ORDER

' SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.--The petitioners are dissatisfied with the consolidation proceedings inasmuch as they have not been allowed to retain 60 kanals of land falling in rectangles No,1631 and 1632. Their constitutional petition challenging the order of the consolidation authorities was dismissed by the High Court and they now seek leave to appeal from this Court.

2. It has already been observed in a number of judgments by this Court that the writ jurisdiction is not the proper forum for agitating grievances against the allocation of land in consolidation proceedings (see Ghulam Qadir v. Member, Board of Revenue 1970 SCMR 292, Muhammad Hussain Munir v. Sikandar PLD 1974 SC 139 and Amir Din etc. v. Muhammad Malik 1981 SCMR 834.

The High Court was therefore, justified in not interfering with the orders of the consolidation authorities. This petition is accordingly dismissed.
