ORDER

MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH. J.‑‑ This is a leave to appeal petition by a tenant in a rent restriction matter. He was ordered to be evicted on ground of personal requirement of the respondents side. His appeal and Writ Petition were dismissed He has now sought leave to appeal.

2. The learned counsel has contended that the material placed on record from the respondents‑side failed to establish their bona fide personal requirement. Same point was raised before the High Court. It noted the material brought on record to this behalf including the fact that the respondents/ landlords were occupying one shop since 1947. It was no longer fit for their use for business which had expanded during these years and that the respondents' bona fide need was for more space and that is why the shop in dispute was purchased by them.

3. After hearing the learned counsel in support of this petition, we find no justification to interfere with the Judgment of the High Court. It does not suffer from any infirmity legal or otherwise. Leave to appeal, therefore, is refused.

M.B.A. /M‑473/S Leave refused.
