Case Number Civil Petition for Special Leave to Appeal Nos. 12
Decision Date Oct 08, 1980
Hearing Date Oct 08, 1985
Decision The Supreme Court dismissed the petitions of Ghulam Muhammad seeking leave to appeal against the Lahore High Court's decision regarding 31 Marlas of land gifted by Sain Ghulam Muhammad. The Court found that there was no significant legal question raised and that the petitioner was merely seeking a reappraisal of the evidence presented in the case. As a result, both petitions were deemed unfit for grant of leave and thus were dismissed.
Summary In the case of Ghulam Muhammad vs. Sardar Muhammad, the Supreme Court of Pakistan dealt with a civil petition for special leave to appeal regarding a dispute over land gifted by Sain Ghulam Muhammad. The core issue revolved around the division of 31 Marlas of land, where both parties were dissatisfied with the High Court's ruling that allocated half of the land to each. The Supreme Court, upon review, determined that no significant question of law was presented in the petition. The court emphasized that the petitioner was seeking a re-evaluation of the evidence rather than raising a new legal point, leading to the dismissal of the petitions. This case highlights the importance of presenting substantial legal questions for the Court's consideration when seeking leave to appeal. Keywords include 'land dispute', 'Supreme Court of Pakistan', 'civil petition', 'legal questions', and 'evidence reappraisal'.
