  cantonment arearent jurisdictionejectment petitionterritorial jurisdictionnullity of orderconstitutional petitionrent controller
  Summary & questions settled

  This constitutional petition challenges the judgments of the lower courts, which ordered the petitioner's ejectment from a shop located within the Cantonment Board, Murree. The core legal question is whether a Special Judge (Rent) appointed under the Punjab Rented Premises Act, 2009, possesses the jurisdiction to adjudicate an ejectment petition concerning property situated within a cantonment area. The Court held that the Punjab Rented Premises Act, 2009, does not apply to properties within cantonment limits, as such areas are governed by the Cantonments Rent Restriction Act, 1963. Consequently, the Court ruled that the Special Judge (Rent) lacked jurisdiction, rendering the ejectment orders a nullity and without legal effect. The key principle laid down is that the jurisdiction to adjudicate rent matters in cantonment areas is exclusively vested in the Rent Controller appointed under the Cantonments Rent Restriction Act, 1963, and any adjudication by a tribunal lacking such territorial jurisdiction constitutes a usurpation of power and is void ab initio.

  Questions settled

  • Does a Special Judge (Rent) appointed under the Punjab Rented Premises Act, 2009, have jurisdiction to adjudicate an ejectment petition for property situated within a cantonment area?
  • Is an order passed by a court lacking territorial jurisdiction considered a nullity?
  • Which statute governs the rent and eviction of tenants for properties located within the limits of a Cantonment Board?

  bar of suitfraud and collusionpower of attorneyspecific performancecivil revision
  Summary & questions settled

  This civil revision petition arises out of concurrent judgments of the lower courts dismissing the petitioner's suit as not maintainable under section 12(2) of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908. The petitioner had challenged an order and statement made by his attorney in a previous suit, claiming it was illegal and void. The core legal question was whether a separate suit challenging a judgment and decree on grounds of fraud or collusion is barred when the remedy lies under section 12(2) of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908. The Lahore High Court held that the petitioner's grievance regarding the conduct of his attorney amounted to fraud and collusion, thereby attracting the bar under section 12(2), Code of Civil Procedure 1908, which renders a separate suit incompetent. The court concluded that the petitioner could raise the defense of fraud or collusion in the pending specific performance suit filed by the respondents, noting that Article 58 of the Qanun-e-Shahadat Order 1984 caters to such situations, and accordingly dismissed the petition.

  Questions settled

  • Whether a separate suit is barred under section 12(2) of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908 when challenging a judgment or order on the grounds of fraud or collusion?
  • Can a plaint challenging a judicial order on the basis of an attorney's fraudulent conduct be treated as an application under section 12(2) of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908 when another suit is pending?
  • How does Article 58 of the Qanun-e-Shahadat Order 1984 apply to a situation where a statement or order is alleged to have been collusively obtained?
