* Mr Khosla says that the relief sought inthe present applications is common. It is not disputed that the plaintiff in the suit had claimed that it was entitled to specific performance ofthe renewal clause inthe lease deed dated 19.12.2005 which commenced on 07.12.2007 and would have expired on 07.12.2010. However, in the captioned applications there is an averment to the effect that the demised premises have been surrendered to the defendants as on 31.01.2010. Mr Aggarwal refutes this position. Mr
Aggarwal further states that the defendants have not secured possession of the demised premises. In rejoinder Mr Khosla says possession was offered but since it was not taken, only to safeguard the property in issue the possession is with the plaintiff.
Notwithstanding the difference in stand on the issue of possession of the demised premises, one fact is clear that the plaintiff does not wish to continue with the suit for specific performance and, towards that end he is ready and willing to hand over the possession. Mr Khosla says that he shall hand over the key by today i.e., 03.02.2010 at
4.00 pm to the representative of the defendants Mr Munish Sehgal at his office bearing no. S-1, American Plaza, International Trade Tower, Nehru Place, New Delhi.
In these circumstances, since the suit for specific performance is rendered infhictuous Mr Khosla wishes to withdraw the suit. Mr Khosla's concern is that this should not prejudice his defence tothe claim made inthe suits filed by the defendants. It is made clear that the withdrawal ofthe suit shall be without prejudice to any stand taken by eitherpartyin the suits filedbythe defendants.
In the aforesaid circumstances, the suits and the applications stand dismissed as withdrawn.
