Judgment & Decree
West Pakistan Urban Rent Restriction Ordinance (VI of 1959) -.

M. A. Aziz, Advocate Supreme Court itructed by M. A. Qureshi, Advocate-on-Record for Petitioner. Nemo for Respondents. Date of hearing: 20th December, 1980. KARAM ELAHEE CHAUHAN, J.-This is a petition against an order of the High Court dated 13-7-1980, whereby a Constitutional petition being W. P. 7681 /80 filed by the petitioners against the order of the learned District Judge dated 26-2-1980, whereby he accepting the appeal of the respondents/ landlords and holding that the landlords required the property in dispute for their genuine bona fide personal need ordered his eviction. The High Court has taken the view that the findings of fact recorded by the learned District Judge did not suffer from any omission or misreading of evidence and as such could not be interfered with in the course of Constitutional jurisdiction under Article 199 of the Constitution. In this respect, the High Court relied upon Muhammad Hussain Munir and others v. Sikandar and others (1). We have been taken through the evidence by the learned counsel but we are not able to find out any omission or misreading of the record and as such refusal of the High Court to interfere in such a matter seems to be quite justified.
2. The petition has no merit and is consequently dismissed. Learned counsel prayed for grant of time to enable his cli-.nt to vacate this property. The request is accepted. We grant two months' time. The petitioner should voluntarily surrender the property to the landlords without damage and should continue to pay the rent in the meantime regularly. Leave petition dismissed.
