| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the petition filed by JAN MUHAMMAD against the order of the Rent Controller, which had directed him to vacate the premises in favor of Mst. Bashiran Begum, the landlady. The Court found that no errors of law or procedure were committed by the lower courts, which had determined that the landlady required the premises for her personal use. The case involved factual determinations made by two lower courts, which were upheld by the Supreme Court. The decision emphasized the importance of the factual findings in cases of ejectment under the Sind Rented Premises Ordinance, 1979, and concluded that the leave to appeal was refused due to lack of merit. |
