AHMAD Versus KARAM HUSSAIN

ORDER

1. ASLAM RIAZ HUSSAIN, J.‑‑ The petitioners seek leave to appeal against the order of a learned Single Judge of the High Court, dated 8‑4‑1979, dismissing their R.S.A.

2. We have read the impugned order of the High Court and heard the learned counsel for the petitioners.

2. We find that the Civil suit out of which the R.S.A. has arisen was directed against the proceedings of the revenue authorities in a consolidation matter. The prayer by the petitioners before the Civil Court was that they should be declared as owners of particular Khasra numbers which had been given by the consolidation authorities to another person.

3. After hearing the learned counsel we feel that the petitioners have no cause for grievance. Such action is not only within the competence of the authorities dealing with consolidation matters but is, in fact, their duty to constitute compact blocks of scattered pieces of land belonging to different persons with a view to curtail fragmentation of land and to consolidate the holdings. The learned Civil Judge rightly held that he had no jurisdiction to interfere with a decision of this nature taken by the consolidation authorities. We are, therefore, not) inclined to grant leave in this case. The petition is consequently dismissed as having no force.

4. M . Y . H . Petition dismissed.
