INAYAT ULLAH vs THE CUSTODIAN,EVACUEE PROPERTY

The Supreme Court held that under Section 7 of the Administration of Evacuee Property Act, 1950, it is the responsibility of the Custodian to form an opinion based on the information available to him, and courts cannot assess the adequacy of such information prior to the issuance of a notice. The Court affirmed that the rejection of the appellant's application for copies of materials was lawful, as parties are entitled to such copies only after the notice is issued and not before. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the High Court's decision.
