| Decision |
The petition was dismissed as it was devoid of merits. The concurrent findings of the lower courts were upheld, indicating that the petitioner's conduct during the trial was questionable, including frequent absences without justifiable reasons. The court emphasized that unless a decision is patently illegal or made without jurisdiction, interference in such orders is typically avoided. The trial court was directed to expedite the resolution of the main case within four months. |
| Summary |
In the case of W.P. No. 21150 of 2018, heard by the Lahore High Court, the petitioner challenged the validity of orders made by the Senior Civil Judge and Additional District Judge, Faisalabad regarding a suit for specific performance and permanent injunction. The petitioner, Muhammad Amin Shah, claimed that an oral sale agreement had been made for a constructed house, but his signatures and thumb impressions were disputed. The court found that the petitioner had not effectively challenged the concurrent findings of the lower courts, which accepted the respondent's application for comparison of signatures. The judgment emphasized the importance of proper conduct in legal proceedings and reiterated that interference in lower court decisions requires clear evidence of illegality or jurisdictional error. This case highlights the significance of maintaining integrity in legal processes while addressing issues of contract enforcement and the verification of signatures in civil disputes. |
