GHULAM RASOOL son of KALU vs GHULAM RASOOL and others

This matter concerns a petition for leave to appeal against the concurrent findings of the lower courts and the High Court regarding a dispute over land ownership. The petitioner, claiming to be the owner in possession of suit-land measuring 1 Kanal and 15 Marlas as a co-sharer in a joint Khata, challenged the dismissal of his suit. The core legal questions presented for the Court's consideration involve allegations of misreading and non-reading of evidence by the subordinate courts, and whether the orders previously passed by the Revenue Authorities operate as res judicata under the relevant provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Supreme Court, having heard the initial contentions regarding the petitioner's status as a co-sharer and the legal effect of the revenue orders, granted leave to appeal to examine these submissions in detail. The case establishes the necessity for the appellate court to review whether the lower courts erred in their evidentiary assessment and whether the principle of res judicata applies to the specific orders issued by Revenue Authorities in the context of joint Khata land disputes.
