Province of Punjab and others Versus Shahzada Ashraf DurraniLand Transfer Agreement • December 20th, 2013
This case concerns a piece of land measuring 182 acres. It is pertinent to mention at the outset that this land is located in the “prohibited zone”. This land came to vest with the respondents in 1891 wherein the land was gifted to Shahzada Nadir for his lifetime and one generation of legitimate male heirs. This is the substantive part of the contract/agreement reached by and between the parties and once the lifetime of Shahzada Nadir’s first generation ended, the property was meant to revert back to the Province. A presumed intention resulting trust could be said to arise in this instance as the original agreement did not envisage the respondents taking title absolutely. The last bona fide lessee, Shahzada Mohammad Akber, died in India in the year 1956. This is the point in time that the Government of Punjab became re-vested with the rights and ownership of the land and the respondent family ceased to have any rights over the said property.
