Holding

The appeal was dismissed as there was nothing left to adjudicate after the respondent vacated the quarters unconditionally.

Summary

The Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda filed a writ petition challenging the appellant's imposition of penal rent on certain quarters. The Single Judge held that if renovation was required, the respondent could shift to other premises offered by the appellant at the same rent. The respondent later filed an affidavit stating he would vacate the quarters on 07.05.2006, and the appellant reported that the respondent actually vacated on 22.04.2026. The Court observed that, in view of the respondent's unconditional vacation, there was no remaining issue for the appeal. Counsel for the appellant argued that the respondent could not impose any condition on vacating the premises, while the respondent affirmed that he had vacated unconditionally. Consequently, the appeal and the connected civil applications were disposed of.

Issues considered

  • Whether the respondent can impose any condition on the vacation of the quarters after the order of the Single Judge.
  • Whether any relief remains for the appellant after the respondent has vacated the premises unconditionally.

                       ORAL JUDGMENT
        (PER : HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE N.S.SANJAY GOWDA)


   1. The respondent filed a writ petition challenging the act of
      the appellant in charging penal rent.

   2. In this writ petition, the learned Single Judge has held that
      if the renovation was required of the quarters in respect of
      which a penal rent was being charged, the respondent
      would switch to other premises, which may be offered by
      the appellant by paying the same rent.

   3. After the matter was heard for some time, the respondent
         filed an affidavit that he would vacate the quarters on
         07.05.2006. Pursuant to this affidavit, it is reported by the
         appellant that the respondent has, in fact, vacated on
         22.04.2026.

   4. In that view of the matter, nothing survives in this appeal.

   5. Learned counsel for the appellant, however, points out that
         the respondent seeks to impose a condition for his handing
         over the quarters. It is made clear that the respondent
         cannot impose any condition against the appellant for
         vacation of the quarters in light of the order passed by the
         learned Single Judge.

   6. It is also stated by learned counsel for the respondent that
         the    respondent            now       has        instructed        him       that      the
         respondent has vacated the quarters unconditionally.
         Appeal stands disposed of accordingly. Connected Civil
         Applications also stand disposed of.




                                                                   (N.S.SANJAY GOWDA,J)
