On March 16, 1972 a, suit was filed by the tenant for a declaration that the order dated July 29, 1970 was a nullity and he was not obliged to leave the premises. He also applied for an interim injunction. The learned Subordinate Judge granted an injunction on May 20, 1972 restraining the landlord from enforcing the order of the Controller during the pendency of the suit.
