SC dismisses appeal regarding property dispute

ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa on Monday observed that baseless and fabricated litigation wastes the valuable time of the courts and contributes to the growing number of pending cases.

A three-member bench of the apex court, headed by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa and comprising Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhel and Justice Naeem Akhtar Afghan, heard a property dispute case. After hearing the case at length, the court dismissed the appeal filed against the deprivation of the two sons of a 75-year-old deceased man of their property. During the proceedings, the chief justice questioned why a 75-year-old man would gift land to someone else instead of his two sons. “We know how litigation happens,” the CJP remarked, adding that such baseless and fabricated litigation wastes the valuable time of the courts and leads to an increase in the number of pending cases.
