Respondent No.1 attempted to explain away his failure to
disclose the said assets by stating that after the demise of his
paternal grandmother, the land that stood in her name was
distributed amongst her legal heirs i.e. Munawar Ali Abbasi
and others. At that point in time, a family settlement with
regard to the entire land was entered into. In consequence,
Respondent No.1 and his minor sons received substantial

was further submitted that only that part of the land was

of the family partition were duly reflected in all requisite
records as owners.
