Purpose: To restrain a landlord from taking illegal possession of his flat through civil court.

Forum:                   Senior  Civil Judge.

Parties/titled:      Tenant vs landlord

Suit for Declaration and Permanent Injunction

Respectfully Sheweth:-

That the plaintiff is law abiding citizen of Pakistan and enjoying respectable life in the vicinity.

That on 01.12.2017, the plaintiff took a Flat No. E-1, Street No. 54, Block-F, Sector F-6/4, Islamabad from the defendant on monthly rent of Rs. 18,000/- per month, for a period of one year extendable and on the same day a written tenancy agreement was also executed between the plaintiff and defendant which is still intact (copy of tenancy agreement is annexed herewith). 

That the plaintiff also paid Rs. 18,000/- (one month rent) in advance as security and is paying the monthly rent of the above said flat to the defendant regularly as without any delay or default.

That now the defendant intends to get vacate the suit flat from the plaintiff illegally, forcibly and without due process of law despite knowing this fact that the tenancy agreement is still intact and there is no any default on behalf of the plaintiff.

The plaintiff is not only paying the monthly rent but also tendering the utility bills and other dues of the suit flat and nothing is outstanding against the plaintiff towards the defendant in connection of the suit flat. It is worthwhile to mention here that the defendant intends to earlies eviction of the suit flat and not giving a reasonable time period for arranging another compound wherein the plaintiff can take shelter, which act of the defendant is totally against the prevailing tenancy rules and law.

That the plaintiff asked the defendant to refrain from his illegal and unlawful designs but despite to accede the legitimate request of the plaintiff, the defendant started extending threats of dire consequences to the plaintiff in order to take the possession of the suit flat forcibly and illegally, hence this suit.

That the cause of action accrued to the plaintiff two days ago when the defendant tried to get vacated the suit flat from the plaintiff illegally, forcibly and without due process of law and the same is continuing day by day.

That the cause of action accrued at Islamabad, the suit flat is also situated in Islamabad, hence this Hon’ble court has jurisdiction to try and adjudicate upon the matter.

That the value of the suit for the purposes of court fee and jurisdiction fixed Rs. 15,000/- which is exempted from the levy of court fee.

PRAYER:

In view of the above circumstances, it is, most respectfully prayed that a decree for declaration to the  effect that  the plaintiff is lawful tenant in the suit flat and the defendant has no right to take the possession of suit flat from the plaintiff without due process of law and a decree for permanent injunction restraining the defendant from interfering into the peaceful possession of the plaintiff over the suit flat as tenant and from taking the possession of the suit flat from the plaintiff illegally, forcibly and without due process of law and also extending threats of dire consequences to the plaintiff and from harassing, humiliating and pressurizing the plaintiff in any manner whatsoever may kindly be passed in favour of the plaintiff and against the defendant with costs.
