Case Number Civil Revision No.200 of 2006
Decision Date Apr 01, 2008
Hearing Date Apr 01, 2008
Decision The Lahore High Court dismissed the Civil Revision, affirming the concurrent decrees of the Trial Court and Appellate Court that favored the plaintiff's claim for possession of the suit-land. The defendant's admission of the plaintiff's title and arguments regarding the legality of the demarcation report were found insufficient to overturn the lower courts' decisions. The court emphasized the validity of the Revenue Record and the absence of evidence suggesting that the land was urban, thus supporting the Revenue Officer's jurisdiction in conducting the demarcation.
Summary In this case, the Lahore High Court dealt with a dispute over land ownership and possession under the Specific Relief Act. The plaintiff, Inayat Hussain Shah, claimed that the defendant, Ibrahim, encroached upon his land as per a demarcation report. Both the Trial Court and the Appellate Court had ruled in favor of the plaintiff, leading to the defendant's appeal in the High Court. The High Court upheld the lower courts' decisions, confirming the plaintiff's ownership and the legality of the demarcation report while dismissing claims about the urban status of the land. This case highlights the importance of proper documentation and adherence to the law in property disputes.
