ORDER

1. MUHAMMAD AFZAL CHEEMA, .J.‑--‑ The petitioner and the respondent who are widows of Raja Muhammad Afzal alias Raja Kalu Khan deceased, are litigating over the possession of House No. 73;9, B‑Block, Gujar Khan. The petitioner's suit for declaration that she is in possession of the house as a co‑sharer is pending before the Civil Judge, who rejected her application for temporary injunction. She succeeded before the District Judge in appeal but the learned Judge in High Court accepted the revision filed by the respondent. Feeling aggrieved by the re‑call of the temporary injunction, ride order dated 19‑I1‑1975, she has moved this petition for special leave to appeal.

2. Apparently finding it difficult to challenge the order of the High Court made in exercise of its discretionary revisional jurisdiction, learned counsel feebly contended before us that the High Court was not justified in reversing the order of the District Judge.

3. Having perused the impugned judgment, we find that the District Judge had brushed aside a registered sale deed in respect of the disputed house placed on the record by the respondent purporting to show that her late husband had transferred the house in her favour. The view taken by the High Court was that this document could not be lost sight of merely on account of the challenge to its genuineness as at any rate the finding required to be given at this stage was to be merely tentative in nature and the document was goad enough to justify the inference of a prima facie case in favour of the respondent. The petition is completely devoid of force and is hereby dismissed.

4. Petition dismissed.
