ORDER

SAAD SAOOD JAN, J: --Upon a Mukhbari application filed by Fateh Muhammad, predecessor-in- interest of respondents Nos.4 to 9, the allotment of the petitioner was reduced by 178 P.I. Units on the ground that these were in excess of his entitlement. The land so withdrawn from him was allotted to Fateh Muhammad. The petitioner filed a Constitution petition before the High Court. In his petition, he did not dispute that he had obtained excess allotment but claimed that he was entitled to purchase the land taken away from hip. His petition was dismissed by the High Court. He now seeks leave to appeal from this Court.

2. After hearing the learned counsel, we find no merit in this petition. Under subsection (1-A) of section 14, Displaced Persons (Land Settlement) Act, Fateh Muhammad had a statutory right to receive the land which had been withdrawn from the allotment of the petitioner consequent upon the information furnished by him. This petition is dismissed.
