JUDGMENT : Rakesh Tiwari, J. Heard counsel for the parties and perused the record. 2. This writ petition has been filed for quashing the order dated 4.9.2006, passed by the Additional District Judge, Court No. 2, Rampur in Rent Appeal No. 5 of 2006 whereby she set aside the judgment and order dated 13.5.2005 in P.A. Case No. 10 of 2003 passed by the Prescribed Authority/ Civil Judge (Senior Division), Rampur rejecting the release application of the respondents landlord. 3. Briefly stated the facts of the case are that the respondents landlord filed P. A. Case No. 10 of 2003 against the petitioner tenant for release of the shop in dispute situate in Mohalla Domahla Road, Kooncha Nalbbendan, City District Rampur on the ground that two sons of respondents were out of employment ; that the landlords wanted to settle them in the business of general merchant and cold drink in the shop in dispute for which they bona fide required the shop in dispute for their need.' It was further pleaded in the application that the petitioner is a rich person and is tenant of their brother Aijaz Hussain Shamsi in another shop at the rate of Rs. 600 per month in Mohalla Domahla Road and that he has let out his own shop in Mohalla Domhla Road to one Ahmad Nabi Carpenter, hence the petitioner has alternative shop for his business which he had acquired in vacant state. 4. The petitioner contested the release application by filing a written statement that the need of the landlords is not bona fide and genuine ; that both sons of the respondents are minors and are persuing their higher studies and are not interested in doing business ; that respondent No. 1 has got his own flourishing business of Ready Made Garments in Bazar Maston Ganj whereas respondent No. 2 has also got a big business of cloths ; that both the sons can easily be adjusted if they want to engage in business ; and that if the release application is allowed, the petitioner will suffer greater hardship. 5.
5. The Prescribed Authority after considering the entire evidence on record by judgment and order dated 13.5.2005 rejected the release application of the respondents landlord holding that the need of the landlords is not bona fide and that the respondents are running a flourishing business ; that they have got another house behind the shop in dispute which is on the road and the landlords can settle their sons with him in business. The Prescribed Authority further held that the petitioner has got no other shops as the shop of Aijaz Hussain is in the tenancy of petitioner's son ; that the landlords have recently constructed 3 shops in which they can settle their sons but instead they have let out the same to others on rent and that the release application is tainted with mala fide as the respondents wanted to enhance the rent. 6. Aggrieved by the aforesaid order dated 13.5.2005 the respondents filed Rent Appeal No. 5 of 2006 before the appellate court which was allowed vide order dated 4.9.2006 holding the bona fide need and comparative hardship in favour of the landlords, hence this writ petition by the petitioner. 7. The counsel for the petitioner submits that the findings recorded by the Prescribed Authority in respect of comparative hardship have not been set aside by the appellate court ; that it has wrongly presumed that the sons of the petitioner are doing their own separate business in their building whereas they are doing separate business in the tenanted building not available to the petitioner who is their father ; that the shop/store room in the Masjid which has been given in the tenancy of the petitioner has been given back of the waqf after payment of full rent as such the appellate court has wrongly held that the aforesaid store room/shop is in possession of the petitioner. 8. It is further submitted that the landlords have concealed the fact that they have another plot in their possession near the disputed shop ; that the landlords have constructed three shops before filing the release application which have been let out on rent by them as such the need of the landlords is not bona fide and genuine and if they needed the same, they would not have let out the three shops on rent.
It is lastly submitted that if the landlords wanted to settle their sons in the business of general merchant they have their own two shops in which they are doing the business of cloth merchant and their sons are assisting them in the business of cloth merchant, hence they do not require any shop for their two sons for business of general merchant. 9. Sri M. A. Qadeer, counsel for the petitioner placing reliance upon the operative portion of the judgment and order of the appellate court dated 4.9.2006 and the map appended with the report of the Advocate Commissioner submits that the two sons of the respondents can do their business in the shop after petitioner having a door in the gali. He further submits that the appellate court has wrongly passed the order directing the petitioner to construct his shop on the plot which he has purchased and thereafter vacate the disputed shop and for payment of Rs. 300 as damages for use and occupation. 10. On the other hand, the contention of the counsel for the respondents is that the petitioner tenant has his own five shops, which is evident from record. Relying upon Annexure-CA-1, i.e., reply of notice dated 22.9.2001 paper No. 31C, filed before the court below he submits that the shops of the respondents brothers viz., Aijaz Hussain is in the tenancy of petitioner and he permitted his sons to do business and that the shop of Aijaz Hussain is under his tenancy ; that he is having a shop in Masjid in Mohalla Gher Ghulam Nasir Khan ; that he purchased a shop of Municipal Board, Rampur in Mohalla Pan Dariba ; that the tenant is also having share in the shop situated at bazar Safdarganj and that in the notice dated 22.9.2001 he concealed the fact that he also has a plot in his name at Shahabad Road, Ajitpur, Rampur about a km. from the station. 11.
