Judgment ORDER ' GHULAM MUJADDID, J.--This petition for leave to appeal by Attaur Rehman and another against the judgment of the Lahore High Court dated 7-2-1989 pertains to the custody of Nazimur Rehman.

Even the High Cc -I in its Constitution jurisdiction confirmed the order of the Guardian Judge as well as Additional District Judge. The High Court kept in view the welfare of the minor which is of paramount consideration as well as the Muslim Personal Law. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. We don't think any of the Courts below committed any illegality in giving the custody of the minor to mother. Dismissed.
