Tell the Definition of "immediate" in 14D Delhi Rent Act

 

What is the definition of the word "immediate" in section 14D of Delhi Rent control Act?

I am pasting here this particular section of this act----

"Right to recover immediate possession of premises to accrue to a widow. - (1) Where the landlord is a widow and the premises let out by her, or by her husband, are required by her for her own residence, she may apply to the Controller for recovering the immediate possession of such premises.

(2) Where the landlord referred to in sub-section (1) has let out more than one premises, it shall be open to her to make an application under that sub-section in respect of any one of the premises chosen by her."


In day to day life by "immediate" we mean " accomplishing a job/work without loss or interval of time."But this simple definition is not perhaps accepted by Indian judiciary--by immediate they perhaps mean 6 months or 8 months.Can you tell me whether I am right?If yes,how they decided this time frame as "immediate"?
Or If I am wrong ,do they deliver justice in the trials under this section immediately,I mean within days?
Can we ask this question to Indian Govt. through Right to information act--RTI,if yes,how?

It is easy to find faults with the legal system but you forget that there are rights of other side also. The word immediate has to be read with other requirments in the provisions that the premises are required by her for her own residence.

If the other side is able to prove that the widow do not need the premises for her own residence no order for possession will be passed. So please do not read one word immediate   only , it is put with conditions. Unless the conditions are fulfilled than only the word  immediate will come in operation.
