Judgment & Decree

JAVID IOBAL J.‑‑This petition for leave to appeal has been filed by the petitioners who claim that Inayat Begum respondent as well as Umar Draz and Mst. Kishwar Sultan respondents are not the wife, and son and daughter of Nur Muhammad deceased. Mst. Zareen Bibi petitioner is daughter of Nur Muhammad from a different wife namely Mst. Nur Bakht petitioner. Their main case was that Mst. Inayat Begum respondent in her statement before a Magistrate had admitted that she was the wife of one Nasrufah. But this statement had at no stage been considered as a duly proved document. hfst. Inayat Begum respondent did not appear in the witness‑box at all nor she had ever been summoned at any stage of the litigation to prove the alleged statement made by her. This was the reason why the trial Court, appellate Court as well as learned Single Judge of the Lahore High Court, Lahore in R.SA. gave concurrent findings of fact in this case as against the present petitioners. Since this is the position no interference is called for. The petition is accordingly dismissed. M.B.A./Z‑58/S Petition dismissed.
