The case revolves around the joint transfer of property between Mst. Nafisa Begum and her son Ijaz Ahmad. The Supreme Court upheld the finality of the joint transfer order made by the Additional Settlement Commissioner in 1960, which was not challenged for seven years. The petition for leave to appeal was dismissed as it was deemed devoid of merit, affirming the decisions made by the lower courts. The court emphasized the importance of timely challenges to administrative decisions regarding property transfers and the implications of delays in legal proceedings. |
