MUHAMMAD ALI and 3 others Case No.: Civil Petition for Leave to Appeal No,111 of 1984 Date of Judgment:1970-01-01 Reported As: 1989 SCMR 1248 Result: Petition dismissed Judgment ORDER ' MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.--Leave to appeal has been sought, against the dismissal by the High Court, of a Constitutional petition which had arisen out of a Lambardari appointment case. The learned Judge in the High Court took note of two aspects of the case. One, that the petitioner who was seeking appointment as Lambardar "is Lambardar of two other villages already". And secondly, that the reason given by the learned Member, Board of Revenue for not appointing the petitioner cannot be regarded as in substantial. ' After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner on both the questions noted above, we do not find any justification for interference as the approach of the High Court regarding its discretionary writ jurisdiction in Lambardari cases, is unexceptionable. Leave to appeal, therefore,is refused.
