Malik INAYAT ULLAH vs MEMBERII, BOARD OF REVENUE, BALOCHISTAN and others

This matter comes before the Supreme Court of Pakistan as an appeal filed by Malik Inayat Ullah against the Member-II, Board of Revenue, Balochistan and others. The core legal question concerned the sustainability of the appellant's challenge against prior revenue and evacuee property orders, particularly in light of the dismissal of a connected writ petition by the High Court which upheld the orders of the Deputy Custodian, Evacuee Property and the Member Board of Revenue. Upon the matter being heard, the learned counsel for the appellant stated he no longer wished to press the appeal, recognizing that the High Court's dismissal of the earlier writ petition rendered the present proceedings unnecessary. Consequently, the Supreme Court held that the appeal should be dismissed as not pressed, leaving the parties to bear their own costs. The key principle established is that an appeal explicitly abandoned by the appellant's counsel in light of prior conclusive judicial determinations will be dismissed accordingly without adjudication on merits.
