Judgment & Decree
GHULAM MUJADDID, J.‑‑‑The petitioner seeks leave to appeal against the judgment of the Lahore High Court dated 30‑1I‑1985 whereby Constitutional petition filed by him was dismissed.

In support of the aforesaid contention learned counsel relied on the case of Ahmad Din v. Bashir Ahmad and others (P L D 1979 Lah. 330). The point raised by the learned counsel requires detailed examination. We accordingly grant leave to appeal just to examine this very legal proposition. Security Rs.5,
