ORDER

Leave to appeal has been sought from judgment dated 14-1-1979 of the Lahore High Court; whereby an Intra-Court Appeal filed by the petitioner relating to his eviction from Government land, was dismissed.

2. It is not denied that the land in question which was originally evacuee land had become Government land on account of exchange made between the Custodian Evacuee Property and the Provincial Government. The petitioner claims to be the allottee of the land when it was evacuee property. He further claimed to have remained in possession even when it became Government property. When the petitioner was sought to be evicted by the Government for public purpose the petitioner resisted on the ground that he had become the tenant under the Government. His plea having failed up to the High Court in its Constitutional jurisdiction, he has now sought leave to appeal.

3. Learned counsel has not been able to satisfy us that the petitioner had become tenant under Government either through operation of any law or on account of any contract. He had no right whatsoever to retain the possession.

4. There is no force in this petition and the same 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.
