RASHID AZIZ KHAN, J.-- Facts giving rise to the present petition are that respondent had filed an ejectment petition under Section 13 of Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Ordinance seeking eviction of Muhammad Noor-ul-Hassan, the petitioner. Learned Rent Controller on 13.11.1996, accepted the application and ordered ejectment. The appeal also failed. Thereafter, 2nd appeal against the order of Rent Controller was filed which too was dismissed by a learned Judge in chambers on 18.5.1999.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner after arguing the case at some length stated that he would be satisfied if at least one year's time is allowed to the petitioner to vacate the premises. We have considered the argument made in the alternate but are of the view that allowing of one year's time would not be proper and just as the parties have been litigating for the past over 5 years. In these circumstances, while dismissing, the petition, we direct that the petitioner shall hand over vacant possession to the respondent within three months without execution proceedings. During this period, rent shall he paid regularly failing which petitioner shall he liable to be evicted forthwith.
Dismissed.
