ASLAM RIAZ HUSSAIN, J.--Petitioner seeks leave to appeal against the judgment of the High Court, dated 13-2-1980, dismissing his writ petition relating to the auction of certain Government land in petitioner's favour.
2. The auction took place on 5-9-1977 which was approved by the Deputy Commissioner. But subsequently, however, the Board of Revenue refused to confirm it. The petitioner challenged the order of the Board of Revenue through a review application against the same but it was dismissed by the Board of Revenue. The petitioner then challenged the said orders through a Constitution petition which was rejected by the impugned judgment.
3. The only contention raised by the petitioner's counsel before us is that before refusing to confirm the auction in petitioner's favour he had not been heard by the Member Board of Revenue, which according to him violates the rule of natural justice.
4. We are not inclined to agree with this contention as it was the discretion of the Board of Revenue to confirm or refuse to confirm the auction, without hearing him. In this view of the matter the petition is dismissed. revisions by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the official sources or legal professionals for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
