Summary:
The appellant filed a complaint under the Illegal Dispossession Act, 2005 claiming lawful ownership and possession of 48 acres of agricultural land in Thatta through a sale deed and revenue record. He alleged that the respondents unlawfully dispossessed him. The trial court dismissed the complaint, noting that ownership was disputed in concurrent civil suits and that the appellant failed to produce the original sale deed or evidence of valid ownership. The appellate court upheld the trial court’s order, emphasizing that possession follows title and that only lawful owners or occupants are protected under the Act. The appeal was dismissed.
