Civil Revision No.3 of 1991 |
| Decision Date |
Dec 07, 1998 |
| Hearing Date |
Nov 03, 1998 |
| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the revision petition, confirming the lower appellate court's findings, which established the entitlement of the respondents to inherit the estate of Veeru deceased. The court upheld that the decree dated 26-11-1979 was not binding on the respondents as they were not parties to that suit. The court emphasized that the revision was not maintainable since the issues raised did not affect the jurisdiction of the court. Ultimately, the judgments of the lower courts were upheld, reinforcing the legal heirs' rights and dismissing the revision as an attempt to challenge a finalized decision. |
| Summary |
The case revolves around inheritance rights concerning the estate of Veeru. The Lahore High Court addressed the legal complexities surrounding the claims of the parties involved, particularly focusing on the maintainability of the revision petition filed by Fateh Muhammad and others against the findings of the lower courts. The court reiterated that in the absence of a challenge to the trial court's findings, which had attained finality, the revision petition lacked merit. The ruling reinforced the principles of inheritance law, emphasizing the significance of being a party to prior proceedings. This case highlights the critical importance of procedural adherence in civil litigation, particularly in relation to inheritance disputes, and serves as a precedent for future cases where the rights of legal heirs are contested. Key terms include inheritance rights, civil procedure, legal heirs, maintainability of revision, and judicial finality, making this case a notable reference in family law and civil procedure contexts. |
