The Supreme Court Wednesday directed a man to give due share from inherited property to his two sisters. A two-judge bench of the apex court was hearing a property dispute between one Abdul Ghafoor of Peshawar and his two sisters. Justice Qazi Faez Isa, a member of the bench said that the parties have agreed on the distribution of the property. He refused to hear any other plea in the case until the implementation of the previous orders.

Justice Mushir Alam suggested the complainant to pay an equivalent amount of money to his sisters in gold if he does not want to get involved in interest-based transactions. "If you want to follow Shariah, don't add your personal desires into it," he added. Justice Isa expressed outrage over the failure to implement directives of the court for the transfer of land to Abdul Ghafoor's sisters despite spending three years in court in an effort to acquire their rightful property.

"Despite passage of three years, the order of transferring 100 kanals of land to your sisters has not been implemented," he remarked. The court directed Ghafoor to submit documents of the transferred land to his two sisters within two weeks and adjourned the hearing.
