NIAMATULLAH KHAN VS FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN S. 3(1)---Cantonment Land Administration Rules, 1937, Chapt. V---Cantonment land---Purpose---Cantonments' lands, which were allotted or leased by the Federal Government or the Provincial Government were meant to be used as strategic lands for defence purposes and its activities---Nature of land and its title, apparently, could not be changed and given a private status---Conversion of cantonment land into private land, seemed contrary to the very mandate of the Cantonments Act, 1924 and the Land Administration Control Rules, 1937 and was also in violation of the Constitutional provisions---If any law or rule was made contrary to such mandate, the same would be ultra vires the Cantonments Act, 1924 and the Constitution.
