| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the petitions for leave to appeal against the judgment dated 29-4-1999 of the Lahore High Court. The case involved the allotment of roofs of shops, with concurrent findings of fact established by the lower courts. The petitioners claimed rights over the roofs of shops that were allotted separately to the respondents but failed to substantiate their claims. The Court found that the documentary evidence did not support the petitioners' assertions, leading to the conclusion that no merit existed in the petition and thus, leave to appeal was refused. |
| Summary |
In the case of Mst. GHAFOORAN BIBI and others vs. GHULAM HUSSAIN and others, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed the complex issues surrounding the Displaced Persons (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Act of 1958 and the Constitution of Pakistan's provisions. The case revolved around the rights to roofs of shops that were claimed by the petitioners to be part of their residential property. However, after thorough examination, the court upheld the decisions of lower courts, citing that the petitioners had not sufficiently proven their claims. The judgments of the lower courts were based on documentary evidence that clearly outlined the separation of rights between the residential property and the shops. This ruling is significant for understanding property rights and the legal interpretations surrounding the rehabilitation of displaced persons in Pakistan. |
