' JUSTICE AF7AB HUSSAIN (CHAIRMAN).-The petitioner has sent the written arguments and has made a request that the case be heard at Lahore by a Bench of which the Chief Justice may not be a member since he is already a party to the earlier judgment of this Court in PLD 1981 F SC 139-144.
2. There is no ground for hearing of this case at Lahore. The mere fact that a Judge has been a party to an earlier judgment does not disqualif A him from being a member of any other Bench seized of a similar question.
3. We have considered the entire written statement which was read in Court. Inspire of the absence of the petitioner we do not find any ground to dissent from the judgment of this Court in which all the points raised by the petitioner have been taken into consideration. This is sufficient answer to the petitioner's arguments that the land governed by the Colonization (Punjab) Act, 1912 is not Mawat land to which the different traditions cited by him may apply. In this view of the matter this petition is no more maintainable, it is accordingly dismissed.
