Judgment & Decree

S. A. NUSRAT, J.‑‑The respondent /landlady applied for the ejectment of the petitioner from the disputed shop premises on the ground of default in payment of rent for 11 months. The application was allowed by the Rent Controller on an affirmative finding of default. The petitioner s First Rent Appeal challenging the said order of ejectment was dismissed by the learned High Court as per impugned judgment. 2 It was contended by the learned counsel that the petitioner had been tendering rent from time to time which proved his bona fides and in any case the default was not such as could not have been condoned in the facts and circumstances of the case. The learned High Court on examining the evidence in the case found that even if certain payments mere taken into consideration there was a clear default for three months in respect of December, 1977, January, 1978 and May, 1978. 3.

Such findings of fact do not give rise to any question of law. The petition merits no consideration and is dismissed accordingly. M.I. Petition dismissed.
