| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by the petitioner, Nazar Muhammad, challenging the orders issued by the Tehsildar regarding the partition of a joint khata. The court found no illegality or irregularity in the proceedings conducted by the revenue authorities. It was determined that the petitioner had been duly served and failed to raise objections during the partition process. The court emphasized the importance of the revenue authorities as the appropriate judges in determining ownership rights. The dismissal was upheld as the petitioner could not demonstrate any jurisdictional defects or errors in the decisions made by the lower courts. |
| Summary |
In the case of Writ Petition No. 29107 of 2012, heard by the Lahore High Court, the petitioner, Nazar Muhammad, challenged multiple orders made by revenue authorities regarding the partition of a joint khata under the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1967. The case centered around the application for partition filed by Muhammad Abdullah, which was accepted by the Tehsildar after ex-parte proceedings were initiated against the petitioner. Throughout the proceedings, the petitioner failed to show any objections or irregularities in the process, leading the court to uphold the decisions made by the revenue hierarchy. This case highlights the judicial approach towards administrative decisions in revenue matters and reinforces the principle of finality in administrative decisions unless clear illegality is demonstrated. Keywords such as 'Lahore High Court', 'Punjab Land Revenue Act', 'partition of joint khata', and 'ex-parte proceedings' are significant for legal practitioners and researchers in understanding the scope of judicial review in revenue cases. |
