Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner.

The tenant-defendant in the suit for eviction is the petitioner in this application questioning the legal sustainability of the impugned order passed under Section 15 of the BBC Act.

The fact has not been disputed that the petitioner's claim for title over the suit land has been negatived up to this Court in separately instituted civil suit. The learned Court below has come to the finding that there is no explanation by the petitioner as to in what capacity the petitioner is continuing in occupation of the suit premises. The petitioner's case that the petitioner is in occupation as tenant on monthly rent of RS. 200/- has been accepted by the learned court below and, accordingly, direction under Section 15 of the BBC Act has been passed for payment of arrears of rent and current rent.
