Judgment Mansoor Ahmad Mir, J. This Letters Patent Appeal is directed against the judgment and order, dated 9th January, 2009, passed by the Writ Court in CWP No. 992 of 2002, titled as Meer Baksh and another versus Union of India and others, whereby the notifications and mutations attested in favour of the Central Government declaring the property of the writ petitioners' predecessor-in-interest, Sultan Mohammad, as “evacuee property” were quashed and set aside and the writ petitioners were declared owners of land, the description/details of which are contained in Annexures P-2 and P-3 annexed with the writ petition (hereinafter referred to as “the impugned judgment”). 2. It is apt to record herein that the writ petitioners have also questioned the impugned judgment by the medium of LPA No. 86 of 2009, which has been dismissed as withdrawn vide separate order of the even date. 3. We have gone through the record. Admittedly, the predecessor-in-interest of the original writ petitioners had never migrated to Pakistan. We wonder how he can be said to be evacuee. How the property of the predecessor-in-interest of the writ petitioners came to be declared as “evacuee property” is not forthcoming, is an eye opener for the State. 4. Mr. V.S. Chauhan, learned Additional Advocate General, has frankly conceded that the predecessor-in-interest of the writ petitioners, namely Sultan Mohammad, was living in the State of Himachal Pradesh till the year 1983, when he died. 5. We have perused the impugned judgment, which is speaking one, well reasoned and legal one. The appellants-State (the writ respondents No. 2 and 3) have failed to make out a case for interference. 6. Viewed thus, the appeal is dismissed alongwith all pending applications.
