Judgment text as reported

POPULAR SUGAR MILLS LIMITED VS DISTRICT COLLECTOR, SARGODHA Ss.39 & 40(1)---Companies Act (XIX of 2017), S.13(3)---Punjab Land Revenue Act (XVII of 1967), S.42---Record of Rights---Change of name of 'person'---Effect---Petitioner company was aggrieved of order passed by revenue authorities refusing to incorporate change of its name and had treated the same as sale in favour of petitioner---Validity---Provision of S. 42 of Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1967 reflects that the same is applicable on acquiring of any right as land owner or a tenant---Words "a person" in S. 42 of Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1967 further clarifies that the Legislature has envisaged acquisition of any right or interest as land-owner or a tenant from one person to another---Dispute had arisen when request was made to revenue authorities to incorporate the change in name of the company from "National Sugar Industries Limited" to "Popular Sugar Mills Limited", which change had already been permitted by Registrar of the Companies, under Ss. 39 & 40 of Companies Ordinance, 1984---Mere change of name did not change legal status of petitioner company or its distinct personality and such change entailed no difference to rights or obligations---High Court set aside order passed by revenue authorities as application or request to incorporate change of name was not a sale---Constitutional petition was allowed accordingly.
