3. At the conclusion of trial, learned Civil Judge, Karak, seized of the matter, upon consideration of the material placed before him, dismissed the suit, vide judgment and decree dated 17-6-2004. An appeal was preferred thereagainst, which " did not succeed. The same was dismissed as 'non- maintainability', by learned Additional District Judge, Karak, by his judgment dated 12-6-2006, giving rise to the filing of instant civil revision.
4. Appearing on behalf of the petitioner, Mr. Amanullah Khan Khattak, Advocate, vehemently contended that both the Courts below have dealt with the matter in cursory manner without application of independent mind and in total disregard to the material on record, which has resulted in complete failure of justice. Additionally, he urged that the appellate Court has not complied with the provisions of Order XLV, rule 31, of C.P.C. And, as such, the judgment and decree of the appellate Court cannot be allowed to remain intact. To augment the contentions, reliance was placed on Muhammad Sadiq represented by Muhammad Sarwar and others v. Amir Muhammad and others (2006 SCMR 702) and Mahmood Khan v. Ilam Din (2004 CLC 1345 Lahore).
5. Mr. Muhammad Zahir Shah, Advocate, appearing on pre-admission notice, on the other hand, repelled the arguments of learned counsel for the petitioner and supported the impugned judgments and decrees of the Courts below forcefully, maintaining that a concurrent finding of fact recorded by the Courts below cannot be upset by the High Court in exercise of its revisional jurisdiction under 'section 115, C.P.C. Unless the Courts below while recording the finding of fact have either misread the evidence or ignored any material piece of evidence on record or the finding of fact is perverse to the material on record. In this regard reliance was placed on Mst. Ghulam Sughra v. Muhammad Ayub Dar (1989 CLC 2493).
6. It is not denied that suit property is 'Shamilat-e-deh' and respondent Gul Nawaz is one of the co- owners in the 'shamilat' There is also no dispute so far as the legal proposition is concerned, that a co-sharer in possession of a particular area out of that property, is entitled to retain till partition without any interference on the part of other co-sharers and the remedy of the other co-sharers is to go for partition. The parties are co-sharers and it is well-settled that a co-sharer in possession of a joint property is not liable to be ousted therefrom, except on a partition by metes and bounds taking place between the co-sharers Muhammad Muzaffar Khan v. Muhammad Yousaf Khan (PLD 1959 SC 9), Saadullah Khan and 6 others v. Mir Piayo Khan and 14 others (PLD 1970 Peshawar 150) and Isa Khan and 23 others v. Barkatullah and 9 others (PLD 1989 Peshawar 67. Adverting to the objection regarding non-compliance, of the provisions of Order XLV, rule 31, C.P.C., learned Court has not been able to advance A convincing argument in respect thereof. This objection is repelled.
Attending to the last submission regarding non-reading and misreading of evidence on record, it needs no reiteration that the scope of section 115, C.P.C. Is limited and, as such, this Court cannot interfere in its revisional jurisdiction with the concurrent findings on a question of fact rendered by the two Courts below unless it finds misreading and non-reading of evidence therein. Since the learned counsel has not been able to point out any illegality or irregularity in the decisions concurrently arrived at by the forums below, justifying interference of this Court C in its revisional jurisdiction, the civil revision fails which is hereby dismissed, with no order as to costs.
