JUDGMENT
Reported As: 1997 SCMR 1526 Result: Leave refused Judgment JUDGMENT ZIA MAHMOOD MIRZA. J.---Learned Judges of the High Court have found on to occasions that the compromise said to have been effected between the parties was not quite valid. The learned Judges in their order dated 29-9-1996 observed that the statements of the father and mother of the deceased were made "under undue influence and due to the fear of Chazanfar Abbas Shah (Peer)". This finding is not open to any exception and we do not find it a fit case for interference by this Court. This petition is accordingly dismissed with the observation that the petitioners, if so advised, may again approach the High Court with the request that the statements of the legal heirs of the deceased may) be recorded in the Court.
