RAFIQ BEGUM VS MAHMOODA WAHIDINA Sindh Rented Premises Ordinance 1979--PREAMBLE , Preamble-Aims and objects of the Ordinance.The Sind Rented Premises Ordinance, 1979 is a piece of social legislation aimed at easing the problem of accommodation, protecting the tenants from evictions inspired by profit hunting motives and providing certain safeguards for the tenants and saving them from great expense, inconvenience and trouble. But the Ordinance does not completely overlook the interest of the landlord and has under certain conditions granted a clear right to the landlord to seek eviction on proof of grounds mentioned in section 15 of Ordinance. Thus, the Ordinance appears to have struck a just balance between the requirements in good faith on the one hand and great inconvenience and trouble of the tenants on the other.
