Evacuee land could only be disposed off through open auction in terms of the Scheme, 1977 and otherwise,

Reliance is also placed on the case titled as American International School System Vs. Mian Muhammad Ramzan & Others (2015 SCMR 1449). For ready reference, relevant portion of American International School System case (supra) is reproduced as under:- 

“In the instant cases, as record shows that on mere desire of the then Chief Minister of Punjab, the Member (Colonies) BOR, Punjab doled out valuable “residual evacuee property” at a throw away price to the petitioner-School, knowing fully well that the subject property is not the State land and that the subject evacuee land could only be disposed off through open auction in terms of the Scheme, 1977 and otherwise, he was not at all competent to undertake such exercise, which authority under the Scheme, 1977 vested in the Member, Board of Revenue (Residual Properties).”
