Summary: (a) Muslim Family Laws Ordinance (VIII of 1961) – S. 5 – Registration Act (XVI of 1908) – Ss. 17 & 49 – Specific Relief Act (I of 1877) – S. 42 – West Pakistan Land Revenue Act (XVII of 1967) – S. 45
Dower deed – Transfer of property – Non-registration – Effect – Limitation – Possession – Suit for declaration – Dismissal – Petitioner filed a suit for declaration claiming ownership of 3.5 Kanals of land allegedly transferred to her through a dower deed dated 13-07-1966 – Trial court decreed the suit, but appellate court set aside the decision – Petitioner challenged the appellate court’s findings, contending that dower deeds do not require registration – Held, transfer of property through a dower deed is distinct from a simple gift and, if the property value exceeds Rs. 100, it requires registration under S. 17 of the Registration Act – Failure to register the dower deed rendered it ineffective, and no title could be transferred under an unregistered instrument – Petitioner’s claim also failed due to the absence of revenue record entries reflecting her ownership – Despite being aware of inheritance mutation attested in 1970, she did not challenge it at the relevant time and only filed suit in 1990, making the claim hopelessly time-barred under Article 120 of the Limitation Act – Further held, mere cultivation of land by a witness on behalf of petitioner’s husband does not establish her possession – No misreading or non-reading of evidence found – Revision petition dismissed.
