petitioner was inducted as tenant for a fixed period of ten years ending on 30.9.1998 in the suit premises, detailed in Schedule A to the plaint. The premises contained c ,e room of Holding No. 4, under Ward No. 12 of Jhumri Tilaiya Municipality. 3. After expiry of the tenancy period, the suit was filed for eviction both under Section 11(l)(c) and (e) of the said Act. 4. Inspite of service of summons, petitioner did not appear to contest the suit. It was fixed for ex parte hearing on 10.3.1999. 5. The opposite party examined two witnesses on 10.3.1999. Plaintiff examined himself and his son as PWs 1 and 2 and produced registered Kirayanama dated 28.9.1988 (Exhibit 1) counter-foil of receipts showing payment of rent (Exhibits 2 series), registration receipt (Exhibit 3) A/D (Exhibit 5) and signature of the petitioner on the said A/D (Exhibit 4). 6. The suit was fixed for argument on 16.3.1999. The petitioner appeared on 16.3.1999 and filed an affidavit for granting leave to contest the suit under Section 14(4) of the Act. 7. By order dated 24.3.1999, petitioners prayer was rejected on the ground that the prayer for granting leave was made after conclusion of exports hearing, when the suit was fixed for hearing argument. 8. The petitioner filed Civil Revision No. 139 of 1999 (R) against the said order dated 24.3.1999 in this Court, which was, ultimately, dismissed as withdrawn on 3.2.2000. Meanwhile, since there was no interim order passed by this Court, during pendency of the aforesaid Civil Revision application, the suit proceeded, plaintiffs argument was heard and by impugned judgment dated 28.6.1999, the suit was decreed. 9. Plaintiff besides eviction on expiry of fixed term of tenancy also required the suit premises for his personal use and occupation to start a hotel business by his son. 10. Exhibit 1 (registered deed of lease) was in respect of fixed period of ten years. Exhibit 2 series proved that petitioner was paying rent and his signatures were found on the counter foils of the receipts granted for payment of rent.
10. Exhibit 1 (registered deed of lease) was in respect of fixed period of ten years. Exhibit 2 series proved that petitioner was paying rent and his signatures were found on the counter foils of the receipts granted for payment of rent. Exhibits 3, 4 and 5 show that registered notice to vacate the premises was given by opposite party and was served on the petitioner. 11. It was, therefore, established that the tenancy in question was for a fixed period of ten years, for which a registered lease was executed on 28.9.1988, which expired on 30.9.1998. 12. In the aforesaid circumstance, I find no reason to interfere with the impugned judgment and decree in this Revision application. 13. In the result, this Revision application is dismissed, but without costs. Let the lower Court records be sent down immediately to the court concerned. 14. Revision dismissed.
