Admittedly, a revision application came to be filed on August 16, 1975, that is, practically after 14 years under Section 27 of the Administration of the Evacuee Properties Act, 1950 for short, the Act.
When the petitioner had called that order in question in the writ petition, the High Court held that the Additional Custodian General had properly exercised the revisional jurisdiction and it declined to interfere with the order due to the inordinate delay in filing the revision.
This Special Leave Petition arises against the judgment and order of the High Court of Allahabad made on January 28, 1991 in C.W.P. No.4770 of 1976.
The Additional Custodian General had declined to interfere with the order.
His property was vested in the Custodian under P. Custodian of Evacuee Properties Act.
It was found that the order was accordingly companymunicated to all the major shareholders.
Thus this special leave petition.
Thereafter the Central Act had taken over the operation of the evacuee properties.
Delay companydoned.
The records disclose that the Assistant Custodian, Farrukhabad at Kanpur had passed an order dated June 22, 1961 in which it was held that the interest of Ashfaq Hussain had been shown as evacuee interest and it was directed that the order be companymunicated to all the major shareholders for information.
The admitted position is that one Ashfaq Hussain was an evacuee having migrated to Pakistan.
