SAMREEN BIB VS JUDGE FAMILY COURT,LAHORE
Summary: The petitioner claimed that at the time of her marriage to respondent No.3, she brought dowry articles worth Rs. 2,64,800/-, including gold ornaments and other items. The lower courts awarded Rs. 70,000/- as the alternate price for the dowry articles, considering wear and tear and the financial status of the petitioner's parents. The petitioner argued that the valuation of the dowry articles was too low, given the short duration of the marriage. The respondent's counsel countered by stating that a buffalo was given to the petitioner's parents in exchange for the dowry articles. The High Court noted that wear and tear on dowry articles depended on various factors, including the nature and quality of the items, their use, the relationship between the spouses, and the period of use. The court stated that there is no generalized formula to determine wear and tear precisely. It suggested methods for ascertaining wear and tear, such as physical verification through video calls, video footage, photographs, or employing modern technology. The court also recommended the appointment of a local commission for verification. Ultimately, the High Court allowed the writ petition, setting aside the previous judgments and directing the Family Court to reassess the tentative value of the dowry articles using one of the suggested methods.
Javed Iqbal VS ADJ etc
Summary: Dowry articles were allegedly given to respondent No.2, but a suit for the recovery of these articles was filed in 2002 after respondent No.2 was ousted from the petitioner's house. Additionally, respondent No.2 had filed an application for the custody of their minor children. After a series of legal proceedings, including the Family Court's decision to grant the petitioner a decree for dowry articles to the extent of a specific list, the matter was appealed. The petitioner's counsel argued that the appellate court should not have granted the full dowry articles without proper evidence, while respondent No.2's counsel contended that some items were admitted by the petitioner and therefore should be considered part of the dowry. The court found that the burden of proof regarding the return of dowry articles lay with the petitioner and that some of the dowry articles were indeed not retained by them, as per their written statement. The court excluded the claim for 25-tolas of gold ornaments but included a television and sewing machine in the list of dowry articles or set their tentative value at Rs. 1,00,000. This legal case involved a dispute over dowry articles and custody of minors, ultimately resulting in the adjustment of the dowry articles claimed by the parties involved in the case.
