| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the civil revisions filed by the petitioners, MUHAMMAD ANWAR and others, seeking to join as parties in the ongoing suits for recovery of rent arrears and eviction of tenants. The Court found that the petitioners had already sought adjudication of their title in separate civil suits and had laid no claim to tenancy of the property in question. The Court emphasized that a person claiming title to property cannot be impleaded in a suit for recovery of rent and eviction of tenants, as it would complicate the proceedings and divert focus from the primary issue of tenancy. The Court upheld the Trial Court's decision, stating that the petitioners were neither necessary nor proper parties to the suits and therefore dismissed both civil revisions. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the Lahore High Court's decision regarding civil revisions Nos.950 and 951 of 1994, where the petitioners sought to be joined as parties in ongoing suits concerning rent arrears and eviction of tenants. The court ruled that the petitioners had previously initiated separate civil suits to adjudicate their ownership claims, which did not establish any tenancy rights over the disputed property. The court reiterated that individuals asserting ownership cannot intervene in landlord-tenant disputes over rent recovery, as this would complicate the legal process. The ruling highlights the importance of maintaining a clear distinction between property ownership claims and tenancy rights, reinforcing existing legal precedents that discourage such interventions. This case is critical for understanding landlord-tenant relationships and the boundaries of legal claims in property disputes, emphasizing the necessity for clarity in property titles and tenant rights. |
