Case Number Civil Petition for Leave to Appeal No. 1973/L of 1
Decision Date Jul 10, 2002
Hearing Date
Decision The Supreme Court of Pakistan declined to interfere with the concurrent findings of fact recorded by the lower courts, affirming their decisions regarding the ownership of the suit-land. The petitioners' appeal was dismissed, and the Court found no fault in the evidence appreciation conducted by the trial court and the appellate court. The petition for leave to appeal was thus refused, and the earlier decrees were upheld.
Summary In the case of Taj Din vs. Taj Din, the Supreme Court of Pakistan dealt with a dispute over ownership of land, where the petitioner contended illegal alienation through a gift deed. The court examined evidence from both parties, including oral testimonies and documentary proof. The trial court's findings were upheld by the appellate court, leading to the petitioners' appeal being dismissed. The case emphasizes the importance of credible evidence in property disputes and the courts' reluctance to overturn concurrent findings of fact. This case is significant for legal practitioners dealing with land ownership issues and property rights under the Specific Relief Act and the Constitution of Pakistan.
