SAAD SAOOD JAN, ACJ.- The petitioners were owners of Khasras Nos. 1253, 1254, 1258, 4397/1259, 5808/1257, 1256/5806 and 1255 in the revenue estate of Bhikewal, Tehsil Lahore. The Lahore Development Authority, respondent, prepared a housing scheme known as 1600 Acres Scheme. For its implementation it acquired land falling in a number of revenue estates including Bhikewal. The only question for consideration in this petition is whether the land so acquired included the land of the petitioners as well. The petitioners filed a civil suit to seek an injunction restraining the respondent from interfering with their possession of the land. The suit was decreed by the Trial Court but on appeal it was dismissed by the District Judge, Lahore. The petitioners' revision petition before the High Court failed. They now seek leave to appeal from this Court.
2. In the relevant notification of acquisition the area acquired has been described by its outer boundaries. The petitioners have not been able to show that their land fell outside the boundaries indicated in the notification. On the other hand, they have not only received compensations for their land but also obtained a number of exemption plots. In the circumstances, it is difficult to support their contention that their land did not form part of the area acquired for the implementation of the Scheme. Leave is accordingly 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.
