MUHAMMAD YAQOOB VS MUHAMMAD NAWAZ West Pakistan Urban Rent Restriction Ordinance 1959--13 , West Pakistan Urban Rent Restriction Ordinance 1959 ---S.13---Constitution of Pakistan (1973), Art.185(3)---Reconstruction---Order of ejectment was upheld by the High Court in Constitutional jurisdiction---When tenant's application came up for consideration his plea was that he only wanted certain minor adjustments for the purpose of his shifting to other premises--Tenant's such request was granted by the Supreme Court---Tenant, however, had not vacated the premises despite the fact that more than two months had passed---Mere fact that tenant had not so far vacated the premises despite the clarification sought from Supreme Court would show that he might prolong the shifting whether for vacating the premises or for re-locating the electric connection, so as to suit his own convenience---Question of tenant's eviction having been affirmed and concluded, no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petition pending---Leave to appeal was thus refused---Landlord might take any action for gaining the possession as soon as possible---Earlier order of Supreme Court would stand vacated in its entirety including that part which related to shifting/re-location of electric connection.
