' The submission of learned counsel for the applicants is that such site inspection report will elucidate the evidence already adduced by the parties in the suit, therefore, it will not cause any prejudice to the interest of either party.

5. ' Mr. Irfan Ahmed Qureshi, learned counsel for the private respondents in this revision application has not disputed the fact that his clients themselves had moved the lower Court for inspection of site, which application remained pending till the final disposal of the suit. He also did not dispute that inspection of site as requested before the Appellate Court by the applicants, will enable the Court to appreciate the evide ce adduced by the parties, in a more appropriate and effective manner.

6. ' This being the position, and with the consent of patties' counsel this revision application is allowed and disposed in the terms that the impugned order is set aside and the application for appointment of Commissioner (Exh.41) dated 6-7-2006 moved by the applicants is allowed as prayed.

7. ' The Commissioner appointed by this order will inspect the site of the properties in dispute and will submit his report before the Appellate Court within one month from the date of this order.

The Appellate Court will hear and dispose of the appeal finally within three months from the date of this order.
