| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the petition for leave to appeal against the Lahore High Court's judgment which had previously rejected the petition for allotment of a residential plot reserved for overseas Pakistanis. The court found that the special quota for overseas Pakistanis had been abolished before the petitioner's application could mature. The petitioner's counsel failed to cite any legal provisions that would support their claim for an allotment as a matter of right. Consequently, the concurrent judgments from the lower courts were upheld, and the appeal was dismissed without any merit. |
| Summary |
In the case of Samiuddin Ghori vs Lahore Development Authority, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed issues related to the constitutional rights of overseas Pakistanis concerning the allotment of residential plots. The petitioner sought a direction for the allotment of a residential plot against a quota that was claimed to be reserved for overseas Pakistanis. However, the court noted that this special quota had been abolished prior to the petitioner's application. The counsel for the petitioner was unable to provide any legal basis to claim the allotment, leading to the dismissal of the petition. This case highlights the importance of understanding the legal framework governing property allotments and the necessity for counsel to substantiate claims with relevant laws and provisions.
