IN THE COURT OF CIVIL JUDGE, MULTAN.

In re: Shaukat Ali

Vs.

Province of Punjab etc.

Written Statement on behalf of defendants No. 11 to 13. PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS: 1.

That the plaintiff has no cause of action to file this suit, so the suit is liable to be dismissed under the law.

2.

That the plaintiff has no locus standi to file the suit in hand, hence, no relief can be granted; and the suit is liable to be dismissed.

3.

That the suit is liable to be dismissed under the maxim “Law is with the vigilant not with indolent”.

4.

That the suit is liable to be dismissed as badly time barred.

5.

That this court is lacking the jurisdiction to try the suit.

6.

That after the repeal of Evacuee Laws in 1975, the transfer of disputed property made in favour of predecessors-in-interest of the answering defendants by Settlement Authorities, cannot be challenged under the law. The plaintiff’s suit merits dismissal.

7.

That there was no “pending proceedings” as visualised by law at the time of repeal of Evacuee Laws. Defendants No. 1 to 3, therefore, lack jurisdiction/authority to re-open the case of transfer of the disputed property, finalized more than quarter to a century ago and the suit seeking relief in this behalf is not maintainable.

8.

That the suit is an outcome of collusive-ness between the plaintiff and defendants No. 15 & 16. No equitable relief can be granted to the plaintiff, in these circumstances.

9.

That the plaint has been intentionally under-stamped and cannot be treated to be a plaint in the eye of law so as to proceed with further.

10.

That the plaintiff is not entitled for any relief under the “law of Estoppel”.

11.

2.

That the contents of para No. 2 are denied. It is absolutely incorrect that the plaintiff submitted a settlement form at any point of time seeking transfer of the disputed property. Rest of the para is denied for lack of knowledge. The plaintiff be asked to prove the same.

3.

That he contents of para No. 3 are incorrect. It is denied that defendant No. 4 secured transfer of shops, referred to in this paragraph, through suppression of material facts. However, as per record produced by plaintiff, the defendant No. 4 was in possession at the time of allotment. Rest of the paragraph is denied for lack of knowledge and the plaintiff be asked to prove the same.

4.

5.

That the contents of para No. 5 are denied. It is absolutely incorrect that the alleged settlement form bearing No. 254 dated 7.7.1959 was available in the record of defendant No. 2. The question of disposal of the said form prior to the transfer of the disputed property therefore, did not arise. Contents of the rest of the paragraph are mere embellishment and nothing but mis-statement of facts.

6.

That the contents of para No. 6 are denied. It is not correct that the plaintiff learnt about transfer of the property few days prior to the institution of the suit. He had, ever since its transfer remained posted with the knowledge of transfer thereof.

7.

That para No. 7 is denied in total as being wholly incorrect. The plaintiff had never remained in possession of the disputed property either directly or through Rana Dildar Ahamd. Therefore, the question of his handing over its temporary possession to defendants No. 15 & 16 for use did not arise. It is also incorrect that defendant No. 14 also obtained possession in similar fashion. It is also incorrect that the plaintiff was ever assured that the possession would be handed over (to him) on demand.

10.

That para No. 10 is not correct. The alleged facts in this paragraph are mere repetition of earlier paragraph. These are however denied as being wholly incorrect.

11.

That the contents of para No. 11 are not correct. The plaintiff was never seized of locus standi as he was not an applicant for its transfer. The question of his asking defendants No. 1 to 3 to take steps for transfer of the disputed property in his favour did not arise.

12.

That the contents of para No. 12 are denied as being incorrect. The plaintiff has no right to claim that the defendants be restrained from either alienating the suit property or making any alteration or change therein.

13.

That the contents of para No. 13 are not correct. No cause of action ever accrued to the plaintiff.

14.

That para No. 14 is admitted to the extent as regards the residences of the parties. However, this court lacks jurisdiction to adjudicate this lis.

15.

That the contents of para No. 15 are incorrect. The plaint has been intentionally under stamped. The plaintiff be asked to make up the deficiency, in accordance with law. For the reasons foregoing, it is most respectfully prayed that the suit being misconceived and malafide may be dismissed with special costs. Defendants,
