LAHORE, July 25: Justice Maulvi Anwar-ul-Haq of the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday summoned for August 1 Board of Revenue member Nazeer Saeed for setting aside an order of the Supreme Court.

Lawyer Sarfraz Cheema said the judge summoned the official after finding out that he wrote in a letter that he had set aside an order of the Supreme Court in which the court dismissed a former Revenue Board member’s plea for cancellation of a land allotment. Cheema said his clients, Khuda Bukhsh and others, owned a land in Ghazi Kaka, Ferozwala tehsil, which was cancelled and allotted to army officers, including General Ghulam Jilani and General Akhter Abdur Rehman.

He said his clients, about 16 families, moved the high court, which sent their case to settlement authorities and a border area committee for remedy. The lawyer said on Sept 9, 1995 his clients were given land in Lahore, Sheikhupura and Kasur against their land in Ferozwala tehsil.

He said the Revenue Board member moved the high court and later the Supreme Court against the allotment of land. He said that first the high court dismissed his appeal and later the Supreme Court.

He said when the Revenue Board member again filed a review petition in the Supreme Court, Justice Khalilur Rehman Ramday and Justice Falak Sher (now deposed) not only dismissed it but ordered him to pay costs to the respondents.

He said recently Nazeer Saeed wrote a letter to a Revenue Board official and told him that he had set aside the Supreme Court order and that the land allotment be cancelled.
