ABDUL KADIR SHAIKH, J.‑‑This is a petition for leave to appeal from the judgment of learned Single Judge of Sind High Court, dated 24‑10‑1985 whereby an appeal filed by the respondent‑landlord was allowed and as a result petitioners were directed to hand over vacant possession of the demised premises to the respondent. Learned Judge in the High Court on reappraisal of the evidence recorded in the case held that petitioners were defaulters in payment of rent to respondent landlord for the period from August, 1971 to August, 1973, and on this view of the case he reversed the finding of the Rent Controller in this regard set aside the order of the Rent Controller whereby respondent's application for petitioners eviction was dismissed.

The petition has no merit, and is dismissed. M. I. Petition dismissed.
