' This is a second review petition which has come up before me for hearing on the point of admissibility as apparently this review is time-barred. It reveals that the petitioner had preferred a revision petition in respect of S. Nos. 19, 21 and others admeasuring 163-31 acres of Deh Guko Taluka Warah, District Larkana which was rejected by the then learned Member (Judicial-ID, Board of Revenue, West Pakistan vide order dated 30-4-1969. The petitioner filed a review petition against the above-said order on 7-10-1970 which was too rejected vide the impugned order dated 31-7- 1975 passed by the then learned Addl. Member-11, Board of Revenue, Sind (Mr. O. M. Qarni) on the point of limitation and with the observations that: "as regards the merits of the case, if the counsel of the petitioner is able to convince me, it can be taken up on suo moto side under section 164 of the Land Revenue Act."
2. The facts of the case are already discussed in both the previous orders and need not be reproduced.
3. I have heard the counsel for the petitioner at length and perused the case papers. The learned counsel is not able to rebut the findings of my learned brother M. O. Mr. Qarni to the effect that the review petition filed and heard before him was time-barred and further that this matter can also be taken up on suo motu side under section 164 of the Land Revenue Act. Obviously this section empowers the Board of Revenue to take up the matter on suo motu side in cases which are pending or disposed of by the Revenue Officers subordinate to it. The instant case has already been adjudicated upon by the Board of Revenue and subsequent review petition are governed by the Board of Revenue Act to which the provisions of Limitation are not applicable. In the circumstances the review petition is dismissed hereby as not maintainable.
