#تملیک، #وصیت، اور

1) تملیک:
تملیک کسی ایک وارث کے حق میں گفٹ کی ایک شکل ہے۔تملیک ایک خانگی تقسیم/معاہدہ ہے جو کہ قانونی وارثان کے درمیان ماں یا باپ کی زندگی میں طے پاتا ہے۔ تملیک وصیت کرنے والے کی زندگی کے بعد نافذ العمل ہوتی ہے جبکہ گفٹ اسی وقت نافذ العمل ہو جاتا ہے جب کیا جاتا ہے۔ تملیک کو وصیت کرنے والا اپنی زندگی میں منسوخ کر سکتا ہے۔قبضے کی عدم موجودگی تملیک کی قانونی حیثیت پر اثر انداز نہیں ہوتی جبکہ گفٹ/ہبہ کے لیے قبضہ حوالے موہوب الیہ کرنا ضروری ہوتا ہے۔تملیک ایک قانونی وارث کے حق میں 1/3 حصہ سے زیادہ نہیں کی جا سکتی جبکہ ہبہ کے لیے ایسی کوئی شرط نہیں ہے۔

2) وصیت:
بذریعہ وصیت نامہ جائیداد کی منتقلی وصیت کہلاتی ہے۔ وصیت کرنے والا اپنی تمام جائیداد کے متعلق ایک وارث کے حق میں وصیت نہیں کر سکتا۔

3) ہبہ:
بذریعہ ہبہ نامہ جائیداد کی منتقلی ہبہ کہلاتی ہے۔

* #زمین کے کھاتوں میں #کھیوٹ، #کھتونی، #خسرہ نمبر اور دیگر اصلاحات کیا ہیں؟ جانیے اس تحریر میں #۔*

*1- موضع :*
یہ ایک بڑا یونٹ ہوتا ہے، جو عموماَ ایک بڑے گاؤں یا ایک سے زیادہ چھوٹے گاؤں کو ملا کر بنایا جاتا ہے۔ موضع کا نام اس گاؤں یا ایریا کے نام پر ہی درج ہوتا ہے ۔

*2- کھیوٹ نمبر:*
جب موضع بن جاتا ہے تو اس میں بہت سارے لوگوں اور خاندانوں کی زمین شامل ہوتی ہے۔ اس کی تقسیم مزید آسان بنانے کے لیے کھیوٹ نمبر دے دیے جاتے ہیں۔ مثلا" یہ ایک سو ایکڑ ایک خاندان کے پاس ہے، اسے ایک نمبر دے دیا کہ فلاں موضع کا یہ کھیوٹ نمبر ہے، جو فلاں خاندان کے ان ان حصہ داروں کے پاس ہے۔ یا مختلف خاندانوں یا لوگوں کی زمین کو ملا کر بھی ایک کھیوٹ بنایا جاتا ہے۔ اس کا نمبر تبدیل ہو سکتا ہے۔ جب کوئی زمین فروخت کرتا ہے یا ایسی کوئی تبدیلی ہوتی ہے تو آپ کے کھیوٹ کا نمبر بدل جاتا ہے۔

*3- کھتونی نمبر:*
موضع بھی بن گیا، اس میں کھیوٹ نمبر بھی لگ گئے۔ اب کھیوٹ میں بہت سارے مالکان ہیں، کسی کے پاس پانچ ایکڑ ہے، کسی کے پاس دس اور کسی کے پاس دو ایکڑ تو ان کو کیسے پہچانے گے کہ اس کھیوٹ میں کونسے بندے کی کتنی زمین ہے؟ تو اس کے لیے ہر حصہ دار کو ایک کھتونی نمبر لگا دیا جاتا ہے۔ مثلا کھیوٹ نمبر 1 میں دس ایکڑ زمین ہے اور دو مالک ہیں پانچ پانچ ایکڑ کے تو ان دونوں کو الگ الگ نمبر دے دیا جائے گا، پانچ پانچ ایکڑ کا، جسے کھتونی نمبر کہتے ہیں۔ یہ نمبر بھی تبدیل ہوتا رہتا ہے۔ جب کوئی اپنے حصے سے فروخت کر دے کسی کو یا ایسی کوئی دوسری تبدیلی ہو۔

