Eviction After Expiry of Tenancy During Proceedings | 2026 CLC 1292


⚖️ کرایہ داری کی مدت ختم ہونے پر نیا بے دخلی مقدمہ ضروری نہیں

اگر کرایہ دار کے خلاف کرایہ ادا نہ کرنے (Default) کی بنیاد پر بے دخلی کی درخواست زیرِ سماعت ہو اور دورانِ مقدمہ کرایہ داری کی مدت ختم ہوجائے تو مالک کو لازماً نیا بے دخلی کا مقدمہ دائر کرنے پر مجبور نہیں کیا جاسکتا۔

⚖️ ہائی کورٹ کا نے قراردیا۔

ہائی کورٹ نے قرار دیا کہ کرایہ داری ختم ہونے کے بعد صرف اس تکنیکی بنیاد پر کہ مدتِ کرایہ داری ختم ہونے کا گراؤنڈ اصل درخواست میں شامل نہیں تھا، کرایہ دار کو جائیداد پر قابض رہنے کی اجازت دینا مناسب نہیں۔

⚖️ مقدمات میں غیر ضروری تاخیر سے گریز

ہائی کورٹ نے قرار دیا کہ مالک کو نیا مقدمہ دائر کرنے کا حکم دینے سے عدالتی کارروائی غیر ضروری طور پر طویل ہوگی اور عدالتوں پر مزید مقدمات کا بوجھ بڑھے گا۔

⚖️ Once a Tenant, Always a Tenant

ہائی کورٹ نے قرار دیا کہ جب کرایہ داری ختم ہوجائے تو کرایہ دار کو بغیر مالک کی رضامندی کے جائیداد پر قبضہ جاری رکھنے کا حق حاصل نہیں رہتا۔

📌 فیصلہ

2026 CLC 1292 — Muhammad Saleem Minhas v. Ashfaq Hussain Minhas etc.

Must read judgment.

2026 CLC 1292

Whether an order of eviction can be passed on ground of expiry of the tenancy period/lease when the said ground is not taken and the eviction petitions are only filed on the basis of default?

This Court is of the opinion that in principle, ejectment order can only be passed on the ground(s) taken in the eviction petition. However, in cases where the eviction is sought on grounds other than expiry and said other ground(s) are not proved but the period of tenancy expires during the pendency of eviction proceedings, before the Special Judge (Rent), or in appeal, or before this Court, question arises as to whether in such circumstances, the ejectment petitioners be asked to withdraw the ejectment petitions and file amended or fresh petition by adding/taking expiry of the tenancy as additional or fresh ground of eviction. In this regard, it is settled principle of law that once a tenant is always a tenant, nothing but a tenant. Directing the eviction petitioners to file a fresh eviction petition (with expiry of tenancy as a ground of eviction) would amount to lingering on the matter in a manner that the tenant is enabled to continue with the occupation of the rented premises, without consent of the landlord, for no beneficial outcome except that after fulfilling codal formalities of issuing notice on such fresh eviction petition, the same merits acceptance. Additionally, such fresh petitions would add to already piled up cases with the Courts for no just reason. Such an interpretation does not dovetail well with the object and purpose of the Punjab Rented Premises Act, 2009 ("the Act"), which aims at ensuring that the disputes, inter se, the landlord and tenant are resolved in a cost effective and expeditious manner as is evident form the preamble of the Act.
