ORDER

1. S. USMAN ALI SHAH, J.---Leave to appeal has been sought by the petitioner against the order of the Lahore High Court, dated 7-6-1989, passed in Writ Petition No.1037 of 1989.

2. The respondents on the basis of re-construction asked the ejectment of the petitioner. He had' produced the original plan already sanctioned-by the Municipal Committee. The Counsel for the petitioner wants that this document relied upon has not been proved and the learned Courts have wrongly dispensed with the mode of proving this document. We agree with the learned Courts below that a public document produced in reliance of the evidence shall be deemed to be genuine unless proved contrary to it. The plan duly sanctioned by the Municipal Committee is a public document, thus we feel no bar in a case the mode of proof of such a document is dispensed with.

3. Hence no case is made out for the grant of leave to appeal. The same is accordingly dismissed.
