| Decision |
The Lahore High Court, in its ruling on Writ Petitions Nos. 1192 of 2004, 1409 of 2007, and 7212 of 2008, dismissed the applications challenging the issuance of domicile certificates. The court held that the petitioners had not established their residency claims in the Mauza Khumbi Tribal Area of District Rajanpur. The court noted that all relevant documents were already part of the record during the initial hearing and concluded that the previous order was neither obtained through fraud nor misrepresentation. The High Court emphasized that the review applications did not meet the legal requirements for a review as they sought a re-hearing rather than correcting errors. Consequently, the court declined to interfere with the earlier judgment, thus maintaining the integrity of the legal proceedings. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the refusal of domicile certificates to Miss Saima Bukhari and her brother Syed Hassan Raza Bukhari by the District Coordination Officer (DCO) of Rajanpur. The petitioners argued that they were entitled to the certificates under the Pakistan Citizenship Act, asserting their residency in the area. The Lahore High Court scrutinized the claim, focusing on the evidence presented and the procedural integrity of prior rulings. The court ultimately upheld the DCO's decision, reinforcing the importance of jurisdictional authority and the necessity for accurate representation of facts in legal petitions. This case underscores critical aspects of administrative law, citizenship rights, and the procedural intricacies of judicial reviews in Pakistan. Keywords include domicile certificate, Pakistan Citizenship Act, Lahore High Court, review applications, and residency claims. |
