6. On merits too petitioner Iras no case. The perusal o| order dated 16.1.1991 passed by'M.B.R, shows that hi| revision petition was dismissed after considering materia available on record. The respondent (M.B.R.) observed that "Consolidation operations are a matter of give and take an<[ no material discrepancy appears to have occurred in thj allocation of wandas and hence no interference by this Cour would be justifiable". Even otherwise it is well-reasoned ordeij The case of petitioner is that suit land (5 kanals, 16 marlas) adjacent to his remaining land. Also that land given to him b Addl. Commissioner is at a distance of about 3 miles from hi original land, It shows that factual controversy is involved I this case which cannot be resolved by this Court in th exercise of its extra-ordinary writ jurisdiction, therefore th same is liable to dismissed.

7. The upshot of the above discussion is that this wr petition has no force and the same is accordingly dismissec No order as to costs.
