| Decision |
The case revolves around the partition of a joint Khata without the necessary orders from a competent authority. The respondent, Muhammad Aslam, claimed to be a co-sharer in Khewat No. 196 and contested the establishment of separate Khatas by the Patwari. The Board of Revenue upheld the District Collector's decision to correct the record, declaring the actions of the Patwari illegal and ordering proceedings against the officials involved for misconduct. The petitioners' revision petition was dismissed as the partition was deemed invalid, emphasizing the need for competent authority's approval in such matters. |
| Summary |
This case highlights the legal nuances surrounding land revenue regulations in Punjab, specifically the West Pakistan Land Revenue Act (XVII of 1967). The core issue was the improper partitioning of a joint Khata by a Patwari without requisite authority, leading to legal disputes among co-sharers. The case underscores the importance of adhering to established legal procedures in land transactions and the potential repercussions for officials who fail to comply. As land ownership disputes are common, this case serves as a significant precedent in emphasizing the need for lawful authority in property partitioning. Key terms include 'joint Khata', 'land revenue', 'Patwari misconduct', and 'legal authority'. |
