Decision The revision petition was dismissed based on the failure of the petitioner to produce the original agreement to sell and the lack of evidence supporting the claim of its loss. The trial Court found that the original document was intentionally withheld and that the petitioner did not comply with the mandatory provisions of the Civil Procedure Code regarding the production of documents. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to procedural rules to ensure the integrity of the judicial process.
Summary In the case of C.R. No. 121 of 1994, the Lahore High Court addressed a revision petition concerning the dismissal of an application for the production of secondary evidence related to an agreement to sell. The petitioner, Mutali, sought specific performance against the respondent, Manzoora, after the latter sold a portion of the land to a third party. The Court noted the procedural failures of the petitioner, including the non-production of key documents and witnesses, which led to the conclusion that the original agreement was not genuinely lost. The decision highlights the significance of compliance with legal procedures, particularly in civil suits involving specific performance claims. The ruling serves as a reminder to litigants and their advocates about the necessity of adhering to the Civil Procedure Code, ensuring that all necessary documents are presented timely to avoid allegations of collusion or fabrication. The Court's dismissal of the revision petition reinforces the principle that procedural compliance is essential for upholding the integrity of legal proceedings.
