Act No. 13 of 1972 and the order dated 12-4-2001 passed by the appellate authority. 3. The landlord has submitted an application for release of the premises on the ground of bona fide need in the year 1999. During the pendency of the release application, the interim order was passed. 4. The petitioner has challenged the order mainly on the ground that provisions Order (sic) Rule 9, CPC are not applicable in the proceedings under U. P. Act No. 13 of 1972, as such the learned Courts below have no jurisdic tion to allow the application filed by the contesting landlord. 5. As per the judgments reported in the cases of Kishan Dass v.
