| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the petitioners' civil revision, affirming the decisions of the trial and appellate courts which had decreed the suit for possession filed by the respondent, Mst. Sardar Begum. The court found that the petitioners had unlawfully encroached upon land owned by the respondent, and the evidence presented by the respondent was credible and not successfully rebutted by the petitioners. The concurrent findings of fact by the lower courts were upheld, and the High Court ruled that the petitioners' arguments regarding the legality of the mutation and demarcation were without merit. The petitioners failed to demonstrate any rights over the disputed land through either ownership or adverse possession, leading to the dismissal of their revision petition. |
| Summary |
In the case of Civil Revision No. 25 of 1990, the Lahore High Court addressed a dispute regarding the possession of land between the petitioners and the respondent, Mst. Sardar Begum. The respondent claimed ownership of the land based on a registered sale-deed and subsequent mutation in the Revenue Record, while the petitioners argued that the mutation was improperly sanctioned and did not confer title. The court examined the evidence, including the demarcation report and witness testimonies. It was determined that the petitioners had encroached upon the respondent's property, and the findings of the trial and appellate courts were supported by sound reasoning. The petitioners' revision was dismissed, confirming the lower courts' rulings. This case highlights issues of property rights, encroachment, and the legal standards for establishing ownership through mutation and possession. |
