The decision concerning one property will be reconsidered, while the rulings relating to the other four properties remain intact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The court has directed concerned parties to appear before the appellate court on October 26, 2026 and ordered the court to decide the case within three months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PAK SOUCH MEDIA GROUP<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daily Pak Souch Newspaper Sukkur \u2013 Daily Pak Special Newspaper Karachi \u2013 Daily Pak Today Newspaper Karachi &#8211; Daily Pak Jazbo Newspaper Sukkur<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Head Office : Ayub Gate Shaikh Muhalla Near Rabbania Masjid Sukkur<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Karachi Office : Office No. 1901-B, 19th Floor Saima Trade Tower (B) Block I.I Chandigarh Road Near Jung Press, Shaheen Complex &amp; National Museum of Pakistan Karachi Sindh Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contact : 03009319022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Website 1 : <a href=\"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/\">https:\/\/paksouch.com\/<\/a><br>Website 2 : <a href=\"https:\/\/sindhi.paksouch.com\/\">https:\/\/sindhi.paksouch.com\/<\/a><br>Website 3 : <a href=\"https:\/\/pakjazbo.com\/\">https:\/\/pakjazbo.com\/<\/a><br>Website 4 : <a href=\"https:\/\/urdu.pakjazbo.com\/\">https:\/\/urdu.pakjazbo.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lahore High Court has observed that registry of a piece of land is merely a fiscal record and does not, by itself, establish ownership of..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17879,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17878","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-16T050301.272.png",800,947,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-16T050301.272-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-16T050301.272-253x300.png",253,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-16T050301.272-768x909.png",768,909,true],"large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-16T050301.272.png",800,947,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-16T050301.272.png",800,947,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-16T050301.272.png",800,947,false]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/?cat=3\" rel=\"category\">Pakistan<\/a>","tag_info":"Pakistan","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17878","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17878"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17878\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17880,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17878\/revisions\/17880"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/17879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
