4. Date of hearing: 20th July, 1991. Earlier on a petition filed (W.P. 443/R of 1977) this Court on 2nd of December, 1985 had declared the order dated 7th April, 1976 passed by the Additional Settlement Commissioner (Lands) Gujranwala to be without lawful authority and of no legal effect and the case was remitted to the Settlement Authorities for its decision afresh in accordance with law after hearing all the parties concerned including the petitioner. It appears that in the post remand proceedings the matter has yet to be decided by the Settlement Authorities.
