Decision The Lahore High Court disposed of the appeals R.F.A. No.92 of 2003, R.F.A. No.93 of 2003, R.F.A. No.351 of 2003, and R.F.A. No.398 of 2003 collectively.

Maqsooda Ijaz was also addressed, leading to the conclusion that there was no further issue between the parties in that appeal. The judgment highlighted the procedural aspects of financial recovery and the importance of factual determinations in such cases.
