تعارف: Inheritance in Housing Societies
پاکستان میں کسی ہاؤسنگ سوسائٹی میں موجود جائیداد کے مالک کی وفات کے بعد، قانونی وارثین اپنا حق اپنی نام پر منتقل کرنے کے لیے عدالت میں درخواست دائر کر سکتے ہیں۔ اس عمل میں Civil Court میں "Suit for Declaration and Mandatory Injunction" دائر کی جاتی ہے۔
Parties to the Case
عدالت میں مدعی کے طور پر تمام قانونی وارث شامل ہوں گے، جبکہ مدعا علیہ کے طور پر عوام عام اور متعلقہ ہاؤسنگ سوسائٹی کو اصل نام اور پتہ کے ساتھ فریق بنایا جائے گا۔ مثال کے طور پر:
Public at large
M/S City Housing Society Pvt. Ltd, Phase-1, 43 Ferozepur Road, Lahore
Case Filing Process
عدالت میں کیس دائر ہونے کے بعد، عدالت مدعا علیہان کو نوٹس جاری کرتی ہے۔ مدعا علیہان عدالت میں حاضری دیتے ہیں اور اپنے written statements پیش کرتے ہیں۔
Court Decree and Property Transfer
عدالت تمام شواہد اور دستاویزات کی جانچ کے بعد فیصلہ دیتی ہے اور قانونی وارثین کے حق میں decree جاری کرتی ہے۔ عدالت ہاؤسنگ سوسائٹی کو ہدایت دیتی ہے کہ جائیداد وارثین کے نام پر ان کے حصے کے مطابق منتقل کی جائے۔ اس کے بعد، وارثین execution فائل کر کے جائیداد کی قانونی منتقلی کروا سکتے ہیں۔
Special Power of Attorney for Overseas Pakistanis
اگر کوئی پاکستانی بیرون ملک مقیم ہو اور پاکستان نہیں آ سکتا تو یہ تمام عمل Special Power of Attorney کے ذریعے مکمل کیا جا سکتا ہے۔
Case Example
عدالت میں ایک مقدمے میں مدعی کے وکیل نے بتایا کہ مدعی کے والد، Mudassar Naveed، فوت ہو گئے اور وہ جائیداد کے قانونی وارث ہیں۔ انہوں نے ہاؤسنگ سوسائٹی سے جائیداد کی منتقلی کے لیے رابطہ کیا مگر سوسائٹی نے بغیر کسی قانونی وجہ کے انکار کر دیا۔
Evidence Presented
مدعی کی جانب سے Special Power of Attorney، Family Registration Certificate، City Housing Faisalabad کے دستاویزات، Death Certificate اور دیگر ثبوت عدالت میں پیش کیے گئے۔ عدالت نے شواہد کی جانچ کے بعد تصدیق کی کہ مدعی قانونی وارث ہیں۔
Court Observations
عدالت نے وارثین کی قانونی حیثیت کو تسلیم کیا اور مدعی کے حق میں declaration جاری کی۔ تاہم، mandatory injunction جو ہاؤسنگ سوسائٹی کو جائیداد منتقل کرنے کی ہدایت دیتی، جزوی طور پر مسترد کی گئی کیونکہ جائیداد کی منتقلی کے قواعد متعلقہ محکمے کے تحت ہیں۔
Decree Outcome
عدالت کے فیصلے کے مطابق، وارثین کے حق میں declaration جاری کیا گیا، جبکہ سوسائٹی کو جائیداد منتقل کرنے کی ہدایت جزوی طور پر مسترد کی گئی۔ تمام فریقین اپنی لاگت خود برداشت کریں گے۔
نتیجہ
پاکستان میں ہاؤسنگ سوسائٹی کی جائیداد کے قانونی وارثین اپنے حق کے تحفظ کے لیے Civil Court میں Suit for Declaration and Mandatory Injunction دائر کر سکتے ہیں۔ اگر بیرون ملک ہیں تو Special Power of Attorney کے ذریعے تمام عمل مکمل کیا جا سکتا ہے۔

Decree of the court
Precise facts leading to filing of instant suit are that
plaintiffs No.2 to 4 filed their suit through her mother as next
friend. Plaintiff No.1 filed instant suit through his real brother as
special power of attorney. That predecessor-in-interest of the
plaintiffs was owner is possession in plot No.120, measuring 10-
Marlas, situated A-Block, City Housing Phase-1, Sargodha Road,
Faisalabad, hereinafter, called suit property, through application
No.30632, registration No.6962 from defendant No.2,
predecessor-in-interest of plaintiffs fulfilled all requirements of
defendant No.2. That predecessor-in-interest of plaintiffs
Mudassar Naveed died on 08.10.2018, leaving behind plaintiffs as
legal heirs. That predecessor-in-interest of plaintiffs was owner of
suit property. That after the death of predecessor-in-interest of
2
plaintiffs, plaintiffs have to inherit the suit property being legal
heirs. That plaintiffs approached the defendant No.2 to transfer
suit property in their names but he refused to do so. Defendant
No.2 is legally bound to transfer the suit property according to
Sharia Law but defendant No.2 without any legal justification
refused to transfer the suit property on the name of plaintiffs.
