ORDER

' HAMID ALI MIRZA, J.--- This civil petition is directed against the judgment dated 19-9-2003 passed in Writ Petition No,4751 of 1993 by learned Judge in Chambers of the Lahore High Court, Multan Bench, whereby the said writ petition was allowed hence the present petition.

2. Facts of the case need not be reiterated as the same have been stated in the impugned judgment as well as in the memo. Of petition.

3. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and caveat or and have gone through the record. We find that learned Judge in Chambers of High Court passed the impugned order on the wrong assumption that it was a case of demarcation and eviction of a person in unauthorized possession. Perusal of application filed by the petitioner at page 37 of the Paper Book would show that it was a case of forcible wrongful dispossession of the predecessors-in-interest of the petitioners by the respondent No,6. The said order dated 21-7-1993 obtained by the petitioner's predecessor was not challenged before the Revenue Authority by way of appeal by the respondents but a suit was filed by the respondent No,6 which was subsequently withdrawn and then writ petition was filed which on the face of record was not competent in view A of the factual controversy, in the circumstances of the case. We also find that Rules 67-A and 67-B of the Land Revenue Rules, 1968 were not applicable in the case as it was not a case of demarcation or eviction of the person in unauthorized possession in lieu thereof.

2.(sic) In the circumstances of the case the impugned order cannot be sustained. Accordingly, this petition is converted into appeal and allowed however, the aggrieved party would at liberty to avail the remedy before appropriate forum in accordance with law.
