Law:
Section:
Pakistan (Administration of Evacuee Property) Act (XII of 1957)--- ----Ss. 18-A, 18-B & 43 [as adopted in Azad Jammu and Kashmir]---Azad Jammu and Kashmir Rehabilitation Act, 1974, S. 11---Revisional/review jurisdiction of Custodian after transfer of proprietary rights---Extent--Custodian is competent to go into the legality or illegality of an allotment of a person to whom "Proprietary Rights Transfer Order" (P.R.T.O.) has been issued---Custodian in addition to the power to cancel an allotment, has the power to satisfy himself about the genuineness of the claim of allottee before issuing "Proprietary Rights Transfer Order"---No embargo has been placed upon the powers of Custodian while exercising review powers in terms that he could cancel the allotment of an allottee only if the claim of the allottee had been processed in connection with the transfer of proprietary rights to him.
