Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Aslam Riaz Hussain, Saad Saood Jan Title: Mst. AKHTAR BIBI And Others vs MANSOOR AHMAD MALIK And Other Case No.: Civil Petition for Leave to Appeal No. 837 of 1986 Petition No. 1647/R of 1976 Date of Judgment:1987-06-03 Reported As: 1987 SCMR 1425 Result: Petition dismissed
Judgment ORDER SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.--The dispute in this petition relates to a house situate in Krishan Nagar, Lahore. It has been transferred by the settlement authorities to respondents Nos.2 and 3 in preference to Habibullah, predecessor-in-interest of the petitioners. There are findings of the settlement authorities that the house was indivisible and that the possession of respondents Nos.2 and 3 was prior in point of time to that of Habibullah. It may be mentioned that respondents Nos.2 and 3 as well as Habibullah were claimants. The High Court in writ jurisdiction has found no infirmity in the above-noted findings of the settlement authorities; that being so, its refusal to interfere with the transfer made in favour of respondents Nos.2 and 3 was only proper. This petition is without any merit and is hereby dismissed.
