Petitioner: MUHAMMAD SHARIF AND Others VS Respondent: THE ADMINISTRATOR (RESIDUAL PROPERTIES), MULTAN AND Other
Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Muhammad Afzal Zullah, Shafi-ur-Rehman Title:MUHAMMAD SHARIF AND Others vs THE ADMINISTRATOR (RESIDUAL
PROPERTIES), MULTAN AND Other Case No.: Civil Petition for Special Leave to Appeal No. 677 of 1981 Date of Judgment:1983-02-06 Reported As: 1983SCMR1140 Result: Leave refused Judgment ORDER MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.-Leave to appeal has been sought from order dated 30-3-1981, of the Lahore High Court, whereby a Constitutional petition arising out of an urban settlement case, was dismissed in limine. Petitioners applied for the transfer of a property in 1979, which was transferred to the respondent No. 3 nearly two decades ago, on the plea that the said transfer was nor of the whole unit and that some parts thereof are `available' for transfer under Settlement Scheme No. IX. The findings of fact, however, are that the whole of the property had been transferred and that petitioners' application suffered from inordinate delay, which would in law amount to laches. After hearing the learned counsel who pressed arguments to challenge findings of fact, we do not consider it a fit case for reopening the questions of fact which stand properly concluded. No question of law or principle isinvolved. This petition is dismissed.
