R.O.R. No. 1941 of 1986 |
| Decision Date |
Feb 13, 1990 |
| Hearing Date |
Nov 21, 1989 |
| Decision |
The revision petition was dismissed on the grounds that the petitioners had tried to improve their case at every stage by increasing the number of respondents and alienating land during the pendency of litigation. The courts found that the petitioners had not been in possession of the land they claimed, and their conduct barred them from seeking relief. The consent of a co-sharer was deemed sufficient, and the authorities did not commit any error in accepting it. |
| Summary |
In the case of R.O.R. No. 1941 of 1986, brought before the Board of Revenue in Punjab, the petitioners Rafique Ahmad and others challenged the decision regarding the consolidation of their land holdings under the West Pakistan Consolidation of Holdings Ordinance, 1960. The case revolved around the revision petition filed against an order dismissing their appeal regarding land entitlements and the legitimacy of increasing respondents throughout the proceedings. The Board highlighted that the petitioners' actions to include more respondents at each stage were aimed at improving their case, which was not permissible. The court ruled that the petitioners had alienated their land during the litigation process, which disqualified them from seeking meaningful relief. The decision emphasized the importance of maintaining proper procedure in consolidation cases and the implications of consent from co-sharers. This case is significant in understanding the intricacies of land consolidation laws and the procedural requirements involved in such disputes. |
