| Summary |
In the case of Civil Revision No. 2194 of 2010, presided over by Justice Mamoon Rashid Sheikh at the Lahore High Court, the petitioners, led by Muhammad Aslam, contested the decisions made by the Civil Judge and the Additional District Judge in Shakargarh regarding a suit for recovery of possession based on the Specific Relief Act of 1877. The core issue revolved around a memorandum of exchange executed in 1991, which the petitioners claimed was not acted upon, leading to a dispute over land ownership. The courts below found that the exchange had indeed been executed, and the petitioners had forcibly dispossessed the respondents from the property. The High Court upheld these findings, concluding that the petition lacked sufficient evidence to overturn the decisions of the lower courts. This case highlights the importance of documented agreements in property disputes and the challenges petitioners face when attempting to reverse concurrent findings of fact. Keywords: Specific Relief Act, property ownership, legal dispute, Lahore High Court, memorandum of exchange. |
