Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Muhammad Afzal Zullah, Abdul Qadir Sheikh Title:Mst. HUSSAN ARA BEGUM And Others vs Messrs Haji ALLAH DITTA BARKAT ALI
And Other Case No.:Civil Petition for Special Leave to Appeal No. 744 of 1983 Writ Petition No. 2705 of 1982 Date of Judgment:1985-11-19 Reported As: 1986 SCMR 1101 Result: I. Judgment ORDER MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.--Leave to appeal has been sought from judgment, dated 20-2-1983 of the Lahore High Court; whereby a Constitutional Petition filed by the petitioners (regarding ejectment of respondent No. 1 from a shop) against the judgment passed by the District Judge, Gujrat, was dismissed. Learned counsel has assailed the decision of the High Court on the ground that the evidence has not been properly read or it has been ignored. The same argument was repelled by the High Court by the following observation:-- "In this case misreading has been used as a misnomer for erroneous appreciation of evidence since all the times the learned counsel has addressed as to the conclusions from the evidence. The matter has been decided by the learned District Judge after discussing the full evidence. Now what particular weight has been attached by him to different pieces of evidence is not the job of this Court to scrutinize." The approach of the High Court is unexceptionable. It has rightly refused to reappraise the evidence in its Constitutional jurisdiction. This petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. However, the petitioners would be at liberty to institute fresh petition on grounds including of default and personal requirement; because as stated, new situations have arisen regarding these grounds. With these observations leave to appeal is refused.
