| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the civil revision filed by the petitioners-plaintiffs, affirming the decisions of the lower courts. The court found that the plaintiffs failed to prove their relationship with the deceased owner of the property. The evidence presented, including an application for additional evidence, was deemed inadmissible as it was not submitted during the trial or first appellate stages. The court concluded that the concurrent findings of the lower courts were valid and based on proper appreciation of the evidence, leading to the dismissal of the case without costs. |
| Summary |
In the case of Civil Revision No. 2544 of 2000, the Lahore High Court addressed a dispute regarding inheritance rights under the Specific Relief Act, 1877, and related legal frameworks. The petitioners, claiming to be the legal heirs of the deceased Mst. Shakoran Bibi, sought a declaration of their entitlement to a share of the property. The case highlighted the importance of credible evidence in inheritance claims, emphasizing that mere assertions of relationship without substantiating evidence are insufficient. The court reiterated the need for witnesses who are not only related but also credible and familiar with the matters at hand. The revision was dismissed due to the lack of admissible evidence and established relationships, underscoring the rigorous standards required in civil litigation related to property and inheritance disputes. This case serves as a significant reference for future inheritance claims and the procedural requirements for presenting evidence in court. |
