  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?
