T.P.S. Chawla, J.(1) In this appeal under section 39 of the Delhi Rent Control Act 1958, the appellant has moved an application seeking leave to produce further evidence. The application is made 'under Order 41 rule 27 read with section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure' and prays for the case to be remitted to the Additional Rent Controller for recording additional evidence.
