| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan reviewed the case involving the allotment of land to Rasool, which was challenged by the petitioner, PROF. BASHIR NASIR. The Lahore High Court had previously ruled that the allotment was without lawful authority. The Supreme Court noted that the petitioner lacked locus standi as a trespasser. However, it acknowledged the necessity for playground space for the schools on the land. The court ordered that while the allotment in Rasool's favor should be maintained, the area occupied by the schools must be excluded from the allotment, and the matter of transferring this area to the institution running the schools should be handled by the notified officer under relevant laws. The court emphasized the importance of providing sufficient playground space for the students. |
