The Supreme Court dismissed the petition for leave to appeal against the judgment of the Lahore High Court which had upheld the decree of the lower courts in favor of the plaintiff, Mst. Aisha, who alleged that the disputed mutation was fraudulently obtained by her brother, the petitioner. The Court found that both lower courts had thoroughly examined the evidence and provided sound reasoning for their decisions. The petitioner failed to present a compelling case for interference by the Supreme Court, leading to the dismissal of the appeal. |
