6. The stance of the petitioner that nothing
in the shape of dowry articles was given to respondent
No.1 is not acceptable. It is customary in our society
that parents do give dowry articles to their daughters
merely as a token of love and symbol of honour and the
petitioner has miserably failed to bring on record
anything from which it could be inferred that
something contrary to the settled norms was happened
in respondent’s case. I have also gone through the
decreed items and am of the considered view that the
same are of daily use and usually given to a daughter at
the time of marriage by the parents even having
unsound financial background. The alternate price
assessed in lieu of the dowry articles by the learned
Judge Family Court and affirmed by the learned
Appellate Court is also very reasonable. Concurrent
findings of facts in the absence of any illegality or
irregularity need no interference by this Court in its
Constitutional jurisdiction. Reliance is placed on case
reported as Muhammad Habib ..Vs.. Mst. Safia Bibi
and others (2008 SCMR 1584).