*4- خسرہ نمبر:*
اب ایک کھتونی میں جو پانچ ایکڑ تھے، (جو ہم نے مثال میں لیے پانچ ایکڑ، حقیقت میں ان کی تعداد جو بھی ہو گی۔) ہر ایکڑ کو ایک خاص نمبر دیا جاتا ہے جو خسرہ نمبر کہلاتا ہے۔ یہ نمبر کبھی تبدیل نہیں ہوتا۔چاہے کوئی فروخت کرے، مگر کھیت کا خسرہ نمبر ایک ہی رہے گا۔ اور اس میں کھیت کی چاروں طرف سے پیمائش بھی لکھی ہوتی ہے کہ اس خسرہ نمبر کا جو کھیت ہے، اس کی لمبائی چوڑائی وغیرہ کیا ہے۔

*5- مساوی: (شجرہ)*
یہ موضع کا نقشہ ہوتا ہے۔ کہاں کس کا کھیت ہے، کہاں راستہ ہے، کہاں کیا ہے، سب اس میں ہوتا ہے۔ پٹواری کے پاس یہ نقشہ ایک کپڑے پر بنا ہوتا ہے، جسے لٹھا بھی کہا جاتا ہے۔

*6- جمعبندی:*
اس میں ایک موضع کے، کسی کھیوٹ کی، کسی کھتونی کے، کس خسرہ میں، کتنے مالک ہیں، سب کی تفصیل درج ہوتی ہے۔ اس میں یہ بھی درج ہوتا ہے کہ مالک کون ہے اور زمین کاشت کون کر رہا ہے۔ ٹھیکہ پر یا کیسے۔ زمین کی فرد بھی اسی رجسٹر کی تفصیل کی بنیاد پر جاری ہوتی ہے۔

*7- گردوری:*
آپ جس رقبہ کے مالک ہیں، یا مزارع ہیں، اس رقبہ میں کیا کاشت ہوتا ہے یا کیا کاشت کیا ہوا ہے۔ اس کی تفصیل بھی پٹواری درج کرتا ہے، اسے گردوری کہتے ہیں۔

*اہم نوٹ:*
زمین خریدتے وقت ہمیشہ خسرہ نمبر کی فرد کی بنیاد پر زمین خریدیں۔ مثلا فرض کریں ایک بندہ دو ایکڑ کا مالک ہے اس کا کھیوٹ نمبر 1 اور اس کے دو ایکڑ کھیوٹ نمبر 1 کی الگ الگ کھتونی نمبر 5 خسرہ نمبر 50 اور دوسرا ایکڑ کھتونی نمبر 10 میں خسرہ نمبر 100 ہیں۔ آپ اس سے ایک ایکڑ خریدنا چاہتے ہیں اور وہ آپ جو پسند کرتے ہیں اس کا خسرہ نمبر 50 ہے مگر اسے فرد اس 50 نمبر خسرہ کی نہیں، بلکہ پوری رقبے کی کھیوٹ سے ملتی ہے، جس میں وہ آپ کے نام ایک ایکڑ کروا دیتا ہے تو اب قانوناَ آپ اس کے دونوں ایک میں خسرہ نمبر 50 اور خسرہ نمبر 100 میں آدھے آدھے ایکڑ کے مالک بن جائیں گے۔ اور اگر خسرہ نمبر 50 فرد ہی آپ کو دے گا تو اس کی بنیاد پر وہی ایکڑ پورا آپ کے نام لگے گا۔ بیشک وہ آپ کو آپ کا پسند کیا ہوا خسرہ نمبر 50 ہی کاشت کے لیے دے رہا ہو، مگر مستقبل میں آپ کے بچوں میں جھگڑا ہو سکتا ہے کہ آپ کے یا اس کے بچے کہیں آپ کا آدھا ایکڑ یہاں بول رہا ہے، یہاں جاؤ ہمارا وہاں ہے، ہم وہاں جائیں گے وغیرہ۔ یہ تو دو ایکڑ کی مثال تھی اکثر ایسا ہوتا ہے کہ کسی زیادہ ایکڑ کے مالک سے زمین خرید لیں تو بعد میں وہ کہتا ہے کہ میں نے یہ ایکڑ نہیں بلکہ کوئی دوسرا دیا تھا، لہذا اسے کاشت کرو جا کر، وہ چاہے بنجر ہو۔ اس لیے زمین لینے سے پہلے تسلی کر لیا کریں۔

