case because the respondent did not appear before this court,
therefore, eviction order u/s 14 (1) (a) of DRC Act cannot be passed
straight away without affording the opportunity to the respondent to
the benefit of section 14 (2) of DRC Act. The present case has been
filed on 17.01.2018. The petitioners are entitled to legally recover
rent from the respondent for a period of three years prior to filing of
the present case. Accordingly, an order u/s 15(1) of DRC Act is
