The Pakistan Law Commission has taken notice of the fact that there is a general complaint about inordinate delays in the disposal of rent cases and implementation of the Courts’ orders passed in those cases. On the one hand there are some tenants who are interested in retaining the possession of the rented premises and for that purpose exploit the procedural loop-holes in the Rent Laws to prolong the litigation, while, on the other, there are certain landlords who, in order to get the maximum amount of rent, try to eject one tenant after the other with the intention of increasing the rent of the premises substantially on each such occasion.

The Special Committee held a number of meetings in this connection, and by means of a Press Note invited suggestions from the general public as well. A large number of persons and organisations sent their suggestions to the Committee and it examined them in detail. The Committee was of the view that, besides the procedural loop-holes in the Rent Laws, paucity of judicial officers is also a major cause of delay in the disposal of rent cases. While considering, therefore, amendments in the Rent Laws the fact that there should be sufficient judicial manpower to administer those laws should not be lost sight of.
