| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the revision petition filed by the petitioners challenging the concurrent findings of the lower courts regarding ownership of the disputed land. The petitioners failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove their ownership, and the High Court noted that it could not reappraise evidence in its revisional jurisdiction. The courts below had rightly concluded that the petitioners did not establish their claim, and thus the appeal was dismissed with no order as to costs. |
| Summary |
In the case of Civil Revision No.2355 of 1986 heard on May 21, 1999, the Lahore High Court addressed a dispute over land ownership under the Specific Relief Act of 1877. The petitioners, led by Bahadur Ali, sought possession of a 5 Marlas land claiming ownership based on customary agreements with the respondents. However, the courts below found that the petitioners failed to produce credible evidence supporting their claim. The High Court emphasized the importance of cogent evidence in establishing ownership and upheld the lower courts' decisions. This case highlights the legal principles surrounding land possession disputes and the evidentiary standards required to succeed in such claims. Keywords such as 'land ownership', 'possession dispute', and 'legal evidence' are central to understanding the case's implications. |
