ORDER1. Smt. T.N. Manjuladevi, learned Government Advocate, is directed to take notice for respondent 1.2. This is a writ petition filed by an allottee of the premises in question belonging to respondent 2 who is the landlord. When the premises was allotted to the petitioner by the Rent Controller, the notified rent was fixed at Rs. 400/- per month. However, on appeal preferred by the landlord before respondent I, the appellate authority enhanced the rent from Rs. 400/- to Rs. 550/- per month. Therefore, the petitioner is aggrieved.3.

ORDERBopanna, J.1. By my Order dated 11-8-1988 : ILR1989KAR2562 the preliminary objection as to the maintainability of Company Petitions Nos. 32 and 67 of 1987 was upheld and the petitions were posted for grant of interim relief on 2-9-1988. Since the grant of interim relief is closely connected with the question of admission of these petitions, I have heard the learned Counsel on both these points. It may also be noticed that my Order dated 11-8-1988 is pending in appeal in O.S.A. No. 10 of 1988 and in the absence of any Order by the Division Bench staying the operation of that Order, there is no bar for this Court to hear these petitions on the question of admission and interim relief.2. Company Petitions Nos. 32 and 67 of 1987 are filed by the petitioner under the provisions of Sections 397 and 398 of the Companies Act, 1956 (in short the Act). Company Petitions Nos. 49 and 50 are filed by the very same petitioner under the provisions of Section 433(f) of the Act. The facts in all t...
