ORDER

MUSHTAQ HUSSAIN, J.-The petitioners are successors-in-interest of Hashmat Ali deceased, the transferee of the property in dispute. One Muhammad Din was its occupant since 1948.

2. The petition for ejectment was filed against Muhammad Din and the other respondents on the grounds that Muhammad Din had defaulted in payment of rent and bad inducted the other respondents into the house as sub-tenants. Muhammad Din did not contest the application. The other respondents did. The other respondents claim to be in occupation of the house in their own rights.

3. The Rent Controller passed an ejectment order against the said respondents on 1-4-74. The respondents filed an appeal. The appeal was dismissed by the Additional District Judge. The respondents then filed a second appeal which was accepted by the Lahore (sigh Court on 31-1-75.

Hence this civil petition for special leave to appeal.

4. The judgment of the learned High Court is based on the finding that, the service of notice on Muhammad Din, the statutory tenant, not having been proved before the Rent Controller, the case could not have been proceeded with at all. Secondly the other respondents having claimed that the house was never sublet to them by Muhammad Din, a proposition which, having found favour with the learned Rent Controller, they could no have been proceeded against as sub-tenants.

5. Both these questions pertain .To the realm of fact and it is not for this Court to interfere in it. Leave is, therefore, refused and the petition is dismissed.
