Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Ali Hussain Qazilbash, Saad Saood Jan Title: Messrs RABKA PEST CONTROL LIMITED vs Mrs. MAHMOODA KHALIL Case No.: Civil Petition No,428-K of 1988 Date of Judgment:1988-10-23 Reported As: 1989 SCMR 515 Result: Leave to appeal refused
Judgment ORDER ' SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.--The petitioner is a tenant under the respondent in a house situate in Sind Muslim Co-operative Society, Karachi. On an application made by the respondent a Rent Controller at Karachi has directed its ejectment on the ground of default in the payment of rent. The petitioner filed an appeal before the High Court but it failed. It now seeks leave to appeal from this Court. 2. The dispute in this petition centres mainly round the controversy whether the rent agreed upon between the parties was Rs,2,500 or Rs,1,500 per month. It is not disputed that if the rent was taken to be Rs,2,500 the petitioner would be a defaulter. Now, there is a finding of the Rent Controller that the rent fixed was Rs,2,500. The High Court did not interfere with this finding. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner we are not persuaded that the said finding suffers from any infirmity. The petition is dismissed.
