| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the petition filed by Muhammad Nawaz, who sought leave to appeal against the decision of the Lahore High Court that had previously dismissed his constitutional petition. The court found that the recommendations made by the District Remount Officer in favor of the petitioner were not sufficient to override the concurrent findings of the Commissioner and the Board of Revenue, which deemed the respondent, Mian Liaquat Ali, as a more suitable candidate for the tenancy. The court emphasized the importance of the suitability of the candidates over the choice of the Collector, stating that multiple courts had consistently agreed on this matter. Consequently, the Supreme Court upheld the lower courts' decisions and refused to grant leave to appeal. |