Hence, this suit.
2. The defendants were summoned
through ordinary
process but they did not turn up. Subsequently the defendants
were summoned through registered A.D and also through
substituted mode of service through publication in newspaper but
no one appeared on behalf of defendants hence, they were
proceeded ex-parte and plaintiff was directed to produce his exparte evidence of plaintiff.
3. In order to establish his claim,
special attorney on
behalf of plaintiff Abdul Rehman Asad appeared as PW-1 and he
produced one Muhammad Nauman Ashraf as PW-2. In
documentary evidence he produced copy of special power of
attorney as Exh-P1, copy of Family Registration Certificate as
Exh-P2, copy of City Housing Faisalabad as Exh-P3, copy of Death
Registration Certificate of Mudassar Naveed as Exh-P4, photocopy
of payment receipt/statement of account as Mark-A, photocopy of
allotment of plot as Mark-B and photocopy of undertaking form as
Mark-C and learned counsel for the plaintiff closed oral as well as
documentary evidence.
4. Arguments heard, record perused.
5. Plaintiff filed suit for declaration and consequential
relief for mandatory injunction to defendant to incorporate
inheritance of deceased on the name of plaintiffs. In this suit
plaintiff has to prove by their evidence the date of death their
predecessor-in-interest and legal heirs entitled to his inheritance.
In this regard, Abdul Rehman deposed as PW-1 and Muhammad
3
Nauman as PW-2. It has been categorically mentioned by the
witnesses, the PW-1 that Amna Sadaf, the plaintiff was married
with Mudassar Naveed. Out of wedlock three children namely
Sadaf Naveed, Amirah Fatima and Muhammad Ibraheem were
born. In order to support oral contentions, they produced FRC
Form as Exh-P2. It is further mentioned by the PW-1 that parents
of Mudassar Naveed had already been died. There is no evidence
in rebuttal to the evidence of the plaintiff, so, keeping in view the
oral contention of the plaintiff and Exh-P2, it has been
successfully substantiated by the plaintiff that the plaintiffs are
the only legal heirs of Mudassar Naveed. Exh-P4 death certificate
of Mudassar Naveed show that he is died leaving behind the
plaintiffs as legal heirs.
6. Plaintiff produced Exh-P3
and Mark-A
to Mark-C
documents pertaining to the property purchased by predecessor in-interest of the plaintiffs from defendant No.2. Plaintiffs sought
mandatory injunctions to the defendant No.2 to incorporate suit
property on their name as inheritance. Inheritance can only be
entered and regulating by the rules concerned department. To
the extent of declaration as legal heirs of Mudassar Naveed
(deceased), suit of the plaintiff is partially decree whereas to the
extent of mandatory injunctions to the defendant to incorporate
inheritance suit, it is dismissed. Parties will bear their own costs.
Decree sheet be prepared. File be consigned to the record room
after its due completion.
