ORDER

1. ' GHULAM MUJADDID, J.--Rent Controller, Lahore, by order dated 22-7-1986 ordered ejectment of the petitioners on the ground that the property was required for the personal use of respondent No,1-- landlady. Appeal against that order failed by order of the Additional District Judge, dated 15-12- 1988. Constitution petition filed by the petitioners met with the same fate. Now they are before us.

2. ' Mr. Zaki-ud-Din Pal, Senior Advocate, appearing for the petitioner all along laid great stress on the fact that a big hall is available to the landlady where she can place her ten sewing machines and thus there is no legal, legitimate and bona fide need of the landlady regarding the property in dispute for her personal use.

3. ' This matter was thoroughly examined by the Courts below. For the satisfaction of the learned Advocate, we have also looked into the relevant evidence but we don't think this cuts much ice because there is evidence on record that the property is genuinely required for the personal need of the landlady.

4. ' So in the absence of any legal error we cannot do much except to hereby dismiss this petition.
