1. M. S. H. QURASHI, J.-Property No. 137, Block 'A', Dera Ghazi Khan, shown to have been in occupation of Abdul Ghafoor and A.I Nawaz, had been transferred by auction in favour of petitioner Bashir Ahmad on 14-3-1960. Property No. 136 had similarly been transferred to one Siraj-ud-Din and Property No. 134 to Jan Muhammad respondent. Bashir Ahmad's miscel--laneous application for demarcation of his property having been rejected on 17-1-1970, he filed an appeal but the same was also rejected on 27-10-1970. Having thus failed to tag the other two properties in Property No. 137, he again applied for correction of evacuee owner's name in his P. T. D., which application was allowed by the Deputy Settlement Commissioner on 16-5-1975, without examining the record, and in this way he got included in his, property the properties of evacuees which had been transferred in the name of Siraj-ud-Din and Jan Muhammad. At the request of Jan Muhammad on 21-7-1975 for correction of evacuee owners' names, the matter was once again examined by the Deputy Settlement Commissioner who after scrutiny of the relevant revenue record noted that the properties bore the following particulars :--- "TaxationKhataRevenue No.Name of Evacuee Owner No.Noand Khasra 1366545 104/10271Mst. Bbambi Bai widow of Chandan Ram 2 shares; Mst. Sita Devi widow of Tek Chand 1 share.
2. 1546546104/10272Mst. JammanBai daughter of Jamman Ram Chubbra.
3. 1376547104/10270Laku Ram son of Sahib Ram Arrora 2 shares ; Mst. Jamna Bai widow of Tek Chand 1 share."
4. Bashir Ahmad, who in response to notice appeared before the Deputy Settlement Commissioner, instead of satisfying him on the factual plane, questioned his competency to proceed in the matter after the repeal of the relevant Act. But the Deputy Settlement Commissioner held that the order of his prodecessor, dated 16-5-1975 allowing the correction of the evacuee owners' names in the P. T.
5. O./P. T. D. Of Bashir Ahmad was void ab initio. He, therefore, by order, dated 29-9-1975 set aside .The said correction and directed that "The names of Mst. Jamna Bai and Bhambi Bai and Sita Devi be deleted from the P. T. D. Under intimation to him. The transfer order in respect of House No. 154 transferred to Jan Muhammad be corrected showing the name of the evacuee as Mst. Jamna Bai daughter of Juman Ram which falls in Khata No. 6546 and Khasra No. 104/ 10272". The petitioner's revision and writ petition having failed, be is now seeking leave to appeal.
2. We feel that the question involved is one of fact relating to the identity and extent of the property transferred in favour of the petitioner, which has been concluded by reference to the relevant revenue record an as such the High Court was not called upon to interfere in the exercise of its constitutional jurisdiction. The petition is, therefore, dismissed.
