Petitioner: Messrs PAK. CRAFTS EMORIUM VS Respondent: BASIT YAR KHAN
Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Ali Hussain Qazilbash, Muhammad Afzal Zullah, S. A. Nusrat Title: Messrs PAK. CRAFTS EMORIUM vs BASIT YAR KHAN Case No.: Civil Petition No. 83-K of 1986 Second Appeal No. 65 of 1982 Date of Judgment:1986-08-25 Reported As: 1986 SCMR 1832 Result: Petition dismissed
Judgment ORDER S.A. NUSRAT, J.--According to the office note this petition is barred by 9 days. The learned counsel for the petitioner invited our attention to the certified copy of the impugned judgment from which it appears that copy was made ready on 24-12-1985. The figure "24" appears to have been read by office as "14" on the basis of an endorsement at the bottom of the copy under the signature of some person. In the circumstances, the petition is within time. 2. The petitioner is a tenant of the respondent in respect of a shop premises situate in Sadder Co- operative Market, Abdullah Haroon Road, Karachi. The respondent applied for ejectment of the petitioner on the ground of default in payment of rent for 13 months and personal requirement. The application was allowed by the Rent Controller on both the grounds. This order was however, set aside by the learned Additional District Judge on First Appeal. This led to the filing of a Second Appeal in the High Court by the respondent/landlord where he succeeded and the order of the Rent Controller was restored. 3. It was contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the order of Rent Controller, which was restored by the High Court, was vague in discussion of the evidence and the ground of personal need was also not proved. We have gone through the impugned judgment and find that each and every aspect of the case has been well considered particularly so as the matter was brought in Second Appeal and findings of fact arrived at by the first appellate Court were sought to be set aside. The findings in the case are purely one of fact and no question of law arises in the matter. The petition is, therefore dismissed.
