The Supreme Court dismissed the petition for leave to appeal against the Lahore High Court's order which struck off the tenant's defense due to non-compliance with the Rent Controller's order to deposit arrears of rent and future rent as mandated by Section 13(6) of the West Pakistan Urban Rent Restriction Ordinance, 1959. The petitioner failed to demonstrate compliance with the order, which led to the dismissal of the petition.
