| Decision |
The petition was dismissed with a cost of Rs. 100,000 to be paid by the Petitioners to the Respondents within 15 days. In case of default, the Nazir of the Court was instructed to attach the accounts of the Petitioners and use lawful means for recovery. The Petitioners were directed to vacate the tenement within 30 days and hand over vacant possession to the Respondents. The case involved significant findings regarding willful default in payment of rent and the misuse of legal processes by the Petitioners. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the eviction of Pakistan State Oil Company Ltd. from a rented property due to a willful default in the payment of rent under the Sindh Rented Premises Ordinance, 1979. The court upheld the findings of the Rent Controller, which had previously ordered the Petitioners to vacate the premises based on substantial evidence of rent default. This case highlights critical issues related to tenant rights, landlord-tenant disputes, and the enforcement of rental agreements in Pakistan. The court emphasized that concurrent findings of facts based on undisputed evidence cannot be overturned in constitutional jurisdiction. The legal proceedings reflect the significance of adhering to rental agreements and the consequences of defaulting on rent payments. |
