Muhammad Tahir Hayat VS Federation of Pakistan Ss.8 & 10---Cancellation of allotment in reference proceedings declaring the land to be evacuee property---Non-impleadment of petitioners in the proceedings---Effect---Non-fulfillment of requirements as envisaged in S.10(1) of the Evacuee Trust Properties (Management and Disposal) Act, 1975---Effect---Absence of procedural compliance and non-determination as to bona fides qua allotment---Effect---Revision filed by the petitioners was dismissed being barred by time having knowledge on account of issuance of notices---Contention of the petitioners was that they had been condemned unheard---Validity---Respondent-Board admitted that petitioners were not made party to the reference filed before the Chairman of the Board, therefore, attributing knowledge to the petitioners through issuance of notices was beyond comprehension and this fact alone militated against the findings recorded by respondent in the order that the revision filed by the petitioners was barred by limitation---No determination was made in the orders that the allotment of land in favour of original allottee was lacking in bona fide and the process requirements for holding of the inquiry by the Chairman of the Board as envisaged in S.10(1) of the Act were also not met with---Constitutional petitions were allowed and orders were set aside with the direction that the matter shall be deemed to be pending before the Chairman of the Board, who shall decide the same afresh in accordance with law after hearing both the parties.
