AKHTAR MEHMOOD VS SPECIAL JUDGE (RENT), LAHORE Ss. 19 & 10---eviction petition---Effect of other agreement---Scope---Petitioner/tenant assailed concurrent dismissal of his application seeking leave to contest---Validity---Petitioner, in his application seeking leave to contest, had admitted payment of rent notwithstanding execution of two agreements to sell---Execution of agreements to sell alone could not be used to accept that tenancy between the parties had come to an end---Section 10 of Punjab Rented Premises Act, 2009, dealt with such a situation where parties opted to enter into another agreement during currency of the tenancy---Cursory glance over the agreements to sell showed that in none of them it had been clarified that tenancy would come to an end---Constitutional petition was dismissed.
