Judgment Text

Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Alvin R. Cornelius, Dr. Sheikh Abdul Rahman Title: ABDUL MAJID vs CHIEF SETTLEMENT COMMISSIONER AND 6 OTHER Case No.: Civil Review Petition No. 57 of 1966 Civil Appeal No. 84 of 1964 Date of Judgment:1970-10-23 Reported As: 1970 SCMR 34 Result: Petition dismissed JUDGMENT JUDGMENT S. A. RAHMAN, J.-Abdul Majid's appeal from an order of the High Court, by which his writ petition, calling in question the validity of certain orders of the Settlement and Rehabilitation Department, was dismissed, was heard by a Bench of three Judges of this Court, and dismissed by order dated the 3rd May 1967. This is a petition on his behalf for review of that judgment. The main point urged by Mr. Fazl-i-Mahmood in support of the petition for review, is that the interpretation of the substantive part of section 2 (12) and the two provisos sub joined to that section, adopted by this Court, was erroneous. This point has been fully dealt with in the impugned order of this Court, and the contention raised merely amounts to a plea that another-inter-- pretation of the relevant provisions was possible, and should have been adopted. This furnishes no ground for review. The petition is dismissed.
