Judgment text as reported

ADEEL MANZAR VS Mst. NAEEM AKHTAR S. 5, Sched.---Suit for recovery of dower filed by widow---Dower---Legal right of wife/widow---Suit was concurrently decreed in favour of lady---Validity---Dower money is a debt payable to a wife and she is within her legal right to even press for its payment; even in those cases where claim for recovery of debts gets barred under the law, the only consequence which follows is that the aid of the Courts cannot be invoked for its recovery but the debt itself does not become extinct so that it may be available for purposes of adjustment out of Court and can even be paid with the consent of the parties---In the present case, the plaintiff ( lady / respondent) had miserably failed to prove that the deceased did not pay the dower, as settled at the time of Nikah to her, therefore, there did not arise any question of debt upon the estate of the deceased---High Court set-aside impugned judgments and decrees passed by both the Courts below---Constitutional petition, filed by legal heirs (major /adult siblings of deceased), was allowed, in circumstances.
