| Decision |
The writ petition was dismissed as devoid of any merit, affirming the lower courts' findings. The Judge Family Court had rightly decreed the amount of Rs. 450,000/- to the respondent based on the evidence presented regarding dowry articles. The petitioner failed to prove that the dowry articles had been returned, and the assessment of the value was within the court's jurisdiction. The ruling emphasized the importance of credible evidence in family court proceedings, reinforcing the decision of the lower appellate court. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around a constitutional petition filed under Article 199 of the Constitution of Pakistan, 1973, challenging the decision of the Judge Family Court regarding the dissolution of marriage, maintenance allowance, and dowry articles. The petitioner contested the lower court's findings, claiming that the dowry articles had been returned, and thus the decree was unwarranted. However, the court found that the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to support this claim. The Judge Family Court had made a reasonable assessment of the dowry articles' value, awarding Rs. 450,000/- after considering depreciation. The court's ruling reflects the complexities surrounding family law, particularly in matters of dowry and maintenance, and underscores the necessity of presenting credible evidence in such cases. This case is significant for its implications on the handling of dowry disputes and the enforcement of maintenance orders in family courts. Keywords include 'family law', 'dowry articles', 'maintenance allowance', and 'constitutional petition'. |
