The Supreme Court of Pakistan upheld the decision of the Lahore High Court, allowing the appellants to vacate the premises in question. The court granted a two-month period for the appellants to vacate the shop, with the condition that they would pay rent for this duration in advance. The agreement was reached amicably between the counsel for both parties, ensuring that the landlord's rights were preserved while providing the appellants with sufficient time to relocate. No costs were ordered, reflecting the cooperative nature of the proceedings. |
| Summary |
In the landmark case of Civil Appeal No. 132 of 1973, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed issues related to the West Pakistan Urban Rent Restriction Ordinance, 1959, specifically focusing on the ejectment of tenants. The case arose from an appeal against the Lahore High Court's dismissal of an application under the aforementioned ordinance. The appellants, represented by Raja Muhammad Anwar and Raja Abdul Razzaque, sought additional time to vacate a shop, while the respondent's counsel, Ejaz Ahmad Khan, agreed to this request. The Court's decision emphasized the importance of balancing tenant rights with landlord interests, ultimately granting a two-month extension for the appellants to vacate the premises. This case is pivotal in understanding tenant-landlord relations and the application of rent control laws in Pakistan.
