Section:

(a) Sind Rented Premises Ordinance (XVII of 1979)--- ----S. 15 (2) (ii) & 21 (1) (2)---Default in payment of rent---Tenant had himself admitted that he deposited disputed rent of premises long after expiry of stipulated period---Tenant who had committed default in payment of rent was rightly ejected on ground of default as ejectment on ground of default was mandatory and no more was discretionary---Mere fact that appeal of tenant against ejectment order of Rent Controller was admitted by Appellate Court for hearing would not entitle tenant to grant of stay even if tenant was statutory body---Landlady being a widow deserved sympathy rather than tenant.
