The learned counsel Mr. Salil Trivedi on behalf of Mr. Sajjan Singh appearing for the appellant-plaintiff submitted that the defendant-respondent No. 1-Kashiram and the respondent-defendant No. 2-Dhuraram are the real brothers being the sons of Ladhuram. The suit shop in question was taken by the defendant No. 2-Dhuraram for few months and, therefore, in fact, the defendant No. 2-Dhuraram is the tenant of the plaintiff Smt. Shanta. It is also submitted that the possession of the suit shop was handed over to the landlady-Smt. Shanta and thereafter, the defendant No. 1-Kashiram forcibly entered into the shop (No.24) in question which is situated at Jai Narayan Vyas Nagar, Bikaner which was earlier taken by the plaintiff from the Urban Improvement Trust, Bikaner on lease. The learned counsel also submitted that the rent of the suit shop deposited under Section 19(1) of the Rajasthan Premises (Control & Eviction) Act, 1950 by the defendant No. 2 has wrongly been construed by the learned Trial Court and, therefore, the learned Trial Court has erred in finding that there was the relationship of landlady-tenant qua the defendant No. 1- Kashiram and for this reason, the suit filed by the plaintiff-Smt. Shanta had been dismissed. 4. The learned counsel submitted that the other ground taken by the learned Trial Court for rejecting the suit of the plaintiff was that the suit filed by the defendant No. 1-Kashiram for injunction against the plaintiff-Smt. Shanta was decreed in the manner that she may not dispossess the defendant No. 1- Kashiram without taking the due process of law and the suit was decreed in favour of the defendant No. 1-Kashiram on the ground that the present plaintiff-Smt. Shanta agreed to take the due process of law for eviction which was undertaken by her in the form of filing of the present suit but even this present suit had been dismissed by the learned Trial Court. Hence, the present first appeal has been filed by the plaintiff-Smt. Shanta. 5. Neither anybody is present on behalf of the defendants-respondents despite service of the notices nor both the brothers, the defendants are present in the Court. 6. Hence, the present first appeal has been filed by the plaintiff-Smt. Shanta. 5. Neither anybody is present on behalf of the defendants-respondents despite service of the notices nor both the brothers, the defendants are present in the Court. 6. Having heard the learned counsel for the appellant-plaintiff Smt. Shanta and upon perusal of the record of the case, this Court is of the opinion that it appears that both the defendants-respondents are hands-in-glove and to defeat the due process of law undertaken by the plaintiff-appellant-Smt. Shanta, it appears that they have adopted this method. It is noticed that the present suit for possession filed by the plaintiff against the defendant No. 1-Kashiram was with the plaint averments that he was not the tenant of the plaintiff but was a trespasser in the suit shop and, therefore, apparently mere deposit of rent in the Court by the defendant No. 1-Kashiram under Section 19(1) of the Act of 1950 did not make him the tenant of the plaintiff-appellant-Smt. Shanta. It is also noticed that there was no rent receipt in favour of the defendant No. 1- Kashiram issued by the plaintiff-appellant-Smt. Shanta in this regard. 7. In view of the discussion made herein above, the present appeal deserves to be allowed and the suit filed by the plaintiff-appellant Smt. Shanta deserves to be tried on its own merits, as the learned Trial Court has erred in dismissing the suit by the impugned judgment dated 18.07.2009. 8. Accordingly and in view of the above, the present first appeal filed by the appellant-plaintiff-Smt. Shanta W/o late Dr. Hemchand Saxena is allowed. The impugned judgment dated 18.07.2009 is set aside; and the trial of the suit is restored at the stage of arguments, since the evidence of both the parties is said to have been completed. In view of the fact that the present suit is of the year 1995, therefore, the learned Trial Court is requested to expedite the trial of the suit and conclude the same, preferably within a period of six months from today. The parties may appear in the first instance before the learned Trial Court on 17.11.2015. No costs. A copy of this order be sent to the learned Trial Court concerned and to the parties concerned forthwith.Appeal Allowed. *******
