ORDER

1. ' MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.--A defendant in a family dispute regarding dowry has called in question the dismissal of his civil revision by the High Court.

2. ' As stated by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the dispute about dowry was to the effect that while the respondent (wife) claimed that it had been misappropriated by the petitioner (husband), the latter's defence was that he having lived with the parents of the respondent as 'Khana Damad' her dowry was shifted to their house and thus he had neither any opportunity to misappropriate the same nor he had done so.

3. It was obviously a case of contradictory pleas on disputed question of fact which has been concluded by concurrent findings of fact by learned Courts below against the petitioner. Nothing has been shown so as to establish that the appraisal of the material before the learned lower Courts suffered from any error of law or principle. On the contrary the technical objections regarding procedural aspects of the case have been raised. They have not been given much importance by the High Court and rightly so; firstly, because they are not significant; and secondly, because no prejudice has been caused to the petitioner and substantial justice nevertheless has been done. Accordingly finding no force in this petition, leave to appeal is refused. revisions by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the official sources or legal professionals for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
