Abul Khair, Advocate‑on‑Record for Petitioner.

Nemo for Respondent.

Date of hearing: 16th June, 1986.

This is a petition for leave to appeal from the judgment of Sind High Court, dated 24‑11‑1985 dismissing an appeal filed by the petitioner and thereby upholding order of the Rent Controller directing petitioner's eviction from the demised premises. Learned Rent Controller passed that order on being satisfied from the evidence recorded in the case that the respondent‑landlady required the premises for her personal use and the petitioner was also defaulter in payment of rent.

The arguments addressed by the learned counsel appearing in support of the petitioner rarely amount to a request for re‑appraisal. Of the evidence which obviously cannot be granted. Even otherwise, the findings of the High Court being rooted in the evidence recorded in the case do not call for interference by this Court. The petition is, therefore, dismissed.

M. Y. H. Petition dismissed.
