 HON'BLE DR. YOGENDRA KUMAR SRIVASTAVA, J.     

Heard Sri Jitendra Pal Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Tarun Agarwal, learned counsel for the respondent.

The present petition has been filed seeking to assail the order 18.09.2025 passed by the Rent Tribunal/Additional District and Sessions Judge, Court No. 3, Aligarh, in Rent Appeal No. 160 of 2025 (Praveen Agrawal Vs. Saurabh Mitra).

In terms of the order impugned the appeal filed by the respondent-tenant has been admitted and an interim order has been granted staying the order dated 27.08.2025 passed by the Rent Tribunal in Rent Case No. 5691 of 2024 subject to certain conditions.

Counsel for the petitioner has not been able to point out any material error, illegality or perversity in the order impugned so as to persuade this Court to exercise its supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India.

The petition is therefore not entertained insofar as it relates to challenge to order dated 18.09.2025 passed in Rent Appeal No. 160 of 2025.

Learned counsel for the petitioner, at this stage, makes an alternative prayer by seeking a direction to the Rent Tribunal to expedite the hearing of the rent appeal.

Attention is also drawn to Section 33(2) of the Uttar Pradesh Urban Premises Tenancy Act, 2021, wherein it is provided that the Rent Authority shall endeavour to dispose of the case as expeditiously as possible and not exceeding sixty days from the date of receipt of the application.

Counsel appearing for the respondent-tenant has no objection to the appeal being expedited. Having regard to the aforesaid, the writ petition is disposed of with an observation that the court/authority concerned would make an endeavour to decide the aforesaid case, in accordance with law, expeditiously preferably within a period of sixty days without granting any unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties and keeping in view the statutory mandate, as noted above, provided there is no other legal impediment.
