| Decision |
The review petitions were filed against the order dated 27-3-2013, which set aside the orders of the learned Additional Commissioner (Revenue) and the District Officer (Revenue). The court found that there was no legal bar against one person holding two Lambardaris of adjacent villages. The evidence provided by the petitioner, Muhammad Azam Khan, refuted the allegations against him, and the orders of the District Collector and Additional Commissioner were upheld. Consequently, the review petition was accepted, and the orders passed by the Board of Revenue were set aside, allowing for the restoration of the petitioner's Lambardari grant. |
| Summary |
The case revolves around the review petitions filed by Muhammad Azam Khan concerning his appointment as Lambardar in two adjacent villages under the West Pakistan Land Revenue Rules, 1968. The Board of Revenue, Punjab, scrutinized the validity of previous orders that disqualified him based on allegations that were ultimately disproven. The ruling emphasized the legal allowance for a single individual to hold multiple Lambardaris when the villages are adjacent, thereby strengthening the argument for communal representation. The decision is significant for understanding the application of land revenue laws and the rights of local leaders in Pakistan. Keywords: Lambardar, West Pakistan Land Revenue Rules, adjacent villages, legal representation, community leadership. |
