Hafiz NOOR MUHAMMAD and others vs GHULAM RASOOL and others

This matter comes before the Supreme Court of Pakistan on a petition for leave to appeal concerning the classification of a disputed plot as residual property. The core legal question examined by the Court is whether the plot in question could legally be treated as residual property under the applicable settlement laws. The Court granted leave to appeal to consider this question, allowing the parties to file attested copies of the settlement record and a plan of the property, while directing that a status quo be maintained in the interim. The key principle relates to the proper identification and legal characterization of properties under the settlement scheme as either residual or otherwise.
