The High Court upheld the findings of the lower courts, which had dismissed the appellant's claims based on concurrent factual findings.

Summary In the case of Regular Second Appeal No.35 of 2006, the Lahore High Court addressed a dispute over a loan amounting to Rs.5,59,891.20 claimed by Mst. Saeeda Akhtar Sadiq against Tauqir Akhtar. The court considered the implications of the Civil Procedure Code (V of 1908) regarding the framing of issues and the responsibilities of the parties in ensuring that proper issues are raised during trial. The court held that the appellant failed to object to the issue framing during the trial and thus could not raise this issue on appeal. Furthermore, the court confirmed that the lower courts had made concurrent findings of fact that were not based on misreading of evidence. The High Court dismissed the appeal, ruling that the suit was barred by the limitation period as defined under the Limitation Act (IX of 1908), specifically Article 59, which states that the limitation for filing a suit for recovery of a loan is three years from the date the loan was made. This case underscores the significance of adhering to procedural requirements and the importance of timely action in legal proceedings to avoid dismissal on grounds of limitation.
