4. The learned Rent Controller rejected the claim of the respondent for eviction on the ground of non- payment of the rent, subletting but on the ground of bonafide requirement, he had allowed the eviction against the appellant.

5. Feeling aggrieved by the order of the learned Rent Controller, the appellant filed an appeal before the Appellate Authority, Jallandhar and the Appellate Authority, by its Judgment dated 15th of November, 2006 dismissed the appeal of the appellant.

6. Against the aforesaid orders of the Appellate Authority as well as of the Rent Controller, the appellant filed a Civil Revision case, as mentioned herein. By the impugned order, the said Revision case was also dismissed on the ground that there was no perversity or infirmity in the orders of the Tribunals below.
