Decision Date Feb 08, 1992
Hearing Date Feb 08, 1992
Decision The Lahore High Court dismissed the civil revision filed by Mian Muhammad Altaf, who challenged the cancellation of his license to sell certain drugs. The court upheld the decisions of the lower courts, which found that the petitioner had no prima facie case for a temporary injunction. The court emphasized that granting such an injunction would effectively provide the petitioner with the relief he sought before the trial, which was not appropriate given the circumstances. The unanimous verdict of the two lower courts was deemed appropriate, and no material irregularity was identified.
Summary In the case of Civil Revision No.169 of 1992, the Lahore High Court addressed the petition filed by Mian Muhammad Altaf regarding the cancellation of his drug sale license. The case revolved around the interpretation of the Civil Procedure Code (V of 1908) and the legal standards for granting temporary injunctions. The High Court held that the lower courts correctly found that the petitioner lacked a prima facie case for such relief. The court noted that granting the injunction would allow the petitioner to operate under a canceled license, potentially causing harm to public health. The decision underscored the discretionary power of courts in such matters and the necessity for a sound legal basis before issuing temporary relief.
