RAZA ALI, MEMBER.- This revision petition has been preferred for the grant of proprietary fights of the land in dispute.
2. Brief fact of the case arc that the petitioner was allotted State land measuring I0O Kanals comprising Khasra Nos. 40/21, 22/2,41/17, 23 to 25, 44/4, 5, 45/1, 2, 9 to 11, in Chak No. 33/D, Tehsil Depalpur, District Okara under 15 Years Lease Scheme in 1971. The petitioner applied for the grant of proprietary rights which was rejected on the ground that the land was not brought under cultivation upto the required extent of 50 per cent vide Colony Assistant/Collector's order dated 13.5.1980. However, the District Collector, allowed him proprietary rights of 3 acres only in his absence on 13.5.1981 and resumed remaining 9 Acres and 4 Kanals. Thereafter however whole of land was resumed in 1987 for non-payment of dues. The petitioner has requested for restoration of the lease and grant of proprietary rights of the same.
3. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and have perused the record available in this file.
4. In this case, the lease of the petitioner for whole of the land i.e. I00 Kanals appears to have been cancelled due to non-cultivation of the land to the required extent and non-payment of dues after 1987- I, therefore, condone the lapses with a penalty of Rs. 5000/- and restore lease in dispute extending the same upto Rabi 1995. The petitioner should deposit arrears of lagan enhanced from the to the with penalty of Rs. 5,000/- within three months from the receipt of this order enabling himself to apply for the grant of proprietary rights under the new scheme of 19.3.1995. The orders of the lower Courts are modified accordingly.
5. With the above observations and directions, the revision petition is disposed of.
