ORDER

SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.---The- petitioners in this petition for special leave to appeal are the successors-in-interest of one Jamadar who obtained an allotment of land in village Bhuller Mairewala of Tehsil Pasrur of District Sialkot. On a Mukhbari application filed by respondents Nos. 2 to 9 under section 10/ 11, Displaced Persons (Land Settlement) Act, 1958, the Additional Settlement Commissioner cancelled the allotment -on the ground that it was a bogus one. The petitioners challenged the order of the Additional Settlement Commissioner in writ jurisdiction before the High Court. From the order of the High Court it appears that the only ground advanced by them was that the Additional Settlement Commissioner was not a notified officer and as such he was not competent to make the impugned order. The High Court examined this plea and found that the said ground was without any merit. Accordingly, it dismissed the writ petition. The petitioners now seek leave to appeal from this Court.

2. In support of this petition it is contended that the finding of the Additional Settlement Commissioner that the allotment was a bogus one was not supported by the relevant record. It is to be noticed that this contention was not raised before the High Court, We are not therefore prepared to entertain it. 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.
