Jagir Grants -Could not automatic
all
y end on creation of Pakistan. Held, that the contention that Jagir grants automatic
all
y
came to an end in 1947 on the creation of the new state of Pakistan and
that the late Government of Sind as a new ruling power was competent to
cancel or modify, in any way it pleased, the existing Jagir terms might
have been advanced on behalf of a foreign conquering power on the plea
that it was an act of State. Pakistan is neither a foreign power nor a
conquered territory but was created under the
india
n Independence Act, 1947, and an order of resumption of grant by the Government of Sind could not be justified on this ground.This judgment is reproduced from a publicly available source for informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. If you believe this listing contains an error,
