JUDGMENT
JUDGMENT ' ABDUL QADEER CHAUDHRY, J.---These appeals by leave of the Court are directed against the judgment dated 6-12-1992 of the High Court. 2. The respondent-landlord brought four eviction applications against the appellants for their eviction from four shops in respective possession of each appellant. The grounds taken in the eviction applications were default and bona fide personal use of the landlord. The ground of default was not established. However, the applications were granted on the ground of personal use. The appellants challenged the order of eviction before the High Court in four appeals which were disposed of by a common judgment. Their appeals were dismissed and four months' time was granted to the appellants for handing over the vacant possession of the shops. 3. At the leave granting stage, one of the tenants who had two shops had agreed to surrender one shop to the respondent and the shop has since been in possession of the landlord. The landlord required the shops for running the business of iron bars and cement. According to the respondent, three shops are required for storing the material and the fourth shop would be used as an Office. The two Courts have accepted the requirement of the landlord. There are concurrent findings of fad. The area of each shop is too small to run the business in one shop. 4. There is no misreading of evidence. These appeals are dismissed. The appellants request for some time for handing over the vacant possession of the shops. The learned counsel for the respondent has agreed to grant six months' time. The appellants should hand over the vacant possession of the shops in question within six months. No order as to costs.
