Sindh Land Revenue Code

Where orders passed by highest forums of Revenue hierarchy were found to be within jurisdiction, legal and proper and no mala fides on the part of such Authorities or want of jurisdiction was pointed out, and no miscarriage of justice had taken place, Civil Court could not strike down those orders

Appellate Court had virtually discussed each and every issue and assigned reasons for upsetting findings of Trial Court

Appellate Court had jurisdiction to reopen such case while hearing appeal and to decide the same

Findings of Appellate Court were neither perverse nor fanciful-

Entries in revenue record regarding ownership of properties are presumptive evidence of title sufficient to sustain any finding consistent with such entries: unless contrary is proved

Such entries constitute an important source of information which enjoys an initial presumption of truth attached to it.

Property was clearly shown in the relevant official record to be attached to a temple and names of persons were shown as Managers

Presumption of correctness is attached to such entry under 5.135-J. Sind Land Revenue Code and S.32, West Pakistan Land Revenue Act, 1967

Where no positive evidence was produced by respondent, evidence from official record was sufficient to uphold the claim that the property was evacuee trust property.

Presumption of correctness is attached to entries under S.135-J of Sind Land Revenue Code and S.52 of West Pakistan Land Revenue Act, 1967 until contrary is proved

Effect of production of such evidence would be that the onus of proof is shifted to the respondents

Where the respondents did not produce any evidence to show that property was entered in the name of private owner, such property, held was attached to a religious or charitable trust.

High Court holding on basis of proved evidence that suit land was granted to respondent for purpose of public utility and since property no longer required for said purpose, same was to revert to Government and that contract between parties was not enforceable in law

Plea raised by petitioner against such finding found to be without merit

Leave to appeal refused.
