| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the petitions regarding the eviction proceedings under the Punjab Rented Premises Act, 2009. The Court found that any dispute regarding the title or ownership of a property subject to eviction proceedings must be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the Rent Tribunal or Rent Controller. The petitioner was deemed to have no locus standi in the matter, and the eviction petition was allowed based on the findings of the lower courts. The decision emphasized that the tenant's rights were upheld, and the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence of ownership or entitlement to the property in question. |
