Case Summary:
The petitioners challenged the eviction orders passed by the Rent Controller and the Appellate Court regarding Flat No. 1, Amina Abdullah Soomro Manzil, Karachi, claiming ownership based on an unperformed sale agreement from 1995. The respondent, Abdullah Soomro, filed an eviction application under the Sindh Rented Premises Ordinance, 1979, citing rent default and personal bona fide need. Both courts below held that:
