ORDER
GHULAM MUJADDID MIRZA, J.‑‑Hafiz Ahmad son of Abdul Hakim. Sidhu Jat, resident of 7‑Civil Lines, Malik Anwar Road Sheikhupura, by means of this petition for special leave to appeal has impugned the judgment of the Lahore High Court dated 25‑4‑1981 in Writ Petition No.645/S/80 and order dated 2‑5‑1981 in C.M No.1262/81.
Before discussing the contention we would like to observe that the Constitution petition filed by Hafiz Ahmad against the respondents was finally disposed of by order dated 25‑4‑1981. It so appears that thereafter a miscellaneous application was moved by the petitioner. That was also dismissed by the learned Judge of the High Court observing thereby "that the main petition has already been disposed of". So, the only question to be examined in this petition is whether there is any justification to grant leave against the order of the High Court dated 25‑4‑1981.
Learned counsel appearing in support of this petition all along argued for the payment of arrears to the petitioner but he was unable to convince us that the order of the High Court was not in accordance with law. We agree with the view taken by the learned Judge. Leave is declined.
M.I./H‑43/8 Petition dismissed.
