| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the revision petition filed by the petitioner, Muhammad Saif Ullah, against the concurrent findings of the lower courts regarding the assessment of market value for a commercial plot. The court noted that the petitioner failed to demonstrate any jurisdictional defects, material irregularities, or gross illegality in the previous judgments. The court reiterated that concurrent findings of lower courts should not be interfered with unless a clear legal basis is established. The court upheld the decision of the price assessment committee of the Lahore Development Authority (LDA), affirming that the market value of the plot was assessed in accordance with the law. |
| Summary |
In the case C.R. No. 211935 of 2018, the Lahore High Court dealt with a revision petition concerning the assessment of market value for a commercial plot in Lahore. The petitioner, Muhammad Saif Ullah, challenged the decisions of the Civil Judge and Additional District Judge, which dismissed his objection petition against the LDA's assessment. The main contention was that the assessment was based on an inflated market price not reflective of the actual value of the plot as of 2003. The court found that the petitioner failed to substantiate claims of any malfeasance in the LDA's assessment, and the concurrent findings of the lower courts were upheld. The ruling emphasized the importance of adhering to legal standards in property valuation and the limitations of revisional jurisdiction under the Civil Procedure Code. This case highlights critical issues in property law, particularly in commercial real estate assessments, and serves as a precedent for future disputes involving valuation and jurisdictional challenges. |
