Suffice it to say that this legal
point has already been discussed by the honourable Supreme
Court of Pakistan in a judgment reported as “Taj Wali Shah
Vs Bakhti Zaman” (2019 SCMR 84) and held as under;
viii. In an undivided immovable property one of the cosharers can maintain a suit for ejectment of a possessor
in respect of the entire property and in such a case the
following may ensue:
firstly, the said suit of the co-sharer cannot be
considered as evidence of his-denial of the title of the
other co-sharers;
secondly, that the suit brought by said co-sharer would
be deemed to be for the benefit of the other co-sharers;
and
thirdly, when the said co-sharer acquired possession
in consequence of the said proceedings, he would be in
possession of the entire property, on behalf of all cosharers and his said possession cannot be deemed as
adverse to the other co-sharers.
