However, the Assistant Collector vide his order dated 16-10-1978 allotted the land to Talib Hussain, respondent No. 4, under the Grow-More-Food Scheme. The petitioner preferred an appeal against the said order in the Court of the Additional Commissioner (Consolidation), Sargodha, which was dismissed on 25-1-1979. Against this order, a revision petition was filed in the Court of the learned Member, Board of Revenue, which also met the same fate on 8-2-1979. He, therefore, filed a writ petition (W. P.
