| Decision |
The writ petition was accepted, and the order of the learned Member (Revenue) was set aside. It was determined that the Member did not issue a speaking order and failed to apply his mind to the arguments presented. The case was remanded back to the learned Member (Revenue) for a fresh decision, ensuring that all arguments are considered and clearly articulated. No costs were awarded as neither party was at fault. |
| Summary |
The case revolves around the writ petition filed by Kamil Hussain and another against the decision made by the Additional Commissioner (Revenue) of Lahore Division. The revision petition was dismissed by the Member (Revenue) of the Board of Revenue, Punjab, which led to this constitutional challenge. The primary argument was that the Member failed to issue a speaking order and did not adequately consider the detailed arguments presented. The Lahore High Court found that the Member's dismissal of the revision petition lacked justification and clarity, leading to a decision to remand the matter for reevaluation. This case underscores the importance of due process and the necessity for administrative decisions to be well-reasoned and transparent. The ruling emphasizes the need for public authorities to engage thoughtfully with the cases before them, ensuring that all parties receive fair treatment under the law.
