Judgment & Decree
Syed Zahid Hussain, Advocate Supreme Court instructed by Tanvir Ahmad, Advocate‑on‑Record for Petitioners. . Ch. ‑Khalil‑ur‑Rehman, Senior Advocate Supreme Court for Respondents. Date of hearing: 21st January, 1992. NASIM HASAN SHAH, J: ‑‑The only ground pressed in this case is that this Court overlooked the order of the Chief Settlement Commissioner dated. 25‑2‑1961 to the effect. "Please ask the Additional Settlement Commissioner, Lahore, to transfer as alternate accommodation to Syed Muhammad Hussain." Accordingly, even if the petitioners herein, for any reason, could not be transferred the building housing the school they are at least entitled to the transfer of some evacuee property in lieu of their verified claim. There is force in this submission. The petitioners are displaced persons with a verified claim and have been locked in litigation for the last 30 years vainly trying to secure implementation of the above order of the Chief Settlement Commissioner. The petitioners are clearly entitled to transfer of some evacuee property in lieu of their verified claim and the Settlement authorities should now take energetic steps to transfer some evacuee property which is still available and transfer the same in their favour. With these observations this review petition is disposed of. A.A./A‑930/S Order accordingly:
