| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the petition filed by the Petitioners who claimed entitlement to a residential unit in a composite property. The Court found that the claims had already been adjudicated at multiple levels, and the evidence presented did not warrant a reappraisal. The findings of the Deputy Settlement Commissioner and the Additional Settlement Commissioner were upheld, confirming that all units of the property had been disposed of under an earlier settlement scheme. The Court ruled that the Petitioners' appeal had no merit and was misconceived. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around a civil petition for special leave to appeal concerning the entitlement of residential units in a property located in Lyallpur. The Petitioners, descendants of Qasim Khan and Kubra Begum, sought to reclaim residential units they believed were rightfully theirs under Settlement Scheme No. VIII. The Supreme Court of Pakistan, presided over by Chief Justice Hamoodur Rehman and Justices Muhammad Gul and Abdul Kadir Shaikh, found that the Petitioners' claims were repetitive and had been conclusively dismissed at earlier stages by the Deputy Settlement Commissioner and the Lahore High Court. The Court emphasized that the evidence showed all residential and commercial units had been transferred long before, leaving no grounds for the Petitioners' claims. This ruling highlights the importance of adhering to legal processes and the finality of administrative decisions in property disputes.
