Case Number Civil Revision No. 75 of 2022
Decision Date Mar 07, 2023
Hearing Date Feb 28, 2023
Decision The Chief Court upheld the concurrent findings of the lower courts, affirming that the petitioners had failed to produce credible evidence to support their claims against the plaintiffs. The decision emphasized that the trial and appellate courts had correctly evaluated the evidence presented, and the plaintiffs had established their ownership of the suit property through reliable witness testimony. As a result, the revision petition was dismissed, confirming the validity of the lower courts' judgments and decrees.
Summary In the case of AHLIYAN-E-PISSAN through Representatives vs. FIDA ALI and others, the Gilgit Baltistan Chief Court reviewed a civil revision petition concerning ownership and possession of land. The petitioners, represented by Ghulam Muhammad, contested the lower courts' decisions that favored the plaintiffs, asserting their rights over the land. The trial court had ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, establishing them as bona fide owners based on testimonies from local witnesses, which were not successfully challenged by the petitioners. This case highlights the importance of credible evidence in property disputes and the adherence to procedural law in civil cases. The court reinforced the principle that concurrent findings of fact by lower courts are typically upheld unless a clear error is demonstrated. The ruling is significant in affirming property rights and the integrity of judicial findings in civil matters.
