COMMISSIONER, RAWALPINDI/ PROVINCE OF THE PUNJAB VS NASEER AHMED Ss. 4, 18 & 23---Constitution of Pakistan, Art. 199---Land acquisition---Compensation for land owners---Interference by High Court in its Constitutional jurisdiction---Scope---Interference on the matter of determination of fair compensation is not ordinarily warranted under the judicial review jurisdiction of the High Court under Article 199 of the Constitution and such matter is best decided by a civil court in its reference jurisdiction under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 after recording the respective evidence of the parties---However, where the acquisition authorities under the Act have misdirected themselves on a point of law, which does not require any factual determination, the High Court must intervene to correct the legal error and set the course of law right.