*2020 - MLD - 1147*

It is the duty of the family courts to consider the following guiding principles.

a) After recording of evidence by the Family Court, if it appears that any spouse who has suffered the psychological and physical injuries at the hands of other spouse covering under the offences referred in Part-II i.e. Sections 337A(i), 337F(i), 341, 342, 343, 344345, 346, 352 and 509 PPC, the learned Family Judge has to proceed against the perpetrator and award sentence in accordance with the law.

b) The Family Court while considering the offences referred in Part-II of the Schedule should give clear findings and verdict while dilating upon the evidence, even with or without framing of charge of that offence as the legislation has used the term “notwithstanding anything contained in the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898”.

c) The Family Court can summon the evidence of expert psychiatrist, doctor, CMO or the relevant doctor who had treated the victim in such type of cases.

d) The Family Court, before pronouncement of the final judgment, if prima facie, seem the offences referred in Part-II of the Schedule, may issue a show cause to the perpetrator or the spouse accused of the offence(s) in order to justify the requirements of Article 10-A of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973 by giving full opportunity for his defence and may record his/her statement being an accused as required under Section 342 Cr.P.C. or 340(2) Cr.P.C., if so required.

e) The Family Court may also call the summary inquiry through the relevant police authorities or seek a report and treat all those reports, record and documents as part of trial and may also provide the copies of those documents to the person accused of the charge before final pronouncement of the judgment.

f) The Family Court, while deciding the issue of cruelty, may frame specific charge for the offence, consider the evidence on the touchstone and requirement of ingredients of offences referred in Part-II of the Schedule and pass a sentence simultaneously in the same judgment or may proceed separately in accordance with procedure provided under the Cr.P.C.

g) The Family Court who has not given any findings on Part-II of the Schedule (of the offences) in its judgment despite availability of evidence in the Family Court jurisdiction, shall be treated as misconduct on its part, which has to be dealt with separately by the High Court on its administrative side.

on oral gift....

2020 Y L R 1356
[Lahore]

"Oral gift /زبانی ہبہ"

Plaintiffs claimed that property in question was transferred to them by oral gift but Trial Court and Lower Appellate Court dismissed suit of plaintiffs---Validity---Oral gift could be made by a Muslim but such transaction was required to be proved through high standard of evidence---Essential details with regard to venue, time, date and names of witnesses to when, where and before whom declaration of oral gift was made should be specifically detailed in plaint---Plaintiff not only failed to mention date of such event rather failed to recall his memory when specifically asked during cross-examination---Offer so extended was not accepted by plaintiff and he failed to establish one of the basic ingredients of his purported transaction---Other damaging feature was that alleged fact being purely an event involving future obligation could only be proved by examination of at least two witnesses as required by law---Despite nominating such number of persons before whom it affected, one out of them was deliberately withheld and only single witness in corroboration was produced which was not enough to comply with mandatory requirement of law---Sole supporting witness not only gave different time of transaction which was disclosed in contents of plaint, rather he also admitted that possession was not delivered to plaintiff---Plaintiff failed to prove his alleged transaction as such suit was rightly dismissed by courts---High Court declined to interfere in concurrent findings by two courts below as plaintiff could not point out any illegality or irregularity, non-reading or misreading of evidence---Plaintiff also could not point out any jurisdictional defect to call for interference by court in exercise of revisional jurisdiction scope of which was restricted only to correct errors of laws and facts, if were found to be committed by courts below in discharge of their judicial functions---Revision was dismissed in circumstances..
