Displaced Persons (Land Settlement) Act (XLVII of 1958)--Ss. 10 & 11---Allotment of land to one of heirs of deceased claimant--­Order of allotment made on 16-5-1974 was not specifically challenged by other heir (petitioner) ---Allotment in favour of respondent (leaving out appellant) though seemed to be unfair but was not unwarranted in law for under the order of Deputy Settlement Commissioner heirs of deceased claimant were to be given his land in accordance with Shariat and allottee was in fact one of his heirs as well---Such question could have been settled only if petitioner had challenged the order in question---Appellant having not challenged order in question, it could not be assumed that respondent was not entitled to inherit deceased claimant.
