Judgment & Decree

Ch. Muhammad Ahmad Bani, Advocate Supreme Court and S. nayat Hussain Shah, Advocate‑on‑Record for Petitioner. Nemo for Respondent. Date of hearing: 14th June, 1989. MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.‑‑Leave to appeal has been sought by a defendant; against the dismissal by the High Court, of his Civil Revision. It had arisen out of respondent's suit for possession of the disputed shop, which has been decreed. The petitioner has lost throughout on questions of fact. The High Court while dismissing the revision did not rind any non‑reading or mis‑reading of evidence. However, learned counsel contended that while the documents relied upon by the respondent/plaintiff showed the property in dispute as a plot belonging to him, in reality the suit property is a built up shop. He further stated that the, documents relied upon by the petitioner showed that it was a built up shop. The point raised by the learned counsel having been noticed the respondent was held to be the owner of the land underneath the shop and the petitioner bad, been permitted to remove the superstructure. After hearing the learned counsel we do not find any force in this contention. The plea of misreading and non‑reading of evidence having been duly noticed by the High Court, for good reasons, it did not find favour in the exercise of the revisional jurisdiction of the High Court. Leave to appeal, accordingly, is refused. M.A.K./A‑601/S Leave refused.
