ORDER

1. M UHAM M AD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.--Leave to appeal has been sought from judgment dated 9-2-1981 of the Lahore High Court whereby a Second Appeal, arising out of an eviction order passed by a learned Rent Controller, filed by the respondent-landlords was allowed on the ground of bona fide require--ment. Earlier, the First Appellate Court while allowing the petitioners appeal had set aside the eviction order.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner has raised two contentions in support of this petition: (1) that none of the witnesses examined from the respondents' side deposed about bona fide requirement; and (2) that the landlords owned other property in the same urban area.

3. Mere ownership of property in the same urban area is by itself not ground to refuse the application of the landlord for eviction of his tenant on ground of personal requirement. With regard to the evidence led from the respondents' side, suffice it to observe that the copies of the depositions on the witnesses have not been placed on record so as to verify the statement made by the learned counsel with regard to the contents thereof.

4. We accordingly find no force in this petition and the same is dismissed. revisions by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the official sources or legal professionals for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
