1137/2023 Const. P. Jamil Ahmed S/o Fazal Elahi (Petitioner) V/S Muhammad Shoaib and Othes (Respondent) Sindh High Court

Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Hasan (Akber)(Author) Order Date: 16-APR-26

??? scope of Constitutional Jurisdiction in rent matters is confined to ascertain whether the Courts below have flouted the statute or failed to follow the law relating thereto. ??? by conferring only one right of appeal under section 21 of the Sindh Rented Premises Ordinance, 1979 the legislature in its wisdom has shortened the span of litigation in rent cases. ??? interference by the Court under Article 199, merely on the ground that another view of the matter was also possible, would not serve any other purpose but would add to the misery of prolonged litigation for the parties, which defeats the spirit and object of the law. ??? Although this appears to be a fit case for the imposition of heavy costs against the petitioner for initiating this frivolous second round of litigation in these rent proceedings, despite finality of the ejectment Order and handing over possession three years ago, however purely out of forbearance and indulgence, costs are not being imposed, but the petitioner is only being put on caution to be careful in future.
