VVVVVVI. MUST READ JUDGEMENT.
Federal Constitutional Court held that Section 4 of the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961 is attracted only where the predeceased heir is a son or daughter of the propositus and the claim is made by the children of such son or daughter. The provision does not extend, either expressly or by analogy, to the children of a predeceased brother of the propositus. The petitioners, being children of the predeceased brother of Javed Iqbal Rana, consequently cannot derive a right of inheritance from Section 4.
