Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the ejectment application under Section 13(3)(a)(1)(b) of the Punjab Rent Restriction Act, emphasizing that subsequent events must be considered in light of the law. The Court held that the widow of the deceased appellant, who claimed the need for the house for personal residence, must substantiate her claims with evidence before the trial court. The appeal was allowed, and the matter was remanded for trial to determine the validity of the new facts presented by the widow.
