| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by Muhammad Sher against the order dated 20.11.1982 of the Board of Revenue, Punjab, Lahore, which had upheld the revenue authorities' findings regarding the disputed land. The court found that the revenue courts were competent to determine the issues of possession and demarcation of land and that the previous civil court's decision did not bar the revenue courts from addressing the matter. The court noted that the petitioner had failed to challenge earlier decisions and reaffirmed that the doctrine of res judicata did not apply in this case. As a result, the petition was dismissed with no costs awarded to either party. |
