Civil Petition for Special Leave to Appeal No. 27 |

| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the petition challenging the order of the Member Board of Revenue regarding consolidation proceedings in village Bheelo Mahar. The court found no merit in the arguments presented by the petitioner's counsel, Ch. Hafeez Ahmad, regarding limitations and the validity of the scheme. The court upheld that the learned Collector was aware of the limitation issue and had impliedly condoned the delay by deciding the appeal on merits. The court also noted that objections had been raised previously against the scheme, which were resolved, and thus the argument of an 'agreed scheme' lacked substance. Consequently, the petition was dismissed, and leave was refused. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the consolidation proceedings in village Bheelo Mahar, where a scheme was framed and confirmed by the Assistant Consolidation Officer. The scheme faced challenges from certain respondents, leading to a series of appeals and revisions that culminated in a petition to the Supreme Court of Pakistan. The key legal issues pertained to the limitation of appeals and the validity of the consolidation scheme. The Supreme Court's ruling emphasized the importance of the authority's awareness of limitations when deciding appeals. The court ultimately found no merit in the petitioner's claims, leading to the dismissal of the petition. This case is significant in understanding the procedural aspects of administrative appeals and the authority's discretion in handling time-barred cases. |
