The case revolves around a dispute over inheritance rights and property ownership. Mehwish Mughal and another petitioner, along with Mirza Ijaz Baig, filed a suit seeking declaration, cancellation of documents, and possession through partition with permanent injunction against the respondents/defendants.  They claimed to be the legal heirs of Mst. Shafqat Parveen, who was the daughter of Mirza Fazal Hussain Baig. The petitioners alleged that the defendants, through fraudulent means, obtained mutations and documents that deprived them of their rightful share of inheritance. The trial court and the appellate court initially ruled against the petitioners, but the civil revision was filed challenging these judgments. The petitioner's case was supported by solid oral and documentary evidence, including witness testimonies and official records. The court, after thorough consideration of the evidence presented, concluded that the petitioners had indeed proved their case. It found that the

The unique point in this case is determining which copy of a nikahnama holds the presumption of truth. The court concluded that the fourth copy, kept by the Union Council, is most reliable because it is less likely to be tampered with. The case involves a suit filed by Mst. Saima Mai against her husband, Ejaz Iqbal, for recovery of maintenance allowance, dower, and return of dowry articles after being ousted from her marital home. The trial court ruled in her favor, granting maintenance, the dower (a 5-marla house), and a sum for dowry articles. Ejaz Iqbal challenged the decision regarding the house, arguing discrepancies in different copies of the nikahnama. The Lahore High Court upheld the lower court's decision, emphasizing the reliability of the fourth copy of the nikahnama, kept by the Union Council, and dismissed the petition. مقدمے میں محترمہ کی طرف سے دائر مقدمہ شامل ہے۔ صائمہ مائی نے اپنے شوہر اعجاز اقبال کے خلاف اپنے ازدواجی گھر سے نکالے جانے کے بعد دیکھ بھال کے الاؤنس، م

Sure, here is a succinct summary of a case law from the Supreme Court of Pakistan: **Case Citation: 2021 SCMR 56** **Key Point Decided:** In *Mian Haroon Riaz Lucky vs. The State*, the Supreme Court held that for the theft of natural gas by commercial consumers, FIRs under Section 462-C of the PPC can be registered, provided the procedural requirements of the Gas (Theft, Control and Recovery) Act, 2016, are followed. The 2016 Act introduced additional procedures but did not negate the applicability of the Penal Code. For The High Court ruled that evidence from one criminal case cannot be used in another without summoning, examining, and cross-examining the witnesses in the new case. This ensures the trial's fairness and adherence to due process.

The unique point decided in *2021 P Cr. L J 417* is that evidence (witness statements and documents) from one criminal case cannot be used directly in another criminal case without summoning, examining, and cross-examining those witnesses in the new case. This ensures adherence to due process and a fair trial. bject at a later stage---Validity---Petitioners had no occasion to object when the other set of witnesses of other criminal case was not brought in the witness box and their statements had not been made part of the court record in another case---Petitioners had rightly objected at the appropriate stage and the Trial Court was under an obligation to decide the matter---Supreme Court had held that justice should not only be done but should manifestly be seen to be done---Therefore, in order to ensure that the trial was fair and in accordance with law, the witnesses and documents must be summoned and recorded as per law in the case they were relevant, with the opportunity for examin

### فیصلے کی مرکزی کہانی **پس منظر:** ریاست علی کو پاکستان پینل کوڈ (PPC) کی دفعہ 462-J کے تحت ایف آئی اے سرکل، گجرات میں ایف آئی آر نمبر 145/2024 میں بجلی چوری سے متعلق ایک جرم کے تحت گرفتار کیا گیا تھا۔ اس نے گجرات کی سیشن عدالت میں بعد از گرفتاری ضمانت کے لیے درخواست دائر کی جسے علاقائی دائرہ اختیار نہ ہونے کی وجہ سے خارج کر دیا گیا۔ اس کے بعد انہوں نے پھالیہ کی سیشن عدالت میں بھی یہی درخواست دائر کی جسے بھی اسی وجہ سے خارج کر دیا گیا۔ **قانونی مسئلہ:** درخواست گزار کو اس حوالے سے الجھن کا سامنا کرنا پڑا کہ کس عدالت کے پاس اس کی ضمانت کی درخواست سننے اور مقدمہ چلانے کا علاقائی دائرہ اختیار ہے۔ **عدالت کا فیصلہ:** لاہور ہائی کورٹ نے دائرہ اختیار کا مسئلہ واضح کر دیا: 1. ** دائرہ اختیار کا تعین:**  - FIA اپنے شیڈول میں درج جرائم کی تفتیش کے لیے ذمہ دار ہے لیکن اس کے پاس ٹرائل کے لیے خصوصی عدالتیں نہیں ہیں۔  - ایف آئی اے کے شیڈول میں شامل جرائم کا ٹرائل، بلکہ پی پی سی جیسے دیگر قوانین کے تحت، متعلقہ والدین کے قوانین کے تحت نامزد عدالتوں کے ذریعے چلایا جانا چاہیے۔ 2. **قابل اطلاق قانون:
