Judgment & Decree
NASIM HASAN SHAH, J.‑The petitioner has been ordered to be ejected on the ground that he failed to pay the rent to the respondents, who had purchased the premises through a Registered Sale Deed from the original owner. Mr. M. A. Saleem, learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner had, in fact, purchased the property from the original owner prior to its sale in favour of the respondents and that he had filed a suit for specific performance in the civil Court in this behalf. Unfortunately, he is not in a position to intimate us to the fate of this suit although it was filed as far back as 1978. As for the plea of prior purchase, taken before the Rent Controller the same was rightly dismissed on the ground that the petitioner had failed to tender the original document in Court, to establish this plea. M. Z. M. Appeal dismissed.
