FAZAL DIN-Petitioner  

VERSUS

  Mst. BASSI-Respondent

Law:

Section:

  Mutation-Will-Mutation on basis of alleged will entered into at instance of petitioner and rejected in his presence by Assistant Collector-Contention that petitioner was not given opportunity of proving will-Not justified in circumstances of case-Order of Additional Commissioner not interfered with.     ORDER   This order will dispose of the following two revisions:----   Fazal Din v. Mst. Bassi (Revision No. 862). Fazal Din v. Mst.

Bassi filed an appeal before the Additional Commissioner, Multan, against the remand order. At this stage, an appeal was also filed by Fazal Din son of Hoshnaki in which Fazal Din son of Faqir Muhammad and Mst. Bassi were cited as respondents. The learned Additional Commissioner rejected the appeal of Fazal Din son of Hoshnaki, but accepted that of Mst. Bassi. Hence these two revisions.   I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. So far as Fazal Din son of Hoshnaki is concerned, the learned counsel for the petitioners has relied on a Shajra Nasab given by the Central Record Office.
