1. ' SAJJAD AHMED JAN, J.-This petition for special leave to arises out of the dismissal of a revision petition filed by the petitioner in the High Court, under section 21 of the Land Settlement Act, against the order of the Chief Settlement Commissioner, rejecting his application, under sections 10 and 11 of the same Act, for cancellation of the land allotted to respondent No,. 5, Mst. Maryam Bibi, in village Sian. The contention made on behalf of the petitioner was that being a sitting allottee in the aforesaid village, he had a preferential right to the allotment of the land, as against the aforesaid respondent, whose claim, according to him, had not been validly transferred to that village. The learned Judges of the High Court have observed that sections 10 and 11 of the Displaced Persons (Land Settlement) Act were not attracted to the case, as it was not shown that the respondent had obtained the land in question fraudulently in excess of her entitlement, nor was the land in question in her name ever cancelled by any competent person, to give a locus standi to the petitioner to its allotment. It is rightly pointed out in the High Court's order that according to the procedure, an allotment is proposed in the first instance, to a claimant and fifteen days are allowed to elapse before the proposal is finalized. The confirmation of the allotment is done in an open meeting. The petitioner did not raise any objection to the allotment in favour of the respondent, nor did he at any stage challenge that allotment, which, thus, became final.
2. ' No defect is apparent in the order of the Chief Settlement Commissioner in giving this land to the respondent. The revision petition of the petitioner was rightly dismissed by the. High Court, and we see no valid ground for interference. This petition is dismissed.