from the station. 11. He has further urged that the petitioner has filed incorrect affidavit before the Court which has been replied by the respondents by filing affidavits 42C and 45C that the petitioner has as many as four shops under his possession ; that in the shop in dispute he is doing business, in the shop of Aijaz Hussain his sons are doing business, in the shop of Pan Dariba purchased from Municipal Board, Rampur his sons are using it as godown for business of salt and in the shop situated at Mohalla Safdarganj his nephew Tanvir Ahmad is doing business ; that the petitioner purchased two plots, one in the name of his son and wife and another in his own name in Civil Lines, area at a distance of 1 km. from Railway Station, Rampur and over the plots purchased in the name of his wife and son shops and godowns were constructed and are under the possession of the petitioner's son and wife and they are doing business of cement in those godowns also. 12. It is next submitted that the petitioner is telling a lie since from beginning. Earlier he denied his properties at Ajitpur and tried to mislead the Court by filing fake affidavits. The facts according to the counsel for the petitioner is clearly established from the affidavit filed by respondent No. 1 (paper No. 64C), as such the Prescribed Authority has not applied his judicious mind and has illegally rejected the release application. 13. He also submits that the Prescribed Authority has failed to consider this aspect of the matter that the petitioner's sons are doing business from the age of 20 years and has not considered the entire evidence on record and has given perverse findings on face of record illegally dismissing the release application filed by the respondents ; that the appellate court after considering the entire evidence on record rightly allowed the appeal as well as the release application. It is stated that the findings recorded by the appellate court are just and proper and based on evidence ; and that has considered each and every aspect of the matter of evidence before recording the findings. 14.
It is stated that the findings recorded by the appellate court are just and proper and based on evidence ; and that has considered each and every aspect of the matter of evidence before recording the findings. 14. The counsel for the petitioner further submits that as regards the shop in the Masjid under the tenancy of the petitioner is concerned, the petitioner has filed a false certificate that he has surrendered the tenancy right only to give colour to the present case. 15. It is stated that the shop situated in Mohalla Gher Ghulam Nasir Khan was under the tenancy of the petitioner which he purchased from the erstwhile landlord in his name, his wife's name and in the name of his nephew in equal share but he permitted his nephew to do business in that shop. In fact the petitioner was tenant in the shop and he is co-sharer of 2/3 part in that shop and that the petitioner has himself admitted that shop at Pan Dariba was purchased in his name from Municipal Board, Rampur and he permitted his sons Faiz Ahmad and Faraz Ahmad to do business of salt from that shop. 16. It is lastly submitted that it is not possible for the respondents to do business by partition of a small portion of the shop triangular in shape in which slab exists at a height of about 7ft. and the release of entire shop is just and proper ; that the judgment and order of the appellate court is based on correct appreciation of facts and evidence ; that the petitioner is a multi millionaire, having a number of shops in his possession and in the possession of his sons. The family of the petitioner is joint family and he can easily get a shop in Civil Lines, Rampur ; and that the petitioner has falsely stated that the shop situated at Ajitpur is situated at a distance of 7 kms. whereas these shops and plots in his possession there are about at a distance of 1 km. from the Railway Station, Rampur and Civil Lines, Rampur, hence the petitioner is not entitled to get any relief from this Court. 17.
whereas these shops and plots in his possession there are about at a distance of 1 km. from the Railway Station, Rampur and Civil Lines, Rampur, hence the petitioner is not entitled to get any relief from this Court. 17. It appears that the Prescribed Authority rejected the release application of the respondents landlord only on the ground that the sons of the respondents were minor aged about 20 years, hence in the opinion of the Authority they could not do business whereas the Prescribed Authority has failed to take into consideration that sons of the petitioner tenant were also aged about 20 years and were minors yet they were doing separate business. The aspect regarding number of the shops in possession of the petitioner as well as in possession of the landlords have been considered by the appellate court in its judgment dated 4.9.2006.

It may also be noted that the judgment of the appellate court is based on own admission of the petitioner wherein he has stated that the godown has been constructed by him and is in a vacant state which is about 1 km. from the Railway Station. One of the shops acquired by the petitioner is being used by his sons for storing salt. The godown can also be used for storing salt and business. Thus, it appears from the record that the Prescribed Authority has given the judgment on irrelevant consideration. The sons of the respondents have also grown up even then they are staying with their father and are doing business of cloth merchant with him as no shop was available to them. This would not go against them for the very reason that the sons of the petitioner tenant who were also of the same age are doing independent business. It is settled law that every adult member of the landlord's family has right to do independent business. The petitioner is multi millionaire and has got many shops in his possession and in the possession of his wife and sons as well as on rent. He will therefore, face no hardship in shifting his business in one of the shops which is being used by him for storing salt which is 1 km. from the Railway Station in Civil Lines, Rampur. 19. The contention of the counsel for the petitioner that the findings of the Prescribed Authority have not been considered by the appellate court is incorrect. The appellate court has rightly directed the petitioner to remove his assets from the disputed shop and shift the same in the godown constructed by him or in any other shop, which is in his possession. The appellate court has also considered the question of bona fide need and comparative hardship in detail as is apparent from the extract of the Judgment of the appellate court quoted in the body of this judgment. In so far as surrendering of the shop in Masjid to waqf is concerned, it is apparent that this plea is not convincing as he did not even pay Rs. 40 as rent of the shop.
