Judgment text as reported

Faiz Muhammad VS Province of Sindh through Secretary, Revenue Department Ss. 42 & 54---Suit for declaration and injunction---Defendants not appearing as witnesses---Scope---Plaintiffs claimed that they acquired permanent rights in respect of land cultivated by them and their names were entered in revenue record as owner thereof---Respondents contended that the plaintiffs had not cultivated the land and had arranged false entries in the record with the connivance of village staff---Trial Court dismissed the suit whereas the appeal was also dismissed---Validity---Record showed that the defendants examined two witnesses in support of their pleas but defendants themselves did not enter in the witness box to depose what had been placed in their written statement---Had the relevant defendants been examined, then the evidence of said witnesses could be termed as supporting evidence---Said witnesses were neither party in the suit nor their plea was on record---Said witnesses could not establish plea of defendants, when they themselves had failed to appear as witness at trial, their written statement could not be treated as substantive piece of evidence---Pleas of defendants raised in the written statement therefore could not be relied upon---Site inspection report was also not a substitute for evidence as its author was not examined---Evidence was vague one and was of no help to defendants---Defendants thus failed to discharge their burden---Revision petition was dismissed.
