Decision The appeal was dismissed due to the non-compliance of the Rent Controller's order regarding the payment of rent. The court upheld that the relationship of landlord and tenant existed between the parties, and the lack of payment was deemed negligent and contumacious. The appellants were ordered to vacate the premises within sixty days.
Summary In the case of F.R.A. No. 523 of 1991, the Sindh High Court addressed the issue of non-payment of rent under the Sindh Rented Premises Ordinance. The court ruled against the appellants, stressing the importance of adhering to rent orders and the consequences of negligence in such matters. The case highlights the legal obligations of tenants to comply with rent payment schedules and the repercussions of failing to do so. The ruling emphasizes that landlords have the right to reclaim possession of their property if tenants default on rent payments, thus reinforcing the legal framework surrounding tenancy agreements in Pakistan.
