| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the revision petition, stating that the absence of the petitioner's counsel due to professional engagements was not a valid ground for adjournment. The court emphasized that lawyers must make arrangements for their cases during their absence. The petitioner's claim over the attached properties was rejected due to lack of evidence. The executing judge found no merit in the claim, as the petitioner failed to produce receipts or any supporting evidence to substantiate ownership of the claimed items. The court maintained that substantial justice was achieved by upholding the decree for the destitute lady, Mst. Sakina Bibi. The revision petition was dismissed as it lacked substance. |
| Summary |
The case revolves around a civil revision petition concerning the execution of a decree for recovery of dowry articles.

The absence of the petitioner's counsel was not accepted as a valid reason for adjournment, highlighting the responsibility of lawyers to manage their cases effectively.
