GHULAM DASTGIR and 3 others vs JAMAL DIN and 3 others

This matter concerns a petition for leave to appeal against a judgment of the High Court, which had accepted a civil revision filed by the respondents. The underlying dispute originated from a suit for declaration filed by the respondents, who challenged the validity of an alienation of property made by their predecessor-in-interest, one Naiki, in favour of the petitioners, alleging the transfer deed was fake and forged. The trial court initially decreed the suit in favor of the respondents, finding that the predecessor-in-interest had died during the partition disturbances long before the alleged execution of the transfer deed. Although the petitioners' appeal was initially successful, the High Court subsequently restored the trial court's decree upon revision. The Supreme Court heard arguments from both sides and determined that the controversy regarding the genuineness of the alienation was a matter of fact that had already been concluded by the lower courts. Finding the impugned findings of fact to be unexceptionable, the Supreme Court refused the petition for leave to appeal, holding that the case was not a fit matter for further appellate review.
