| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the petition for special leave to appeal from the judgment of the Lahore High Court which had dismissed Writ Petition No. 7296 of 1980. The Court found that the petitioners had been given land according to their entitlement and that their objections regarding the specific location of the land did not justify the cancellation of the entire consolidation scheme. The Court also noted that the objections raised lacked factual basis and were without substance. |
| Summary |
In the case of Ahmad Khan and others vs. Muhammad Din and others, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed a petition seeking special leave to appeal against a decision by the Lahore High Court regarding the West Pakistan Consolidation of Holdings Ordinance. The petitioners contended that their land was not allocated properly under the consolidation scheme, arguing that they had not been given specific land as entitled. The Court ruled that the petitioners had received land according to their entitlement and that their objections did not warrant the cancellation of the consolidation scheme for the entire village. The Court emphasized that the objections raised were without factual basis and upheld the decisions made by the lower courts. This case underscores the importance of adhering to legal procedures in land consolidation cases and highlights the limitations of objections raised without substantial evidence. |
