The Supreme Court of Pakistan remanded the case back to the Lahore High Court for its decision according to law, stating that the petitioners were not properly considered in the previous judgments. The Court highlighted that the petitioners were impleaded late in the proceedings and their case was not addressed in the High Court's decision. The Court emphasized the need for a fresh hearing to ensure that the petitioners' rights were examined appropriately. The ruling underscores the importance of due process and fair representation in legal proceedings. |
| Summary |

The case highlights issues of property rights, historical land transactions, and the interpretation of laws regarding displaced persons.
