| Decision |
The revision petition was accepted, setting aside the impugned order of the Additional Commissioner. The court directed the creation of a new path through specified field numbers to correct the prior error in the path's location. The decision was based on the compelling considerations of public good and the willingness of the parties involved. |
| Summary |
This case involves a revision petition filed under the West Pakistan Consolidation of Holdings Ordinance regarding the wrong location of a path connecting the village Chak R.S. with the Shujabad-Multan Road. The petitioners argued that the path was wrongly located on the southern side of the fields, while essential public welfare projects were situated on the northern side. The Additional Commissioner dismissed the appeal due to a delay of over three years. The Board of Revenue accepted the petition, emphasizing the importance of correcting bona fide mistakes for public welfare. The court's decision highlights the necessity of aligning administrative actions with public interests and the legal framework governing land consolidation. This case serves as a significant reference in matters related to land management and public welfare, reinforcing the principle that errors can be rectified in the interest of the community, especially when there is mutual consent among affected parties. |
