Section:

(a) Civil Procedure Code (V of 1908)-------0. XIII, R.4---Constitution of Pakistan (1973), Art.185(3)---Leave to appeal was granted to examine whether the Courts had omitted from considering some of the material documents/evidence in land dispute case and ,treated the case to be a case of relinquishment when in fact it was a case of resale for some consideration.
