| Decision |
The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal regarding the appointment of a Lambardar after it was challenged in the Lahore High Court. The case involved a dispute following the removal of the previous Lambardar, Sohanra, due to land alienation. Initially, the Collector appointed the petitioner, but this decision was reversed by the Commissioner in favor of the respondent. The Board of Revenue later restored the petitioner's appointment. However, the High Court set aside this decision, leading to the current appeal. The Supreme Court noted that leave to appeal had already been granted in a related case, indicating a potential precedent. The court's decision emphasizes the limits of the High Court's intervention in administrative matters related to Lambardari appointments. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the appointment of a Lambardar and the legal intricacies involved in administrative decisions made by revenue authorities. The Supreme Court of Pakistan deliberated on the jurisdiction of the High Court in interfering with such appointments under Article 199 of the Constitution. The case highlights the significance of legal precedents in cases of administrative law and the importance of understanding the role of various stakeholders in land revenue matters. As the case progresses, it raises crucial questions about the interpretation of relevant laws and the authority of different judicial bodies in Pakistan. The ruling is expected to impact future cases related to Lambardari, administrative law, and judicial review in Pakistan, making it a significant legal precedent. |
