1. ' JAVID IQBAL, J.--This petition for leave is directed against judgment of the Lahore High Court Multan Bench dated 30th March, 1983 whereby writ petition of the petitioner was dismissed.

In revision the Member Board of Revenue set aside the order of the Commissioner and upheld the order of Collector, whereupon the petitioner challenged it by way of writ petition which was dismissed as stated above on the ground that it was essentially a matter of selection and the selection of one over the other when both were eligible by competent authority cannot be considered an act without lawful authority.
