| Hearing Date |
Oct 10, 1987 |
| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the petitioner's application for the allotment of a plot in the extension scheme of Lala Rukh No.2, Wah Cantt., due to his ineligibility as he owned a plot in the same area. The court upheld the findings of the Lahore High Court, stating that the minutes of the Cantonment Board recommending the removal of the ineligibility clause were inoperative without approval from the Director, Military Lands. The court found no merit in the case for granting leave to appeal, thereby dismissing the petition. |
