Recover the dower amount Rs. 2,00,000/- which was not paid to her by the petitioner; that the learned Family Court was competent to adjudicate upon the claim

7. On the other side, learned counsel for respondent No. 3 argued that respondent No. 3 was subjected to torture and she was turned out by the petitioner from his house and the learned trial Court has rightly granted her maintenance allowance; that respondent No. 3 was fully entitled to recover the dower amount Rs. 2,00,000/- which was not paid to her by the petitioner; that the learned Family Court was competent to adjudicate upon the claim of respondent No. 3 regarding 5-tolas gold ornaments; that the learned trial Court as well as the learned appellate court have passed the judgments and decrees in favour of respondent No. 3 in accordance with law and the writ petition against concurrent findings of both the learned courts below is not competent. He has placed reliance on “Liaquat Ali Vs. Additional District Judge, Narowal and 2 others” (1997 SCMR 1122), “Mst. Razia Begum Vs. Jang Baz and 3 others” (2012 CLC 105), and “Mst. Ghulam Shaheena Vs. Judge, Family Court” (2010 CLC 87).
