Javed Akhtar (deceased) v. Zeenia Satti (Criminal Review Petition)

16, May 2026

A court order obtained by hiding important facts can be set aside on review. Summary: The Supreme Court set aside its earlier order (03.08.2022) that had directed CDA to give possession to Zeenia Satti. The Court found that the earlier order was based on a clear error – the original decree was in favour of Javed Akhtar’s legal heirs, and Zeenia Satti had misled the Court.

Noman Rasheed & others v. Mst. Nighat Miandad

16, May 2026

An allegation of fraud against a court decree must be filed before the court that passed the final judgment. Summary: Once a higher court confirms a decree, the lower court’s judgment merges into it. A separate application under Section 12(2) CPC (fraud) against the lower court’s judgment is not maintainable after merger.

Greentree Holdings Ltd. v. Muhammad Ziaullah Khan Chishti

16, May 2026

Filing multiple frivolous appeals can result in the court ordering you to pay the other side’s costs. Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed several connected appeals and ordered the appellants to jointly pay the respondent’s legal costs. This warns litigants not to abuse the court process.

Sahibzada & others v. Muhammad Ayub

16, May 2026

If two lower courts give the same factual decision, higher courts will not change it easily. Summary: The Supreme Court said that revisional courts can only interfere if there is a clear legal error or misreading of evidence. Here, the tenant had not paid rent for 12 years, so eviction was upheld.

Dr. Hassan Fatima v. Pakistan Red Crescent Society

16, May 2026

A tenant cannot escape a signed agreement by saying “I signed without reading.” Summary: The tenant signed an MOU agreeing to increased rent but later defaulted. The Court held that a signed document is binding. The landlord’s personal need for the premises was accepted as a valid ground for eviction.

Sher Alam Khan v. Mst. Fozia Tabbasum Afridi Awareness:

16, May 2026

A third person’s property cannot be given as dower (Haq Mehr) without that person’s clear consent. Summary: The wife claimed a plot as part of her dower, but the father‑in‑law (owner of the plot) denied signing any document. The Supreme Court said the burden was on the wife to prove the document. She failed, so the plot was removed from the dower.

Mian Mehmood Ahmed (decd) v. Safdar Hussain Awareness

16, May 2026

Before buying property, always check if someone else already has an agreement to buy the same property. Summary: A person who buys property after someone else has already signed an agreement to buy it is not protected unless he proves he acted in good faith and made proper inquiries (checked land records, pending cases, etc.). Simply saying “I didn’t know” is not enough.

Rawail Khan (decd) v. Khawaja Muhammad Arif What the Court said

14, May 2026

In a property sale agreement, missing a payment deadline does not automatically cancel the contract unless the agreement clearly says so. Also, an unregistered agreement to sell can still be enforced in court. What this means for you: As a buyer, you can still ask the court to force the seller to complete the sale even if you paid late – as long as you are still ready to pay. As a seller, if you want strict deadlines, write them clearly in the agreement.

Muhammad Iqbal v. The State What the Court said

14, May 2026

If a party has a key witness or document but does not bring it to court, the judge can assume that witness would have said something harmful to that party. This is called an “adverse inference” (Article 129(g) of Qanun-e-Shahadat). What this means for you: You cannot hide evidence. If you fail to produce an important witness without a good reason, the court will think that witness would have hurt your case. Bring all your proof to court.

Greentree Holdings Ltd. v. Muhammad Ziaullah Khan Chishti What the Court said

14, May 2026

Filing multiple, repeated petitions on the same issue is an abuse of court process. The Court can order you to pay the other side’s costs – and those costs can be recovered from your property. What this means for you: Don’t file a hopeless appeal just to delay the case. If you lose, you may also lose money by paying the winner’s legal fees.

Sahibzada & others v. Muhammad Ayub

14, May 2026

Sahibzada & others v. Muhammad Ayub What the Court said: If two lower courts have already agreed on the facts of a case, a higher court will not change their decision just because someone thinks there could be another opinion. There must be a clear legal mistake. What this means for you: Once you lose at two levels (e.g., trial court and first appeal), you cannot keep fighting the same facts over and over. The case will end quickly, saving you time and money.
