Law: Islamabad Rent Restriction Ordinance, 2001
Section: 17
The case involves an eviction petition under Section 17 of the Islamabad Rent Restriction Ordinance, 2001 (IRRO), where the landlord (respondent No.1) sought eviction of the tenant (petitioner) on two grounds: expiry of the lease agreement and the landlord's personal bona fide need of the premises to establish a wedding hall.
Legal Points and Sections:
Section 17 of IRRO, 2001: Governs eviction of tenants. The landlord can apply for eviction if the tenancy period has expired or if the landlord requires the premises for personal bona fide use. The proviso to Section 17(4)(b) states that for commercial properties, eviction on bona fide need grounds can only be sought after the expiry of the lease period.
