ISMAIL Versus GUL INAYAT SHAH

This matter arises from a petition for leave to appeal before the Supreme Court of Pakistan, addressing whether the provisions of section 12(2) of the Code of Civil Procedure are applicable to cases decided under the Sind Rented Premises Ordinance, 1979. The core legal question concerns the applicability of procedural remedies against judgments and orders under special rent laws. The court granted leave to appeal to consider this question of law, ordered that security be deposited, and directed that the appeal be heard on the existing record with liberty to file additional documents. As part of its interim holding, the court restrained the eviction of the petitioner from the demised premises pending the decision of the appeal, subject to the condition that the petitioner continues to deposit the rent in court. The key principle highlighted relates to the examination of whether general procedural provisions like section 12(2) govern special statutory jurisdictions.
