Memo Of Parties vs Land & Development Officer on 23 December, 2015
8. His testimony does not prove anything to show that he is entitled to
recover any amount from the defendants. To start with, there is no evidence, or
for that matter any plea, that the plaintiff ever applied for any compensation to
defendant no. 1. There is no denying the fact that the defendant no. 1 acquired
certain portion of the property belonging to the father of the plaintiff and he,
being one of the legal heirs after the demise of his father, must be
recompensed by defendant no. 1 for loss suffered. He is certainly entitled to
get his share of the compensation from the defendant no. 1. But it seems that
the plaintiff desires to secure the compensation without asking for it from the
concerned authority, i.e. defendant no. 1 and without fulfilling the legal
Suit no. 366/14 K.N. Dawar Vs. Land and Development office 6/12
requirements for award of compensation. Indeed, there is no cause of action in
favour of the plaintiff and against the defendant no. 1 in that he has never
applied for compensation and defendant no. 1 has never denied his right to
receive the same. The plaintiff would have done well to first approach
defendant no. 1 before coming to the court.
