' Earlier on a petition filed (W.P. 443/R of 1977) this Court on 2nd of December, 1985 had declared the order dated 7th April, 1976 passed by the Additional Settlement Commissioner (Lands) Gujranwala to be without lawful authority and of no legal effect and the case was remitted to the Settlement Authorities for its decision afresh in accordance with law after hearing all the parties concerned including the petitioner. It appears that in the post remand proceedings the matter has yet to be decided by the Settlement Authorities.
2. Syed H. M. Naqvi, Advocate, the learned counsel for the petitioner states that the same could not have been decided in view of the fact that in the connected writ petitions this Court has granted stay orders, Those writ petitions have been disposed of today with the result that the stay order is not now in operation. In these circumstances there is no impediment in the way of the Settlement Authorities to decide the matter afresh in accordance with the order passed by this Court on 2nd of December, 1985 in W.P. No,443-R of 1977.
' The petition stands disposed of in the above terms.
