Professor ATTAUL HAQ vs INAYAT SAEED And Another

This petition for leave to appeal was filed against a judgment of the Lahore High Court, which had dismissed a writ petition arising from proceedings under the West Pakistan Urban Rent Restriction Ordinance 1959. The petitioner sought to challenge the High Court's decision before the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Upon review of the impugned judgment and hearing the arguments presented by the petitioner's counsel, the Supreme Court determined that the decision of the High Court was based entirely on a finding of fact. The Court held that the matter did not involve any substantial question of law that would necessitate intervention or a decision by the Supreme Court. Consequently, the Court found no grounds to grant leave to appeal and dismissed the petition. This judgment reinforces the principle that the Supreme Court will generally decline to interfere in matters where the lower court's decision rests on findings of fact rather than legal error or constitutional interpretation.
