How did Dhani Ram's cunningness come to light?
Answers
Dhani Ram, opposite party No. 1, is alleged to be the owner of a pucca house appertaining to Holding No, 38 in Ward No. 24 of Cuttack Municipality. The ground floor of that building has got two units. A pucca wall separates these two units and divides the well lying at the centre into two halves. These halves, therefore, can conveniently be described as 'eastern part' and 'western part'. The western part is cross marked in red ink and that is the property from which eviction was sought for by Dhani Ram (opp. party No. 1) of the two tenant-petitioners. The case was numbered as House Rent Control Case No. 37 of 1976. Admittedly, the petitioners had been inducted by Dhani Ram as tenants as early as in 1958. Dhani Ram (opposite party No. 1) sought eviction mainly on the ground that the house he was staying in and carrying on business had become insufficient for the accommodation of his increased family of four married sons and fourteen grandchildren. Besides, his sons who have now become adults, were in bona fide need of this tenanted house for having independent business of their own. It is conceded that the two tenant-petitioners were running a sweetmeat stall all through in the disputed house.
