ORDER

1. MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.---Leave to appeal has been sought by the plaintiffs side in a suit for declaration and permanent injunction; against the dismissal by the High Court, of their Regular Second Appeal.

2. The petitioners have lost throughout. The case relates to the acquisition of property by the Respondent Cooperative Society.

3. After hearing the learned counsel, at some length, even if it be be assumed that the petitioners, as argued, were the owners of the land in dispute by virtue of the direct operation of Settlement Scheme No.7, it is doubtful whether in the circumstances of this case the civil suit was competent or that the land could be treated as immune from acquisition. That being so, if at all the petitioners might be entitled to compensation in one or the other form---the learned counsel has stated that in this case the compensation can also be in the form of alternative plot of land in accordance with law and the rules of the Society. In these circumstances and with the foregoing observations we accordingly, do not consider it a fit case for grant of leave to appeal; the same, therefore, is refused. 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.
