Civil Petitions for Special Leave to Appeal Nos. 7 |
Decision Date |
Nov 22, 1983 |
Hearing Date |
Nov 22, 1983 |
Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the petitions for special leave to appeal, concluding that the objections raised by the petitioners against the execution of the pre-emption decree were without merit. The court found that the petitioners did not raise any significant questions of law that warranted further examination. The objections were based on claims of ownership and possession that were ultimately unsubstantiated, as the land in question was recognized as evacuee property. The court upheld the decisions of the lower courts, reinforcing the legitimacy of the pre-emption decree obtained by the respondents. |
Summary |
In the case of NABI KHAN AND others Vs. GHULAM MURTAZA AND another, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed the execution of a pre-emption decree under Article 185(3) of the Constitution of Pakistan (1973). The petitioners, who were unsuccessful objectors, challenged the execution, claiming ownership of the land based on their long-term possession. However, the court determined that the land was evacuee property and had been lawfully allotted to the predecessor of the respondents. The court's thorough examination concluded that the petitioners' claims were without merit, leading to a dismissal of their petitions. This case highlights the complexities of property law in the context of pre-emption and the rights of tenants versus owners, making it a significant reference point for similar legal disputes in Pakistan. |
