Awan Foundation is an NGO that undertakes various types of not-for-profit projects for public welfare. On 14-01-1999, the Government of Punjab leased out 48 kanals of land in village Malikwal, Talagang, to the Petitioner for purposes of building aa school to provide free education to children from disadvantaged segments of the society. However, the Deputy Commissioner cancelled the lease deed after a couple of years. Awan Foundation successfully challenged the cancellation before the Civil Judge. Government’s appeal also failed.
The Government then brought a civil revision application before the Lahore High Court (Rawalpindi Bench). Ch. Imran Hassan Ali, ASC, represented the Awan Foundation before the High Court. After hearing both sides, Justice Mirza Viqas Rauf dismissed the Government’s revision application on 01-12-2025.
