Case Number Civil Petition for Leave to Appeal No. 1131 of 198
Decision Date Jan 19, 1987
Hearing Date Jan 19, 1987
Decision The Supreme Court of Pakistan denied leave to appeal against the decision made by the Lahore High Court. The Court found that the disputed property claimed by the petitioner had been previously transferred to the respondent. The petitioner did not apply for transfer under the relevant Settlement Schemes, and therefore the findings of fact were upheld, leading to the dismissal of the appeal. The Court concluded that no case had been established for interference with the lower court's ruling.
Summary In the case of Muhammad Ibrahim vs. Muhammad Ishaq, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed issues related to property transfer under various laws including the Constitution of Pakistan, Law Reforms Ordinance, and the Displaced Persons Act. The Court reviewed the findings of the Lahore High Court regarding the transfer of property and the applicability of Settlement Schemes. The judges concluded that the petitioner did not have a valid claim as the property was already transferred to the respondent. The decision emphasized the importance of adhering to legal procedures in property claims and the limitations of appealing factual findings. This case underscores the complexities of property law and the necessity for individuals to follow proper channels when seeking transfers or claims.
