| Decision |
The petitioner/landlord challenged the Lahore High Court's judgment dated 1-4-1980, which had reversed the order for the respondent's ejectment based on issues of default and personal use. The court found that there was a default in rent payment for the months of November and December 1973. The petitioner claimed personal need for the property, with her husband acting as her attorney in this matter. The High Court's interpretation of the requirements was deemed contrary to the grounds stated in the ejectment application. The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal to resolve these issues, ultimately dismissing the petition. |
