Judgment & Decree

MUHAMMAD NAWAZ ABBASI, J.‑‑‑This review petition under Article 188 of the .Constitution of Islamic Republic ofPakistan, 1973 has been preferred seeking review of the judgment dated 9‑4‑2002 passed by this Court in Civil Appeal No.640 of 1995.

2. The dispute in the appeal related to allotment of evacuee agricultural land with the house constructed on, it, under Displaced Persons (Land Settlement) Act, 1958 This Court having considered al' aspects of the matter, concluded that neither the house was independent property to that of the agricultural land nor the Deputy Administrator and Administrator (RP) were competent to re‑open the matter in power under the Evacuee Property and Displaced Persons Laws (Repeal) Act. 1975.

3. Learned counsel for the, petitioner has contended that the original order dated 15‑11‑1961 relating to the allotment of land with house, passed by the Additional Commissioner (Settlement) as incorporated in the RL‑II, was not produced during the proceedings before the Deputy Administrator and Administrator (RP), therefore, a presumption would be raised regarding the non‑existence of the said order. The second contention raised by the learned counsel relates to the character of property. It is argued that the house in question was neither a part of agricultural land allotted to the petitioner nor it was ever treated by the Settlement Authorities as such and that it was an independent property.

4. We are afraid the above grounds urged by the learned counsel in support of this review petition having been considered at length in the judgment, were found without any substance. Learned counsel without pointing out any patent error on the face of record in the judgment, made an attempt to re‑open the matter and re‑argue the grounds already taken in appeal and discussed in detail in the judgment.

5. This review petition having no force is accordingly, dismissed. M.H./I‑66/S Petition dismissed.
