Case Number Civil Revision No. 137-D of 1981
Decision Date Dec 19, 1982
Hearing Date
Decision The Lahore High Court dismissed the Civil Revision No. 137-D of 1981, affirming the lower courts' decisions which found that the petitioners failed to prove ownership of the disputed properties. The court noted that the property in question had not been treated as evacuee property since 1952 and emphasized that the plaintiffs did not provide sufficient legal evidence to establish their ownership. The findings of the lower courts were upheld, and the revision petition was dismissed without any order as to costs.
Summary The case revolves around the ownership dispute over several properties situated in Khasra No. 610, Multan. The petitioners, led by Falak Sher, claimed ownership based on historical occupancy and previous declarations by custodians regarding the non-evacuee status of the properties. However, the court found that the petitioners did not substantiate their claims with adequate legal evidence, leading to the dismissal of their revision petitions. The case highlights issues of property rights, the complexities of evacuee property laws, and the importance of presenting credible evidence in ownership disputes. Keywords: property dispute, ownership rights, Lahore High Court, evacuee property, legal evidence.
