ORDER

Sh. V. Gopalkrishnan, General Secretary of All India Federation of the Deaf addressed a letter dated 13.07.2018 to the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities.  The said letter was submitted to this Court by Smt. Vijay Bala, a person with 100% hearing impairment and her daughter Ms. Archna vide the said letter, it has been submitted that Smt. Vijay Bala is a widow of late Sh. Mahavir Prasad.  He had a hardware store by the name “Garg Hardware Store” at F-359, Bankey Lal Market, Badarpur, New Delhi-110044.  The shop was initially taken on rent by her father.  His two brothers, Sh. Ranbir Garg and Sh. Gurcharan Garg joined later on.  They used to give Rs. 250/- to him for a day’s work.  It has been alleged that they have stopped giving that amount.  She has no other source of income and it is difficult for her to support her two daughters and a son.  She requested for her share in the said property. 
2.       The matter was taken up with the respondents vide notice dated 18.09.2018 followed by letter dated 26.10.2018.  Thereafter, a hearing was held on 28.12.2018 and 31.01.2019. 
3.       On 28.12.2018, Smt. Vijay Bala produced a copy of legal notice from Sh. Anil Kumar Junjeja, advocate, Delhi High Court on behalf of Sh. Ranbir Gard and Sh. Gurcharan Garg for vacating the entire second floor of house no. 36/3 Gali No. 1, Near Chiranji Lal & Sons, Bankey Lal Market, Badarpur, New Delhi-110044, occupied by her and her family.  She stated that the notice has been issued because of this complaint.  She also stated that Sh. Ranbir Garg also telephoned her daughter and asked her to withdraw the case from this Court, if they want to continue living in the house.  Sh. Gaurav Garg s/o Smt. Vijay Bala who accompanied her, stated that when his father was alive and working in the shop, his uncle Sh. Ranbir Garg used to tell him that he had 50% share in the shop.  But after the death of his father, when he asked his uncle about his share, he told him that he had no share in the shop and his father was only working as a servant and was being paid his salary.  Smt. Vijay Bala submitted that her family comprising a son and two daughters are living on second and third floor (each floor having only one room) for the last 30-35 years and they have no other place to stay.  She should be given 50% of her share in the shop as it was originally in the name of Sh. Ranbir Garg and her husband. 
4.       Sh. Anil Kumar Juneja, advocate appeared on behalf of Sh. Ranbir Garg and Sh. Gurcharan Garg and submitted a copy of General Power of Attorney registered on 08.09.1995 as per which the GPA of the shop in question has been extended in favour of Sh. Ranbir Garg and Sh. Gurcharan Garg.  He further submitted that the statement of Smt. Vijay Bala is not correct and she should be directed to produce documents in support of her claim. 
5.       Vide RoP dated 01.01.2019, the complainant was directed to submit the supporting documents if any and the respondent no. 1 was directed to file written submissions.  On 31.01.2019, Smt. Vijay Bala, who was accompanied by her daughter and Sh. Ramesh Gupta, informed that a meeting to sort out the matter with Sh. Ranbir Garg and Sh. Gurcharan Garg (Respondent no. 1) was scheduled after the hearing on 28.12.2018.  However, due to preoccupation of her daughter, the meeting could not take place.  The parties were therefore advised to discuss the matter and intimate the outcome. 
6.       On the next date of hearing on 08.03.2019, Sh. Gaurav Garg s/o Smt. Vijay Bala appeared and informed that his sister’s marriage has been scheduled and therefore the meeting with his uncles Sh. Ranbir Garg and Sh. Gurcharan Garg would be held after his sister’s marriage.
7.       As the parties have indicated to discuss between themselves and sort out the matter amicably, the complaint is disposed off with the advice to Sh. Ranbir Garg and Sh. Gurcharan Garg to be accommodative and sorting out the issue keeping in view the situation of Smt. Vijay Bala, who is a person with deafness.
8.       The complaint is disposed off.
9.       Given under my hand and the seal of the Court this 12th day of March, 2019.
