Muhammad Akram in favour of his sons which was never proved–Delay in finalization of present matter is clearly attributable to petitioners–In our view, law as well as equity in present case leans towards Respondent rather than petitioners–Learned counsel for petitioners has not been able to show us that there was any legal, procedural or jurisdictional defect, error or flaw in impugned judgment that may require grant of leave by this Court–Judgments of lower fora which are concurrent are well reasoned, cover all material and factual aspects and do not require any interference by this Court by way of grant of leave to appeal–Civil Petition was dismissed.
