| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan refused the leave to appeal concerning the resumption of state land due to non-compliance with agricultural obligations. The High Court had previously dismissed the writ petition filed by the petitioners, and the Supreme Court found no infirmities in the High Court's findings. The case revolved around the failure to cultivate the land as per the prescribed conditions, leading to a conclusion against the petitioners based on factual determinations from the Crop Inspection Register. The main arguments raised by the petitioners were deemed insufficient to overturn the High Court's ruling. |
| Summary |
In this case, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed issues regarding the resumption of state land under the Colonization of Government Lands (Punjab) Act, 1912, and the Constitution of Pakistan, 1973. The petitioners, JANAT BIBI and others, challenged the High Court's decision concerning the resumption of land due to allegations of non-cultivation. The Supreme Court found that the High Court had properly examined the evidence, particularly the Crop Inspection Register, which indicated non-compliance with agricultural requirements. The case highlights the importance of adhering to agricultural conditions stipulated by law and the role of the courts in interpreting these compliance issues. The decision serves as a precedent in matters concerning land use and agricultural obligations under state regulations. Legal representatives for the petitioners and respondents provided arguments regarding the interpretation of the relevant laws, but the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's findings, emphasizing the factual basis of the case. This decision reinforces the legal framework surrounding land management and agricultural practices in Pakistan. |
