4. Decree for partition in Title Suit No. 102 of 1990 was prayed for on the basis of the kabala No. 5649 dated 19.6.1969.

The High Court Division discharged the Rule concurring with the findings and decisions of the trial Court.

10. We have heard the learned Counsel and perused the materials on record. The learned Counsel for the petitioners failed to point out error of a kind calling for interference with the judgmet of the High Court Division which has concurred with the findings and decisions of the appellate Court affirming the judgment and decree of the trial court. Uniform finding of the appellate Court and the trial Court was that the document on the basis of which plaintiffs of the respective suits are claiming interest in the land described in the schedule attached to the plaint of the respective suits were fabricated and faudulent.
