' M. MAHBOOB AHMAD,C J.---This revision petition under section 21 of the Displaced Persons (Land Settlement) Act, 1958 is directed against the judgment of the Chief Settlement and Rehabilitation Commissioner dated 19-1-1973.
2. The dispute in this case relates to an area of about 7 Kanals and 7 Marlas situate in Mandi Kamoki, Tehsil and District Gujranwala which was allotted and confirmed in favour of Boota respondent No,2 herein. This allotment was challenged by the petitioner by filing a review petition which was dismissed by Deputy Settlement Commissioner, Gujranwala on 25-10-1962. He thereupon took an appeal to the Settlement Commissioner which also met with failure in view of policy letter dated 18-5-1962. Still feeling aggrieved, a revision was filed by him before the Chief Settlement and Rehabilitation Commissioner which was rejected on 27-6-1963. The petitioner thereupon applied for review of the aforementioned order which also failed.
3. The above orders of the Chief Settlement Commissioner were assailed by the petitioner by filing Settlement Revision No,28/1964. This revision was accepted by this Court on the ground that the petitioner had not been heard by the Chief Settlement Commissioner and the case was remanded to him, to decide it afresh after granting an opportunity to the parties of being heard. In the post- remand proceedings, the Chief Settlement Commissioner passed order dated 19-1-1973 which has been impugned in this petition.
4. Malik Saeed Hassan, the learned Advocate counsel for the petitioner only submitted that as the land in dispute had been declared as building site, it could not have been transferred to respondent No,2 against his rural claim and the petitioner was entitled to its transfer being in possession of the same.
5. The contention of the learned counsel is devoid of any force. There is nothing on the record to show that the land in dispute was ever declared as a building site. On the other hand, the Chief Settlement Commissioner in his impugned order has observed:- "It is a fact that the petitioners were allotted urban land on the basis of their verified claims on 21-4- 1962 and 11-5-1962 Rs,. Before the issue of letter dated 18-5-1962. Again, this letter which was addressed to the Director Food was not followed by any formal notification declaring the urban land still available in Mandi Kamoki as building site. In fact, the Chief Settlement and Re-habilitation Commissioner's proposal to the Central Government made in his letter No,300-Secy: (G)/62 dated 3010-1962 for the sale of building sites within the municipal limits of Kamoki to the Rice Mill owners was not accepted by the Government of Pakistan as per their reply No,F.5 (37)/C2-SP, dated 17-11- 1962."
6. Nothing has been canvassed at the Bar which could detract from the correctness of the above observation. Furthermore, the petitioner does not B appear to have any locus standi to challenge allotment in favour of respondent No,2. For the foregoing reasons, the petition fails and is dismissed without any order as to costs.
