"I, Sri Manu C, S/o Late C. Channappa, aged major, residing at No.2255, 22nd Cross, Banashankari 2nd Stage, Bangalore -560 070, do hereby solemnly affirm and state on oath as follows:-
1. I am the appellant No.2 in the above appeal. I know the facts of the above appeal. I have been authorized by the appellant No.1 to swear to this Affidavit. I am competent to swear to this Affidavit.4
2. I state that the above appeal is filed against the judgment and decree dated 13/03/2013 passed by the Hon'ble 45th Additional City Civil & Sessions Judge, at Bangalore in O.S.No.2270/200, directing the Appellants to quit and deliver the vacant possession of the suit schedule property to the respondent No.1 and also awarded damages against us.
3. I state that on 23.11.2022, after hearing the matter, this Hon'ble Court was pleased to allow the Appellants to be in possession of the Plaint schedule property till 31.12.2023 subject to filing an affidavit to that effect. Accordingly, I am filing this affidavit.
4. 1 submit that the appellants would voluntarily handover vacant possession of the plaint schedule property comprising of ground floor measuring 450 Sq.ft.. first floor measuring 600 Sq.ft., second floor measuring 600 Sq.ft., and third floor measuring 150 Sq.ft. to the respondents on 1.1.2024 without driving the respondents to file execution petition to execute judgement and decree dated 13.3.2013 passed in O.S.No.2270/2007 by the 45th Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge, Bangalore.
5. I state that I would continue to pay the agreed rent of Rs.2,000/- per month to the respondents without fail.5
6. I submit that the appellants undertake that I will not sublet the plaint schedule property to any third parties.
7. I Sri. Manu C, the Appellant No.2 herein do hereby state and verify that what is stated above is true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information and belief."
2. Present appeal is directed against the judgment and decree passed in O.S.No.2270/2007 dated 13.03.2013, whereby the suit of the plaintiff came to be decreed and the defendants are ordered to vacate and hand over the suit property.
3. After hearing the present appeal on merits for some time, appellants have chosen to file the aforesaid affidavit.
4. Taking note of the fact that the appellants were carrying business in the suit property and also to accommodate alternate arrangements, this Court is of the considered opinion that granting time for the appellants till end of 2023 would be reasonable.
6
Accordingly, following order is passed:
ORDER Appeal is dismissed.
However, time is granted for the appellants/defendants to vacate and hand over the suit schedule property on or before 31.12.2023.
It is made clear that appellants are continued to pay the rent as and when it accrues and shall not in any way damage the suit schedule property.
They must also voluntarily vacate and hand over the possession of the suit property on or before 31.12.2023.
Non payment of rent for any single month should entitle the respondents to execute the decree passed by the Trial Court and the concession shown by this Court in granting the time would not be available to the appellants.
