|
| Decision |
Leave to appeal was granted to consider whether the petitioners could be treated as informers under section 14(1-A) of the Displaced Persons (Land Settlement) Act, 1958. The court noted that leave had previously been granted from the High Court's judgment in related civil petitions. Consequently, leave to appeal was also granted in the two petitions under consideration, and all appeals were ordered to be heard together. This decision underscores the importance of clarifying the definition of informers in the context of land settlement for displaced persons, which is a crucial legal question in this case. The ruling aims to address the procedural and substantive legal issues surrounding the claims made by the petitioners. |
