| Decision |
The Lahore High Court disposed of W.P. No. 232398-2018, directing the respondent to place the case of the petitioners in the bonafide commission constituted under the Lahore Development Authority Commission Rules, 2014, for decision in accordance with the law. The court found that the sale deed in favor of the petitioner had been partially cancelled, and the mutation had been revised. The background of litigation between the petitioner and others was not adequately brought to the court's notice, leading to the conclusion that certain questions of fact could not be resolved at this stage. The court emphasized the need for the commission to address these matters, ensuring compliance with the due process of law. |
| Summary |
In the case of W.P. No. 232398 of 2018, the Lahore High Court addressed a constitutional petition concerning the ownership of land based on a registered sale deed. The petitioner, Munir Ahmad, faced issues in securing mutation for the property due to prior transactions that complicated ownership claims. The court noted that the sale deed had been partially cancelled, and various legal proceedings had transpired, including a civil suit that declared the sale deed as fake. The court ultimately directed the case to be reviewed by a specialized commission to ensure fair adjudication of the issues surrounding property ownership, emphasizing the importance of due process in resolving property disputes. This case highlights the complexities involved in land ownership disputes in Pakistan, particularly in relation to the Lahore Development Authority's regulatory framework. |
