Summary of Judgment
The Supreme Court dismissed the petition filed by the defendants (petitioners) against the order of the Lahore High Court, which had upheld the concurrent findings of the trial and appellate courts in favor of the plaintiffs (respondents) regarding possession and mesne profits of the disputed property. The petitioners did not contest the merits of the ownership or their unlawful possession, but instead raised three legal points: mesne profit, res judicata, and refusal to admit additional documents at the appellate stage. The Court found no merit in these arguments and upheld the lower courts’ decisions.
