Judgment & Decree
Master Chiragh Din v . Abdul Hakim and others P L D 1974 Lah. 370 and Nisar Ahmad and 2 others v. Additional Secretary Food and Agriculture, Government' of Pakistan, Islamabad and 3 others 1979 SCMR 389 ref. Muhammad Younis Bhatti and Kanwar Muhammad Younis for Petitioner. Mian Bashir Ahmad Bhatti, Khan Saeed-ud-Din Khan and M. Safdar Yasin for Respondents. Petitioner claiming to be a tenant in occupation of Evacuee Trust Property, seeks to have set aside order of Joint Secretary, Ministry of Religious and Minority Affairs, Government of Pakistan, Islamabad, passed in revisional jurisdiction, confirming order, dated 25-11-1978 of Chairman, Evacuee Trust Property Board. Petition was admitted on 3-11-1982. It has come up for hearing today in the presence of learned counsel for the parties.
2. Learned counsel have been heard. Admittedly, the petitioner claims to be in possession as tenant. In that capacity, he lacks locus standi to impugned the orders passed by authorities under Act XIII of 1975. Reference may, with advantage, be made to Master Chiragh Din v. Abdul Hakim and others P L D 1974 Lah. 370 and Nisar Ahmad and two others v. Additional Secretary Food and Agriculture, Government of Pakistan, Islamabad and 3 others 1979 S C M R 389.
3. In view of the law laid down in the two precedent cases referred to above, I am of the opinion that the petitioner has no grievance to make, to call in question orders passed by the competent authorities in proper exercise of their jurisdiction. Writ petition fails and is dismissed with no orders as to costs. H . B . T . Petition dismissed.
