Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Muhammad Afzal Zullah, M. S. H. Qureshi Title:ABDUL RAB AND Others vs THE ADDITIONAL SETTLEMENT COMMISSIONER, A. D.
C. (G), MULTAN AND Other Case No.: Civil Petition for Special Leave to Appeal No. 1027 of 1976 Date of Judgment:1983-03-14 Reported As: 1983 SCMR 1090 Result: Petition dismissed Judgment ORDER M. S. H. QURAISHI, J.-The petitioners filed a mukhbari application in a land settlement matter but failed before the relevant authorities because it was filed against dead person, namely, Hasan A.I. They attempted to bring on record the legal representatives of the dead person after the repeal of the relevant law. They sought relief from the High Court in its writ juris--diction and the same having been dismissed, they have sought leave to appeal for which learned caunsel has urged two points : (1) that a separate application against the sons of Hassan A.I was filed by the same petitioners before the authorities ; therefore, the Mukhbari proceeding could proceed on this other application, and (ii) that it was not necessary for the peti--tioners in their Mukhbari application to implead any person, if it was suffi--ciently made clear as to which allotment was under challenge. None of these points were pressed before the learned Judge he High Court. It is mentioned in the order, dated 224-1975 impugned be High Court that Hassan A.I had died nearly 15 years earlier. That being so we do not consider it a fit case for grant of leave to appeal by permitting the petitioners to urge new points. This petition accordingly is dismissed.
