| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the petition filed by Fareed Ahmad against the judgment of the Lahore High Court, which had upheld the concurrent findings of the lower courts. The case revolved around a dispute over property ownership and the legality of transfer documents issued by the Settlement Commissioner. The Court determined that the petitioner had failed to prove any merit in his claims, especially since the evidence presented was adequately scrutinized by both the High Court and the lower courts. The petitioner had sought leave to appeal, claiming that the Civil Court lacked jurisdiction, but the Supreme Court concluded that the lower courts acted correctly in their decisions based on the evidence available. The concurrent findings of fact were upheld, and the petition was dismissed as meritless. |
| Summary |
In the case of Fareed Ahmad vs. Muhammad Amin, the Supreme Court of Pakistan dealt with a civil petition for leave to appeal concerning property rights and the jurisdiction of civil courts under the Specific Relief Act and the Displaced Persons (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Act. The petitioner, Fareed Ahmad, contested the legality of the Lahore High Court's decision that upheld the lower courts' rulings in favor of Muhammad Amin. The case highlighted issues of property ownership, particularly regarding a disputed property purchased in an auction. The Supreme Court found that the evidence had been thoroughly examined by the lower courts, and no misreading of evidence was demonstrated. The ruling emphasized the importance of adhering to legal procedures and the jurisdiction established under the relevant laws, ultimately dismissing the petition due to lack of merit.
