What is the best legal opinion in this case?? revert asap

An Eviction petition was filed by the petitioner under section 4(1)(e) R/W Sec. 25-B of Delhi Rent Control Act and the respondent had filed their leave to defend but during the trial proceedings the respondent got to know that the petitioner is not an absolute owner of the property in question and the said property belongs to a government college whose land was already acquired and the award for the same has been passed and alloted to a government college  vide notification u/s 22(1) of Delhi Development Authority Act. And now the respondent filed an application u/s 151 CPC with the said documentary evidence, which was also accepted the Court of Law.

Now, in this case the respondent requested to dismiss the said case with immediate effect as the petitioner is a trespasser on the said land not an owner. But the petitioner said that whereas the DDA had not took a possession of the said land in physical hence the notification u/s 22(1) has no value and is null and void.

Kindly provide me a legal opinion in this case that what should be the best possible decree/ proceedings in this case...

Please revert asap.

A tenant has no right to question the ownership of the petitioner if the respondent has been inducted by him in the property and the respondent is paying rent to him under the pretext of ownership of the petitioner under Delhi Rent Control Act. Hence on this basis the petition can  not be dismissed. The respondent better concentrate on points to dismantle the bona fide need of the owner.
