----S. 5---Rules under the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961, Rr. 8, 10, 11, 12 & Form II, columns Nos. 13 & 16---Suit for recovery of jewelry and share in house--- Form of Nikahnama---Absence of entry---Petitioner / ex-wife was aggrieved of judgment passed by High Court declining her jewelry allegedly snatched by respondent / ex-husband from her and her Shari share in ancestral house---Held, that petitioner / ex-wife admitted before Trial Court that she had given jewelry to respondent / ex-husband herself on his demand, therefore, there was no question of either snatching or taking away the same forcefully from her--Findings of Trial Court and High Court did not warrant any interference as allegation of snatching away of gold from her had remained unproved---High Court had rightly observed that columns Nos. 13 and 16 of Nikahnama entitled petitioner / ex-wife to have her Shari share in ancestral property, which respondent / exhusband was bound to provide her, without any exception---Supreme Court maintained the judgment passed by High Court, as the same did not suffer from any misreading or non-reading of evidence or facts on record---Petition for leave to appeal was dismissed and leave to appeal was refused.
