Judgment & Decree

NASIM HASAN SHAH, J.‑The petitioner's writ petition in the High Court (W. P. No. 716‑R of 1977) was admitted to a regular hearing on one question but rejected as regards another matter, namely, his plea that he was entitled to the transfer of servant .quarters of a large house, a portion of which is in his possession. The learned Judge in the High Court on this aspect of the matter observed :‑ "As regards the servant quarters, the learned Settlement Commissioner, after spot inspection, held that those constituted distinct unit being situated on a different Khasra No. and were separated from the main bungalow with a dead wall and opened out in a separate lane. It was directed that those be disposed of separately in favour of the occupant applicants." It was further held that the quarters have been found, after spot inspection by the Settlement Commissioner himself as distinct and separate entity and such a finding was uninterferable by the High Court. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner at some length, examined the site plan and other documents shown to us and are of the opinion that the view taken by the High Court is a just and fair one and does not require any interference. This Petition is, therefore, dismissed. M. Z. M. Petition dismissed
