Case Number Civil Revision No. T-37 of 2017
Decision Date Jan 15, 2018
Hearing Date Dec 08, 2017
Decision The court dismissed the civil revision petition filed by Muhammad Hanif against the judgments and decrees of the lower courts. The petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence to substantiate his claim of ownership of the disputed land, which he alleged was purchased through a sale deed. The court noted that the petitioner did not produce any marginal witnesses or the alleged sale deed itself, and the evidence presented did not meet the legal requirements for proving ownership. Consequently, the judgments of the lower courts were upheld, and the revision was dismissed in limine.
Summary In the case of Civil Revision No. T-37 of 2017, heard by the Balochistan High Court, the petitioner Muhammad Hanif sought a declaration regarding ownership of certain land based on an alleged sale deed from 1982. The court found that the petitioner could not substantiate his claims, lacking necessary witnesses and documentation. The court reaffirmed the importance of adhering to legal standards of evidence, particularly under the Qanun-e-Shahadat (10 of 1984) and Section 79, which requires proper proof of documents in civil matters. This case underscores the critical role of documentation in property disputes and the need for litigants to present compelling evidence to establish their claims. Keywords relevant to this case include property ownership, civil revision, evidentiary standards, and legal documentation.
