| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the revision petition against the judgment and decree dated 27-5-2003, passed by the learned Additional District Judge, Bhakkar. The court found that the Appellate Court's decision to reverse the Trial Court's dismissal of the plaintiffs' suit was valid, as the evidence showed that the predecessor-in-interest of the respondents was allotted 120 kanals of land, but only 113 kanals and 14 marlas were transferred. The Appellate Court ruled that the department's claim regarding the land being Ghair Mumkin Parao was not substantiated by any documents, and thus, the plaintiffs were entitled to the full allotment. The court upheld the Appellate Court's decree, confirming the plaintiffs' rights to the land in question. |
| Summary |
In the case of Province of Punjab Through Collector Bhakkar vs Muhammad Ikram and Others, the Lahore High Court addressed a civil revision concerning the allotment of land under the Specific Relief Act, 1877. The case revolved around the claim that the predecessor-in-interest of the respondents was wrongfully deprived of 6 kanals and 6 marlas of land from an allotment of 120 kanals. The Trial Court initially dismissed the suit, but the Appellate Court reversed this decision, leading to a revision petition by the Province of Punjab. The High Court found no merit in the revision, as the evidence indicated that the allotment was improperly reduced. The judgment reinforced the importance of adhering to procedural requirements in land allotments, emphasizing that claims must be supported by proper documentation. This case highlights issues related to land rights, administrative accountability, and the legal recourse available under the Specific Relief Act, making it a significant reference in property law disputes. |
