The petitioners argued that since the subject matter and the question to be decided in both proceedings were the same, a stay should be granted. The petitioners had filed a suit challenging the validity of a sale deed, leading to a dispute over ownership. The Rent Control Appellate Authority dismissed the application for stay, prompting the revision petition. The petitioners contended that Section 10 CPC could be applied through Section 151 CPC, emphasizing the need for a stay based on the similarity of issues in both proceedings.The respondent's counsel argued that Section 10 CPC did not apply to rent control proceedings, citing relevant case law. The counsel highlighted that previous applications for stay had been rejected, indicating that the current application lacked merit. The Court considered the applicability of Section 10 CPC, which mandates a stay when the matter in issue is the same in previously and subsequently instituted suits between the same parties. The Court referred to case law to establish that rent control proceedings are summary in nature and do not fall under the purview of Section 10 CPC. The Court also emphasized that concurrent jurisdiction is required for the application of Section 10 CPC.The Court acknowledged the petitioners' argument regarding the similarity of issues in both proceedings but ultimately dismissed the revision petition. The Court noted that the Rent Control proceedings and the suit challenging the sale deed were distinct, and the previous court had already determined the respondent's ownership of the property. The Court found that the previous court's findings were relevant to the current dispute, leading to the dismissal of the application for stay. The Court concluded that the application under Section 10 CPC was not maintainable in this case, and each party was directed to bear their own costs.In summary, the High Court of Andhra Pradesh dismissed the revision petition seeking a stay of proceedings in the Rent Control Appellate Authority, emphasizing that Section 10 CPC did not apply to rent control proceedings. The Court considered the similarity of issues but ultimately found that the previous court's findings were relevant and the application for stay lacked merit.
