Recommendations of the District Remount Officer could not be demonstrated to be either arbitrary, fanciful or capricious.

15. The recommendations of the District Remount Officer should be given due weightage by the concerned authority while granting the tenancy. In this regard, the Hon'ble Supreme Court of Pakistan in a case cited as Raja Muhammad Aslam v. Raja Muhammad Sarwar and others (2000 SCMR 531) held as under: 

“6….. The learned High Court observed that the choice of the Collector passed on the recommendations of the District Remount Officer could not be demonstrated to be either arbitrary, fanciful or capricious. Subedar Muhammad Asghar v. Mst. Safia Begum and another (PLD 1976 SC 435) may be cited wherein it was observed that the recommendations of the District Remount Officer were entitled to due weight and interference with the orders of the Collector and Board of Revenue in such matter in the exercise of Constitutional jurisdiction of the High Court was disapproved.”
