Power of review available to the Custodian under Ss.18-A & 18-B of Pakistan (Administration of Evacuee Property) Act, 1957 could be exercised only at the time of grant of proprietary rights, but not later on

Such powers were available regardless of time limit

Provisions of S.43(6) of Pakistan (Administration of Evacuee Property) Act, 1957, dealt with the general powers of the Custodian, whereas the, powers available under Ss.18-A & 18-B of the Act, were restricted to be exercised at the time of grant of proprietary rights

Provisions of S.43(6) of Pakistan (Administration of Evacuee Property) Act, 1957, had wisely been kept on statute book so that the Custodian could review his earlier order or even orders of his predecessors, if justice and law would so demand

Powers under S.43(6) were regardless of time limit.
