Judgment ORDER ' FAZAL ILAHI KHAN, J.---Leave to appeal is prayed for by the petitioners against the judgment of the High Court of Balochistan dated 7-11-1993 in F.A.O. No, 73 of 1993. ' Petitioners/landlords' ejectment application was allowed by the Controller of Rent against respondent/tenant from a shop on the ground of respondent having defaulted in payment of rent. The learned High Court, however, set aside the order of ejectment on the ground that default was for short period and that the arrear of rent has been deposited in compliance with the order of Controller under section 13(6) of the Rent Restriction Ordinance. Leave is granted to consider; whether learned High Court was legally correct on facts of the case to condone delay which entailed ejectment on the grounds given above and for attracting the amended provision of the Balochistan Urban Rent Restriction Ordinance, 1959, when the respondent did not admit his liability on the first date of hearing of the petition.
