Judgment ORDER ' MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.-- This petition for leave to appeal arises out of a land settlement case. The controversy relates to the inheritance of one Lakha who died in India. Petitioners are the legal representatives of Kamala a son of Lakha. Mst. Fatima now represented by her legal representatives,(the respondents) was held by the Settlement authorities to be sister of Kamala and thus entitled to a share stated to be with reference to Rehmat a brother of Kamala who died issueless in Pakistan. ' The petitioners challenges in the High Court through writ petition regarding Mst. Fatima's parentage and thus her right to inherit, having failed they have now sought leave to appeal. When called upon to satisfy us regarding any infirmity legal or otherwise on the real question of fact relating to the identity and parentage of Mst. Fatima, the learned counsel failed to urge any point worth consideration. He instead tried to raise technical points which were duly attended to by the High Court. We do not, therefore, consider it a fit case for grant of leave to appeal, which is accordingly refused.
