1. FAZLE-AKBAR, J.-The dispute in this case relates to a building site No. AA/469-B, situated in Mohallah Workshop, Rawalpindi.
2. On 22-2-61 the Deputy Settlement Commissioner transfer--red the entire plot to respondent Mst.
3. Rashida Begum. On 10-7-61 the Deputy Settlement Commissioner directed that this plot should be reserved for Mst. Iffat Begum. In the appeals filed by them the Additional .Settlement Commissioner directed division of the plot and gave one-half to each of the rival contenders and his order was upheld in revision by the Settlement and Rehabilitation Commissioner.
4. Mst. Rashida Begum then moved a writ in the High Court. The learned Judges being of the opinion that "The first order of the Deputy Settlement Commissioner not having been appealed against became final under section 22 of the Displaced Persons (Compensation and Rehabilitation), Act, 1958", held that the subsequent order transferring a part of the property to Mst. Iffat Begum was without lawful authority and of no legal effect. Mst. Iffat Begum seeks special leave to appeal against the above order.
5. It was contended inter alia (i) that the first order dated 22nd February 1961, in favour of Mst. Rashida Begum was passed by the Deputy Settlement Commissioner without giving notice to the petitioner and without disposing of her application for transfer which was pending since 22nd August 1960, and (ii) that Mst. Rashida Begum had applied for transfer of only half of the disputed plot and as such the Deputy Settlement Com--missioner acted in excess of his jurisdiction in transferring the whole plot to her.
