V.Balakrishnan vs R.Sai Kumari on 12 June, 2012
26. It could be seen from Ex.P3 that the Revision Petitioner (third party) was only a sub-tenant for management under the chief tenant viz., the Judgment Debtor in the E.P. Proceedings. It is a settled law that any order passed against the chief tenant would bind against the sub-tenant also. The eviction order passed by the learned Rent Controller was not challenged and no stay has been granted by the Appellate Forum and it became final. It is already found that the Execution Proceedings taken against the Judgment Debtor will not be affected by any subsequent proceedings taken by the Revision Petitioner i.e., in O.S.No.6671 of 2009 on the file of the I Assistant City Civil Court, Chennai. Even though the temporary injunction order was passed by the said court, after hearing both parties, it is clearly a subsequent proceedings and it would not over ride the Execution Proceedings, which was already filed and pending, as per the judgment reported in 2009 (3) MLJ 1373 (SC) (Bhaskaran ..vs.. Sheela). Therefore, I could see that the courts below have categorically come to a correct conclusion that the Revision Petitioner has not established the jural relationship of tenant, but on the other hand, he was an obstructor / sub-tenant without any just cause and he was instigated by the Judgment Debtor and therefore, such obstruction has to be removed which are found to be in order. Therefore, I find no reasons to interfere with the order of the learned Rent Control Appellate Authority in confirming the order passed in the petition for removal of obstruction in favour of the Decree Holder and accordingly, I am inclined to dismiss the revision after confirming the orders passed by the courts below.
