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.

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. No. 1356/79) in the Lahore High Court, which was dismissed by a learned Single Judge on 27-7-1980. Hence this petition for leave to appeal.
