| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan, upon reviewing the case, found that the Lahore High Court had correctly declined to exercise writ jurisdiction regarding the appointment of a Lambardar. The Court referenced the case of Sharaf Din v. Qazi Abdul Jalil and another, 1986 SCMR 1368, which supported the High Court's decision. As a result, leave to appeal was refused. The decision emphasized the importance of adhering to established legal precedents in administrative matters, particularly concerning the appointment of officials within the local governance structure. |
| Summary |
This case revolved around the appointment of a Lambardar under the West Pakistan Land Revenue Act. The Supreme Court of Pakistan, presided by Justices Muhammad Afzal Zullah and Saad Saood Jan, evaluated the merits of the case and upheld the Lahore High Court's decision to deny writ jurisdiction. The Court cited precedent from Sharaf Din v. Qazi Abdul Jalil, reinforcing the principle that administrative decisions should not be interfered with unless there are compelling reasons. This ruling reflects the judiciary's commitment to maintaining the integrity of local governance processes and the legal framework surrounding land revenue administration.
