It was the condition of this allotment under the Scheme that the land could not be allotted to any other claim holder.

Nevertheless on Rehmat Ali's conviction and incarceration in jail in a murder case for 10 years deprived him of the allotment because in his absence the land was allotted to the predecessor-in- interest of the petitioners against a claim without the knowledge and notice to him. On release from jail respondent No, 2, challenged the said second allotment and succeeded with the Settlement Authorities. The petitioners sought relief from the High Court in its writ jurisdiction but failed. They have sought leave to appeal.
3. ' Learned counsel repeated the same main argument which was considered by High Court namely of delayed challenge by the respondent No, 2, in the circumstances of the case it was rightly repelded on facts stated above. He then argued that the reservation of Jammu and Kashmir refugees' rights regarding Guzara land in the Scheme was without statutory support but failed to advance any cogent reason.
