Judgment text as reported

ABDUL SATTAR VS ABDULLAH arts. 17 & 79---Contract act (IX of 1872), Ss.24 & 26---Specific Relief act (I of 1877), S.12---Sale agreement---Proof---Vendee filed a suit for specific performance against the vendors on the basis of a contract of sale---During pendency of suit, two persons (plaintiffs of later suit) filed a suit for specific performance of oral contract against the vendors---Vendors denied the claim of vendee and admitted the claim of plaintiffs---Trial Court decreed the suit of vendee only to the extent of two vendors---Validity---Document was required by art. 17 of the Qanun-e-Shahadat, 1984 to be attested by two witnesses and the execution thereof to be proved through the testimony of two marginal witnesses per art.79 of the Qanun-e-Shahadat, 1984---However, the agreement between vendee and vendors in the present case was attested by six marginal witnesses and five of them were produced i.e. even beyond the requirement of law---Trial Court had rightly decreed the suit to the extent of two vendors because the two sisters and mother of the vendors were neither executants of the contract nor had they authorized the vendors to sell out their shares---So far as agreement between the plaintiffs and vendors was concerned, record revealed that the property was transferred in exchange of a certain price as well as in exchange for the daughter of one of the plaintiffs---Such an agreement was not only immoral and against public policy but also void under Ss.24 & 26 of the Contract act, 1872---Vendors had malafidely supported the suit of the plaintiffs---appeals filed by vendors and plaintiffs were dismissed, in circumstances.
