| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the petition filed by Zafar Muhammad against the judgment of the Lahore High Court, which had affirmed the decision of the First Appellate Court that ruled in favor of Mst. Anwar Bibi. The court found that the petitioner had failed to prove the validity of the alleged gift of land from the respondent to him, as there was no evidence of delivery of possession or proof of acceptance of the gift. The identification of the respondent at the time of mutation was also deemed questionable. Consequently, the court upheld the lower court's finding that no valid gift had been made. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around a dispute regarding the alleged gift of land under Islamic law. Mst. Anwar Bibi claimed ownership of the land and argued that Zafar Muhammad, her husband, had fabricated a gift document to transfer the land to himself. The courts found deficiencies in the evidence presented by Zafar Muhammad, particularly regarding the delivery of possession and the validity of the gift. The Supreme Court ultimately upheld the lower courts' decisions, emphasizing the importance of clear evidence in matters of property transfer. Keywords such as 'Islamic Law', 'gift of land', 'property dispute', and 'legal evidence' are central to this case, reflecting trending legal topics. |
