HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ALLAHABAD

 Court no. 7                                                        

           Civil Misc. Writ Petition No. 28316 of 2002

                Kalwa                      versus      Chandru Singh

Hon'ble Rakesh Tiwari,J.

  Heard counsel for the parties and perused the record.

  The petitioner is tenant of the disputed accommodation consisting of two rooms situate in village Lakhiwala, Pargana Daranagar Tehsil and District Bijnor on monthly rent of Rs. 100/-.

The counsel for respondent-landlord submits that the rent of the disputed accommodation is too low in the present scenario. He prays that in the circumstances the rent of the disputed accommodation may be increased suitably.

The counsel for the petitioner-tenant submits that in case the petitioner is evicted from the disputed accommodation he will suffer irreparable loss and injury and case for enhancement of the rent may be considered.

The rent of Rs. 100/- per month in respect of the aforesaid accommodation in question appears to be inadequate rent for the accommodation in dispute.  A pragmatic approach has to be taken considering the location and rate of rent prevailing in the locality etc. With passage of time value of house rent has increased and as such it has to be proportionately increased in addition to notional increase of 10% in rent every 5 years as provided under Act No. XIII of 1972.

  It is not the case of the tenant that no accommodation is available to him on rent per contra his case is that no accommodation is available on the rent, which he is paying at present to the landlord.

 The writ Court can enhance the rent to a reasonable extent as has been held in Rajeshwari  (Smt.) Vs. Smt. Prema Agarwal, 2005(1) ARC-526, Hari Mohan Kichlu Vs. VIIIth A.D.J. Muzaffarnagar and others, 2004 (2) ARC-652 and Khurshida Vs. A.D.J. 2004(2) ARC-64.

   Taking a pragmatic approach, considering the facts and circumstances of the case and location/area of the accommodation/shop etc. it would be appropriate that the rent of the disputed accommodation now be increased to Rs. 1000/- per month from November, 2006 payable by 7th December, 2006.

It is accordingly directed that the tenant shall pay a sum of Rs. 1000/- per month towards rent to the landlord till further orders which shall be payable to the landlord thereafter by 7th day of each succeeding month. The rent fixed by this Court shall be increased 10% every 5 years till further orders according to the provisions of the Act.

In case of default in payment of the arrears of rent, if any and current rent as directed by this Court the landlord can get the disputed accommodation vacated with the help of police within a period of one month by giving notice in writing.

List in the month of April, 2007
