78/2026 Const. P. Hascol Petroleum (Petitioner) V/S Shahzaib Rind & Another (Respondent) Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Zulfiqar Ali Sangi Order Date: 02-FEB-26
It is well settled that Constitutional jurisdiction cannot be invoked to short-circuit the statutory process merely on the basis of an arbitration clause which, in the facts of the case, does not govern the dispute in question. 15. For the foregoing reasons, this Court finds that the learned Rent Controller committed no illegality or jurisdictional error in dismissing the Petitioner???s application under Section 34 of the Arbitration Act, 1940. The arbitration clause does not override the statutory jurisdiction of the Rent Controller in matters of rent and ejectment. Consequently, the petition is devoid of merit and does not warrant interference under Article 199 of the Constitution. 16. This petition is accordingly dismissed with pending application(s).
