Judgment text as reported

Syed ALI HUSSAIN VS SENIOR MEMBER/MEMBER (REVENUE) BOARD OF REVENUE PUNJAB, LAHORE R.14---acquired land---Restoration to original land owners---Non-utilization of land---Land was acquired from respondents/landowners with the promise to set up Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) but that had not materialized for over three decades---Effect---Water and Sanitary agency's (WaSa) inaction over such years had represented a serious failure in upholding its commitment to both public welfare and private rights---If there was no success reported in September 2025, the question would be open before Supreme Court as to whether land acquired three decades ago for a public purpose, which had not been fulfilled, could result in the land being restored to its original owners as per Rule 14 of Punjab Land acquisition Rules, 1983---Supreme Court considering the importance of WWTP and its bearing on fundamental rights of the people, expected from WaSa to reconsider its financial and technological options while pursuing its negotiations with French Development agency (aFD)---Supreme Court extended time to the authorities to conclude the matter latest by end of august 2025---Supreme Court directed ECNEC to submit its final report to the Court before the next date of hearing---Supreme Court directed the office to fix the case in last week of September 2025 to assess whether the relevant authorities had successfully concluded the matter after exploring all possible financial and technological alternatives---Petition was adjourned.
