Judgment & Decree

NASIM HASAN SHAH, J.‑‑ This is an application for clarification of this Court's order, dated 12‑10‑1983. It is submitted that the mention of Khasra No.408 alongwith Khasra Nos. 409 and 410 as the Khasra Numbers in dispute was a mistake because in point of fact only Khasra Nos.409 and 410 were in dispute but not Khasra No.408. We may observe that this Court in its order dated 12th October, 1983 merely upheld the order of the High Court dated 31‑3‑1980. In the said order the facts were recited as under:‑ "The relevant facts of the case are that the land in dispute comprising Khasra Nos. 409 min and 410 min measuring about 2 Kanals along with other land, situated in village Qutabpur, District Multan." The above recital of facts appears to support the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners that Khasra No. 408 was not in dispute between the parties. Be that as it may we would only observe that this Court in its order dated 12‑10‑1983 had merely maintained the order of the Lahore High Court dated 31‑3‑1980 and it was not our intention either to add to it or subtract from it in any way. Accordingly, the effect of the order of this Court dated 31‑3‑1980 is that the order of the High Court has been upheld and we clarify that the same rules the field. With this clarification this application stands disposed of. M.I./4421/S Order accordingly.
