Judgment & Decree
MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.‑‑Leave to appeal has been sought, against the dismissal by the High Court of petitioners Writ Petition. It had arisen out of dispute relating to and finding by the respondents (Co‑operative Authorities) to the effect that the petitioner was a member of the Co‑operative Society concerned relating to films. He challenged this finding and the consequences flowing there from in the High Court in its writ jurisdiction but without any success. Leave to appeal has now therefore been sought. Learned counsel has tried to seek reversal of the findings of fact rendered against the petitioner by the departmental authorities and affirmed by the High Court in the impugned judgment. After hearing him, at some length, we feel satisfied that the impugned judgment of the High Court does not suffer from any infirmity. It is pertinent to note that the learned counsel has not been able to dislodge the finding by making reference to the relevant documents. The conclusions by the High Court are based, inter alia, on; resolution No.8, dated 12‑4‑1954 passed by the Managing Committee of the Society; and, resolution No.2 passed in the general meeting on 24‑4‑1954; as also the entry, dated 4‑5‑1954 in the ledger, showing that the petitioner had also paid membership fee of Rs.100. We accordingly find no justification for interference. Leave to appeal, therefore, is refused. M.A.K./M‑862/S Leave refused,
