ORDER

1. ABDUL KADIR SHAIKH, J.-- This is a petition for leave to appeal from the judgment of Sind High Court dated 2-6-1986 dismissing petitioner's appeal and in result upholding the order of the Rent Controller directing petitioner's eviction from the demised premises on the ground that respondent-landlady had satisfactorily proved that she required the premises for her bona fide personal use.

2. The High Court noticed that it is an admitted position that "there are six members of the family (of the landlady)" and in the view of the High Court "they at least require one room each". The accommodation available with the landlady was held to be insufficient and on the facts proved on record it was also held that "the need (of the landlady) is bona fide".

3. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner in the light of the record we find that no exception in law or on facts can be legitimately taken against the view that has prevailed in the High Court.

4. The petition is, therefore, dismissed.
