Petitioner: NOSHER KHAN VS Respondent: TEHSILDAR, TEHSIL JARANWALA and others
Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Muhammad Afzal Zullah, Dr. Javed Iqbal Title: NOSHER KHAN vs TEHSILDAR, TEHSIL JARANWALA and others Case No.: Civil Petition No,820 of 1981 Date of Judgment:1988-07-20 Reported As: 1989 SCMR 1500 Result: Leave refused
Judgment ORDER ' MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.--A Lambardar having challenged the recovery of Government dues and consequential issuance of warrants of his arrest, failed in the High Court in its writ jurisdiction. He has now sought leave to appeal. The question whether any amount is due from the petitioner or not is one of fact. The observation of the High Court that the petitioner had other remedy under the Land Revenue Act has not been challenged. Learned counsel, however, vehemently repeated the argument that the amount being demanded from the petitioner is not due. And that the amount due is less than the demanded one. This question is for the authorities concerned to examine. He even now can seek remedy in accordance with the observations made by the High Court. The dismissal of his writ petition does not suffer from any legal error. Leave to appeal accordingly is refused.
