Pakistan (Administration of Evacuee Property) Ordinance (XV of 1949),S. 12---Suit for injunction restraining defendant working a brick kiln on evacuee land from discharging soot on to plaintiff's biscuit and ice factory-Not barred. The defendant was working a brick kiln on evacuee land.

It seems that not only a large number of workmen work at the factory but the manager and other officials also reside on the premises. The defendant denied all the allegations with respect to the brick kiln…
