ZAHOOR BUX . vs FAREED BUX . — C.A. No. 3599/2005

Case Summary: Zahoor Bux v. Fareed Bux (C.A. No. 003599/2005) On July 11, 2005, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal and set aside orders of the Deputy Director of Consolidation and High Court. The Deputy Director had dismissed appellant's 2000 petition to recall a 1983 compromise order on grounds of forgery, without conducting any inquiry into the document's genuineness. The Court held that when compromise authenticity is challenged, a proper inquiry with oral and documentary evidence must be conducted. The matter was remitted to the Deputy Director to reconsider the recall petition on merits with full procedural safeguards; delay in filing was condoned.
