Judgment & Decree

Muhammad Hussain Awan for Respondents Nos.1 to

3. Nemo for Respondents Nos.4 and 5 Date of hearing :2nd June,1991. This constitution petition is directed against an interim order passed by the civil judge, Gujranwala, on 14th of February, 1990 passed during the penency of a suit, filed by the predecessor-in-interest of respondents Nos1to 3, for possession of a house situate in Gujranwala against the application filed by respondents Nos.1 to 3 for having the dispute signature on documents Exh.D-2 compared with the admitted signature on Exh.D-1.this order was affirmed in revision by the learned Additional District judge, Gujranwala, on 31st of July, 1990.

2. The learned counsel for the petitioners in support of this petition has contended that the impugned order are perverse and arbitrary in nature and as the application was filed after the closure of the evidence by respondents, it could not have been allowed by the courts below. The learned counsel relying upon Saeed Ahmed v. Muhammad Anwer 1989 MLD 4119,Ghulam Murtaza v. Muhammad Ilyas and 3 other PLD 1980 Lah.495 and Syed Shabir Hussain was filed by the respondent the application could not have been allowed by the trail court.

3. The learned counsel for the respondents has, however, submitted that although evidence in affirmative had been closed by respondents Nos.1 to3 but their evidence in rebuttal was yet to be recorded and therefore, the Courts below were justified in allowing the application.

4. The main dispute in the suit between the parties is with regard to the signature on the affidavit (Exh.D-2) produced in evidence by the petitioners. The trial Court has opined that the comparison of signature by the Expert would certainly be helpful in arriving at a just conclusion. The Additional District Judge found no reason to interfere with the impugned order in the exercise of his revisional jurisdiction. It has been rightly pointed out by the learned counsel for respondents Nos.1 to 3 that the evidence of the plaintiffs/respondents in rebuttal is yet to be recorded. The comparison of the disputed signature with the admitted signature on Exh.D‑1 of the deceased, Syed Israr Hussain, would be helpful in deciding the suit. In these circumstances, the orders passed by the learned Courts below are just and fair and call for no interference in the exercise of discretion vested in this Court under Article 199 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973. For the reasons aforesaid, this petition is dismissed, leaving the parties to bear their own costs. H.B.T./M‑3099/L Petition dismissed.
