Art. 185(3)

Leave to appeal to Supreme Court

Scope

When the two courts of fact below i.e. Trial Court and the First Appellate Court had drawn their conclusions which were consistent with the evidence and there was no perversity or any defect in their judgments, then the Supreme Court was not required to embark upon any detailed examination of evidence while exercising jurisdiction under Art. 185(3) of the Constitution.

Judgment & Decree

JAWWAD S. KHAWAJA, J.

The petitioners-defendants impugn the judgments of the three Courts below. We have heard learned counsel for both sides and have also gone through the impugned judgments and record with their able assistance. The Courts below have come to the conclusion that the respondent had established his case in respect of the area measuring 10 feet 10 inches x 13 feet 2-1/2 inches which is subject matter of the present dispute. While exercising our jurisdiction under Article 185(3) of the Constitution, we are not required to embark upon any detailed examination of evidence because the two Courts of fact i.e. trial Court and the learned Additional District Judge in first appeal, have drawn their conclusions which are consistent with the evidence and there is no perversity or any defect in their judgments. In view of the foregoing discussion, we find no merit in this petition. The same is, therefore, dismissed and leave to appeal is declined. MWA/A-13/SC Petition dismissed.
