Judgment & Decree

AKHTAR HUSSAIN, F. C.--‑Present Faiz Bakhsh with counsel for petitioners Ch. Ferozuddin, Advocate. Respon dent and his counsel not present: The mode of partition in this case was sanctioned oh 15th August, 1948. Under section 118 (2) of the Land Revenue Act an appeal should have been preferred within 15 days. The partition proceedings were completed on 23rd March, 1949. Faiz Bakhsh was present on that date. The first appeal against the mode of partition was preferred on 22nd April, 1949. It was alleged that the petitioners were minors on the date the mode of partition was sanctioned. As pointed out by the learned Commissioner the minor's interests were sufficiently protected. Another point raised is that partition could not be sanctioned as some of the parties were non‑Muslims. This does not affect the interests of the petitioners. In partition cases the time limit for a appeals against mode of partition has to be strictly observed. I should not interfere in revision in such cases. The petition is rejected. Announced. A. H. Petition rejected.
