- That however, the defendant even after receiving the said legal notice have neither vacated the premises nor shown their intention to vacate. Thus the defendant from ……(date) are in wrongful use and occupation @ Rs. 1,000/- per day as the rate of rent in the area are for such premises prevailing and the plaintiffs have rightly assessed the rate of Rs. 1,000/- per day. The same rate was demanded in the legal notice dated That since the premises were needed by the plaintiffs for their own purposes they will have to take on rent the premises of same size in the same area where the flat is situated and the plaintiffs have done a market survey during the search for the flat and found that the rate of rent in the area is Rs. 100/- to Rs. 150/- per sq. feet. The plaintiffs own flat which is 370 sq. ft. super area will be available in the market for Rs. 37000/- to 55,500/- per month. The plaintiffs does not have means to take on rent a flat for own purposes at such high rates and thus needed the flat and for this reason asked the defendant to vacate the premises.
- The defendant is presently paying a monthly rent of Rs. 6808/- per month (Rupees six thousand eight hundred eight) for the plaintiffs flat measuring 370 sq. ft. super area. The plaintiffs premises are not governed by the Delhi Rent Control Act as the rate of rent is more than Rs. 3,500/- and thus the Hon’ble Court has jurisdiction to try the matter.
- The cause of action in the present case arose on when the plaintiffs approached the defendant for the vacation of the said flat. The cause of action further arose on when the plaintiffs again approached the officers of the defendant for the vacation of the flat who however did not oblige. The cause of action further arose when the plaintiffs served a legal notice dated …… through their advocate Shri Ajit Panday asking the defendant to vacate the same by ……. The said notice was duly received on …… However, the defendant did not vacate the flat in question. The cause of action in the present case is a continuing one.
- That since the property whose possession is sought is situated in Delhi. The Lease for the premises was executed in Delhi and delivery of possession made in Delhi. And since the premises are not covered by Delhi Rent Control Act. The Hon’ble Court has jurisdiction to try the matter.
