| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the petition filed by Nawazish Ali Khan seeking the return of Rs. 1,20,50,000 paid to the Zila Council for the right to collect excavation tax. The court found that the Zila Council had auctioned the right to collect the tax despite knowing that the Provincial Government had abolished it. The petitioner was also implicated in the wrongful act and had been collecting the tax in collusion with the Zila Council. The court imposed a fine of Rs.20,000 on the petitioner for his role in this matter. |
