Section:

(a) Evacuee Trust Properties (Management and Disposal) Act (XIII of 1975)--S.10(1)(b)---Displaced Persons (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Act (XXVIII of 1958), S.10---Constitution of Pakistan (1973), Art.185(3)---Leave to appeal was granted to examine as to whether a P.T.O. holder to whom no P.T.D. was issued prior to June 1968 could claim statutory validation of the transfer under S.10(1)(b) of the Evacuee Trust Properties (Management and Disposal) Act, 1975 and whether the transfer of evacuee trust property under the Displaced Persons (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Act, 1958 could be treated as valid under S.10 notwithstanding the fad that it was otherwise void on account of the character of the property being evacuee trust property.
