Facts of the Case
Background
Three applicants who entered into lease agreements with Rufaro Marketing (Pvt) Ltd sublet portions of their premises with approval from the respondent's former CEO. After new management took over in 2023, they directed sub-tenants to pay rent directly to the respondent, bypassing the applicants. The applicants sought a declaratory order that these actions were unlawful.
