Niaz Muhammad Siddiqi Advocate Supreme Court with Mehdi Khan Mehtab, Advocate‑on‑Record for Petitioner.

Khalil Ramdey, Addl. A.‑G. for Respondents Nos. 1 ‑and 2,

Date of hearing: 9th May. 1984.

.‑The petitioner seeks leave to appeal against the judgment of the High Court, dated 27‑11‑1983, dismissing his writ petition. The petitioner was a lessee of the State land on temporary basis for one year from April, 1978 to March, 1979. The lease was extended for another year but the land in question was subsequently allotted to respondent No. 3 under the Islamabad Oustees Scheme. The petitioner felt aggrieved because he claimed that he was entitled to the grant of proprietary rights, vide a notification issued in 1979. He, therefore, filed a writ petition against the allotment of land in dispute to respondent No. 3 but the same was dismissed.

2. We issued notice to the Additional Advocate‑General and heard him as well as the learned counsel for the petitioner at considerable length.

3. The petitioner's counsel has not been able to point out any flaw in the impugned judgment of the High Court while the learned Additional Advocate‑General was able to demonstrate that under the relevant law the petitioner had no right to transfer of the land in question. Leave is, therefore, refused.

S. Q. Leave refused.
