Case Number Civil Revision No.1619 of 2007
Decision Date May 27, 2008
Hearing Date May 07, 2008
Decision The Lahore High Court dismissed the civil revision filed by the petitioner, Mehboob Ahmad, against the concurrent findings of the trial court and appellate court. The petitioner alleged that his son, Fakhar-uz-Zaman, defrauded him of agricultural land through alleged oral gifts. However, the court found that the petitioner had attested mutations in favor of his sons with his free consent, and there was no evidence to support the claim of fraud. The court upheld the findings of both lower courts, emphasizing that there was a very limited scope for interference in the exercise of its revisional jurisdiction.
Summary This case revolves around a family dispute regarding the ownership of agricultural land. The petitioner, a father, claimed that his son defrauded him by obtaining ownership through oral gifts. The court examined the evidence, including the attestation of mutations, and found that the petitioner had consented to the transactions. The court highlighted that the notion of fraud was not substantiated and that the lower courts had provided well-reasoned decisions. The case underscores the importance of clear evidence in disputes involving family transactions and the limitations of the court's revisional powers under the Civil Procedure Code.
