The Supreme Court dismissed the petition for leave to appeal, concluding that the Settlement authorities acted within their jurisdiction when transferring the disputed shop. The petitioner, Muhammad Ibrahim, was found to have participated in the auction as the attorney of respondent No. 3 and made a statement to correct the bid sheet, which led to complications. Despite various documents presented by the petitioner to assert his claim, the court upheld the decisions of the lower authorities. The court found no merit in the petition, thus dismissing it. |
