| Summary |
In the case before the Board of Revenue, Punjab, the petitioner Noor Muhammad challenged the proprietary rights granted to Nazar Muhammad under the Grow More Food Scheme. The petitioner claimed rightful ownership based on historical records, including the Register of Allotment and Jamabandi entries, which supported his claim dating back to 1958. The respondent's possession records were found to have been tampered with after 1978-79, leading to the wrongful allotment of the land to him. The court, upon reviewing the evidence, ruled in favor of the petitioner, allowing him to purchase the proprietary rights and canceling the respondent's rights. This case highlights the significance of accurate land record maintenance and the legal implications of tampering with such records.
