Judgment & Decree
AJMAL MIAN, J.-..The above petition is directed against the order dated 19-3-1996 passed by a learned Single Judge of the Lahore High Court in Civil Revision No.2562 of 1995, filed by the petitioner against the concurrent judgments/decrees dated 1-6-1992 and 7-11-1995 of the learned Civil Judge, 1st Class, Lahore, and of the learned Additional District Judge, Lahore, respectively, decreeing Mian Muhammad Yaqoob, the predecessor of the respondents' suit for declaration that he was the sole legal heir of Mian Zia-ur Rehman deceased and maintaining the same in appeal respectively, declining the above civil revision on the ground that one of the legal heirs i.e. Mst.Azra Akhtar, daughter of Mian Muhammad Yaqoob, was not impleaded in the civil revision and in her absence no effective decree could be passed, The petitioner has, therefore, filed the present petition for leave to appeal.
2. In support of the above petition Mr. A.R.. Sheikh, learned Senior Advocate Supreme Court for the petitioner, has vehemently contended that Mst. Azra Akhtar was very much party inter alia before the Additional District Judge and the omission to mention her in the title of civil revision was merely a clerical mistake, which did not warrant the dismissal of the aforesaid civil revision on the above technical ground.
3. We have noticed that in the title page of memo of appeal (at page 50 of the paper book) Mst.Azra Akhtar has been mentioned as respondent No.1 (vi). However, it, appears that in the title page of the judgment of the learned Additional District Judge, instead of mentioning the name of the legal heirs of Mian Muhammad Yaqoob, his name appeared. It may be on account of the above discrepancy, the petitioner on account of oversight might have left out Mst. Azra Akhtar.
4. We are inclined to grant leave to consider, as to whether the learned Judge in Chambers was justified in non-suiting the petitioner on the ground that Mst.Azra Akhtar was not mentioned in the title of the civil revision though she was very much party before the Courts below. Leave is, accordingly, granted. M.B.A./N-10/S Leave granted.
