SUMMARY

The case revolves around a property dispute involving 8 Kanal 11 Marla of land in Attock. The petitioners are the successors of Akhtar Gul, the original owner. Respondents No.3 to 5 claimed that Akhtar Gul had sold the property through an agreement dated February 4, 1999, and executed a general power of attorney in favor of Respondent No.2. The respondents further alleged that they purchased the property from Respondent No.2 on May 10, 1999.

The trial court consolidated two separate lawsuits and ruled in favor of the respondents. The petitioners appealed, arguing that the agreement was not proven, as the attesting witnesses were not produced, and the general power of attorney had been revoked before the transaction. The appellate court upheld the trial court’s decision.