In so far as surrendering of the shop in Masjid to waqf is concerned, it is apparent that this plea is not convincing as he did not even pay Rs. 40 as rent of the shop. In so far as the shops constructed by the landlords are concerned it may be that the shops were not needed by him at that time and another plot might have been in the possession of the landlords but the question whether it is available to them. The petitioner has nowhere stated that any shop was available to the landlords for doing business when he filed release application. Even if the landlords was having 5 shops and had given the same on rent earlier, the tenant cannot question the need of the landlords on ground which arose subsequently. 20. The petitioner has got a number of shops and plot in his possession, hence, the same theory which is applying on the landlord for denying the bona fide need and comparative hardship similarly applies to him also like a two eged sword. 21. Once the tenant or any member of his family acquires the shop in a vacant state which in the instant case the tenant has acquired a shop, he has no right to keep the shop of the landlords in his possession. The landlords have every right to settle their sons in business in the disputed shop. 22. In Banshidhar v. Illrd Additional District Judge, Aligarh 2000 (2) ARC 808 Dwarika Nath Soni v. Bhagwan Das Gupta 2005 (2) ARC 739 Dwarika Nath Soni Vs. Bhagwan Dass Gupta, (2006) 1 AWC 590 , and Smt. Raj Kumari Vs. IInd A.D.J. and Others, (2006) 4 AWC 3383 , this Court has held that every adult member of landlord/landlady has right to settle down in independent business and such need of the landlord cannot be rejected on the ground that the same is not bona fide. 23.
Bhagwan Dass Gupta, (2006) 1 AWC 590 , and Smt. Raj Kumari Vs. IInd A.D.J. and Others, (2006) 4 AWC 3383 , this Court has held that every adult member of landlord/landlady has right to settle down in independent business and such need of the landlord cannot be rejected on the ground that the same is not bona fide. 23. The admitted fact is that the tenant has his own shop and he has also alternative shops and plots in his possession on which he can build shops according to his need being a multi millionaire, hence in view of Explanation (i) to Section 21(1)(a) of U.P. Act No. XIII of 1972, which provides that if any of member of tenant's family has acquired an alternate accommodation, the tenant cannot contest the claim of need of the landlord on the ground that there is no bona fide need of the landlord. Explanation (i) to Section 21(1) of the Act No. XIII of 1972 as under automatically applies to the facts of the instant case: Explanation.-In the case of a residential building: (i) where the tenant or any member of his family who has been normally residing with him or is wholly dependent on him has built or has otherwise acquired in a vacant state or has got vacated after acquisition a residential building in the same city, municipality, notified area or town area, no objection by the tenant against an application under this sub-section shall be entertained. 24. For the reasons stated above, in my opinion, the approach of the Prescribed Authority is not correct and the Prescribed Authority has committed a gross illegality in rejecting the release application of the landlords. 25. Admittedly, the tenant has his own shop and has also got an alternative. The findings of the Prescribed Authority that the bona fide need and comparative hardship of the tenant are greater than the respondents landlord are against the evidence on record and are not sustainable. 26. In the circumstance, the appellate authority has rightly allowed the appeal of the respondents as well as the release application on the ground that comparative hardship is greater in favour of the landlords. 27. Since the petitioner has retained the shop in dispute of the landlord inspite of having his own shop, alternative shops and plots in his possession on which he can build shops according to his need. 28.
27. Since the petitioner has retained the shop in dispute of the landlord inspite of having his own shop, alternative shops and plots in his possession on which he can build shops according to his need. 28. All these facts lead to establish that the petitioner tenant has neither come with clean hands before this Court nor with bona fide intention and he is only litigating with mala fide intention and ulterior motives, hence he is liable to be awarded with a deterrent and exemplary costs in view of Hon'ble Supreme Court decision rendered in Salem Advocate Bar Association, Tamil Nadu Vs. Union of India (UOI), (2005) 6 SCC 344 , Cost is assessed at Rs. 10,000 on the petitioner tenant. 29. For the reasons stated above, the writ petition is dismissed with costs of Rs. 10,000. The petitioner tenant shall deposit the costs of Rs. 10,000 in the trial court within one month from today. The amount of costs so deposited by the petitioner may be withdrawn by the landlords within two months thereafter without furnishing any security. In case the petitioner does not deposit the aforesaid amount of Rs. 10,000 within two months from today, the amount shall be recovered as arrears of land revenue within one month thereafter.
