( 1 ) THIS is a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution, to quash the order of the Board of Revenue, D/- 6-1-61 reviewing its earlier order D/- 18-4-60.

( 2 ) THE proceedings giving rise to this petition were initiated by the second respondent in the shape of an appeal against the Order of the Jagir Administrator. The question that was agitated before the Board of Revenue was whether the hissedars were entitled to their sharai share only from the date of the decision of the Atiyat Appeals Committee or from the date of the Abolition of the Jagirs. It was held by the Jagir Administrator that between the two dates the hissedars were entitled only to guzaras of maintenance, i. e. , from the date of the abolition of the Jagirs to the date of the determination of the Atiyat Appeals Committee. On 18-4-1960 the Board of Revenue though that the sharai share of the hissedars in the commutation amount between the dates mentioned above was a debt to be determined by the Jagirdars Debt Settlement Board. The Tribunal thought that this conclusion, namely, that the sharai share of the commutation amount was a debt, was sustained by the judgment of this Court in Sartaj Baig
