' Ali Jaffar and one other has preferred the present revision petition against Ali Asghar and two others after having been aggrieved of the order of the learned Civil Judge Nowshera, dated 22-10- 1996 and that of the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Nowshera, dated 11-2-1998.
2. The facts of the case briefly stated are that the respondents-plaintiffs namely, Ali Asghar etc. Brought a suit against Jaffar and others for recovery of Rs,48,589 as arrears of rent, water tax, electricity bill, gas bill and cost of damages. It was alleged in the plaint that they were landlord and owners of the disputed house while the predecessor-in interest of the defendants namely Akbar Ali was a tenant in the said house at the rate of Rs,900 per month. Later on Akbar Ali died and his heirs succeeded as tenants and they failed to pay the rent, the utility bills and caused damage to the building. The respondents thereafter, filed an ejectment petition against them before the Rent Controlter where their defence was struck off on 8-1-1994 as they had failed to deposit the amount of arrears as directed by the Rent Controller. They had also denied the relationship of landlord and tenant in the said proceedings. This order was appealed against before the District Judge, Nowshera which also failed. In the present Troceedings the petitioners-defendants contested the suit for claiming Rs,48,589. Upon the pleadings of the parties issues were framed and after recording the evidence of the parties the suit of the plaintiffs-respondents was decreed by the Civil Judge 1st Class, Nowshera on 22-10-1996. Feeling aggrieved of the aforesaid order Ali Jaffar etc. The present petitioners preferred an appeal before the District Judge Nowshera which was also dismissed on 11-2-1998.
3. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and have gone through the record.
4. The record suggests that the plaintiffs-respondents had already succeeded in their ejectment petition before the Rent Controller in which a decree for Rs,48,589 was passed by a competent forum on 22-10-1996. In the subsequent proceedings the two Courts below have passed the impugned orders after having recorded the evidence of the parties in support of documentary proof and I feel that the two forums have not committed any illegality or irregularity. In the circumstances, the present revision petition has no merit and is dismissed in limine along with C.M.
