Mst. BHAGAN BIBI vs MUHAMMAD AKRAM And Other

This matter concerns a petition for leave to appeal against an order of the High Court, which interfered with concurrent findings of fact previously established by the Rent Controller and affirmed by the First Appellate Court. The core legal question presented for the Supreme Court's examination is whether the High Court is legally justified in exercising its writ jurisdiction to set aside concurrent findings of fact reached by lower rent forums. The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal, thereby indicating that the propriety of the High Court's interference with such concurrent findings requires a detailed judicial review. The principle at stake involves the scope and limitations of writ jurisdiction when confronted with concurrent factual determinations made by specialized tribunals and appellate authorities under rent control legislation. By granting leave, the Court has signaled that the High Court's exercise of jurisdiction in this specific context warrants further scrutiny to determine if it exceeded the permissible boundaries of judicial review regarding findings of fact.
