📜 *Supreme Court Landmark Decision on Landlord-Tenant Dispute*
In this video, we break down a significant Supreme Court ruling concerning a prolonged rent dispute between two real brothers — the landlord (petitioner) and the tenant (respondent). The case revolves around a five-marla residential property in Lahore, which was rented out under an oral agreement.

Despite the respondent's clear default in rent payments since 2016 and his failure to cross-examine witnesses, the initial eviction petition was dismissed. However, the appellate court reversed that decision, recognizing the petitioner’s ownership and the established landlord-tenant relationship.

🧑‍⚖️ The Supreme Court restored the appellate court’s verdict, affirming the petitioner’s ownership and directing the tenant to vacate the property within two months. The judgment also highlighted the **importance of timely and efficient rent proceedings**, noting how protracted litigation can unfairly burden property owners and hinder economic justice.

⚖️ This case is a reminder of how critical it is to document oral agreements, act on defaults swiftly, and ensure clarity in rent-related matters — especially when dealing with family.
