Law:
Section:
---- S. 9 --- Azad Jammu and Kashmir Interim Constitution Act (VIII of 1974), S. 421 (12) --- Leave to appeal was granted to consider whether suit in question, was not in fact merely under S.9, Specific Relief Act, 1877 but was also based on title and possession could have been given by the Court even after holding that such suit had not been filed within stipulated period of six months.
