2. ' The facts briefly narrated for the disposal of this petition are that the respondents filed a declaratory suit on 6-6-1992 taking exception to the General Power of Attorney as well as the sale- deed accomplished on the basis of the same as having been secured through fraudulent means.

4. Subsequent to the remand, the learned trial Court decreed the suit through its judgment dated 11- 7-1995. The petitioner filed an appeal against the above judgment, which was accepted on 11-2- 1996 and the case was again remanded to the trial Court. Thereafter the trial Court proceeded in the matter in accordance with the direction of the learned Fist Appellate Court and decreed the suit through its judgment, dated 29-4-1999.

A learned Single Judge of the Lahore High Court through the impugned order, dated 24-2-2000 held the respondents entitled to the share in the crops from Rabi, 2000 onwards. Hence, this petition for leave to appeal.
6. ' We have considered the contentions advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the entire documents appended with this petition. We have noticed that the declaratory suit was decreed in favor of the respondents on 20-4-1999. Appeal against the same is still pending before the learned First Appellate Court.

Learned counsel for the petitioner has failed to point out any illegality or legal infirmity in the impugned order warranting interference by this Court.
7. ' Resultantly, for what has been stated above, the instant petition being devoid of any merit is hereby dismissed and .
