MUHAMMAD YAQOOB and another vs CHIRAGH DIN

This matter concerns a petition for leave to appeal filed by the plaintiffs against the dismissal of their civil revision by the High Court. The underlying litigation involved a suit for possession between real brothers. The High Court had dismissed the civil revision based on a settlement reached between the parties, which was predicated on an offer to make an oath and the subsequent acceptance and performance of that oath. Before the Supreme Court, the petitioners challenged the validity of the High Court's order, specifically questioning the authority of their counsel to enter into such a settlement. The Supreme Court examined the power of attorney and found that the counsel indeed possessed the requisite authority to bind the petitioners to the settlement. Finding no merit in the contentions raised, the Court held that a settlement based on a duly performed oath, entered into by counsel with valid authority, is binding. Consequently, the petition for leave to appeal was dismissed, affirming the finality of the High Court's decision.
