| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan upheld the decision of the Lahore High Court regarding the custody of a car that was the subject of a dispute between the petitioner and the complainant. The petitioner claimed ownership of the car based on a transfer deed, while the complainant alleged that the petitioner forged documents to obtain it. The Supreme Court declined to interfere with the trial court's decision on the custody of the car and directed the trial court to resolve the dispute after hearing both parties and examining relevant documents. During this interim period, the court allowed the complainant to retain the car, contingent upon her providing surety bonds. |
