Chaudhri Shahab-ud-Din, Pleader and Municipal Commissioner, Lahore, has raised a point of considerable public interest and legal importance, with regard to its “lay-out schemes”. The practice to whose legality Chaudhri Shahab-ud-Din has taken strong exception has been for the Committee to prepare a so-called scheme of lay-out schemes. The practice to whose legality Chaudhri Shahaba-ud-Din has taken strong exception has been for the committee to prepare a so-called scheme of lay-out for open areas, showing the number and width of roads, irrespective of the ownership of the land, and secure the sanction of the Commissioner to the same, and, thereafter, as plans are submitted by owners of the sites included therein to erect buildings, to refuse sanction unless and until these are made to conform to the requirements of the scheme.
