Judgment & Decree

Nemo for Respondent. Date of hearing: filth March 1975. HAMOODUR RAHMAN, C. J.‑This is a petition for special leave to appeal from the judgment of a learned Single Judge of the Sind & Baluchistan High Court dismissing a second appeal from the decision of the Additional District Judge, Hyderabad, confirming the order of the Rent Controller for the ejectment of the petitioner herein from premises No. G/Z126/10, situated at Allahdad Chand Jo Goth, Hyderabad. This was an evacuee plot on which the respondent had raised some construction. It was ultimately transferred to him and a P. T. O. was Issued in his favour on the 20th November 1965. The petitioner was a tenant of the respondent in respect of the said premises under a rent deed executed by her. After the transfer, the respondent served a notice, on her by Registered A. D. demanding rent from January 1964 at the rate of Rs. 40 per month which was fixed by the rent deed. The demand for rent was‑ also accompanied by a demand to vacate the premises and handover vacant premises possession. The petitioner failed to pay the rent. Hence the respondent applied for her eviction. ' These proceedings were contested by the petitioner on a number of grounds relating to the validity of the notice, the propriety of the transfer of the promises to the respondent and as to the nature of the property, namely, as to whether it was a house or a plot. The Rent Controller, held, against the petitioner and ordered the eviction. This order was upheld in appeal by the First Appellate Court and on the second appeal by the High Court. She has now come up for special leave to appeal but, in the meats time, she has actually been evicted from the premises as no stay order was granted.

The learned Advocate‑on‑Record prays for time to enable him to obtain his discharge. This petition is, accordingly, adjourned to the next session of the Court at Karachi to enable the present Advocate‑on‑Record to obtain his discharge and to enable the petitioner to engage another Advocate, No further adjournment will be granted.
