ORDER

NASIM HASAN SHAH, J.--The petitioner filed a suit to challenge the order of transfer of the property in question by the order, dated 3-10-1968 passed by Tehsildar Sheikhupura, exercising powers of the Assistant Settlement Commissioner (Land) under Settlement Scheme No. VII.

2. The Civil Court decreed the suit but, on appeal, the learned Additional District Judge held that the Civil Court had no jurisdiction in the matter and accepted the appeal. Then High Court agreed with the view of the learned Additional District Judge.

3. The view of the learned Additional District Judge and upheld by the High Court that the Settlement Authorities had exclusive jurisdiction in a case of this kind is plainly correct.

4. No ground for interference.
