Decision Date Jun 10, 2010
Hearing Date
Decision The Lahore High Court dismissed the petitioners' revision against the judgments and decrees of the lower courts, which had found in favor of the respondents in a suit for recovery of possession under the Specific Relief Act. The courts below established that the memorandum of exchange was acted upon, and the petitioners were unable to demonstrate otherwise. The concurrent findings of fact were upheld, and the petition was deemed to lack merit.
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.
