Case Number Review Application No. 64 of 2013
Decision Date Feb 07, 2017
Hearing Date
Decision The review application was dismissed as the applicant failed to demonstrate any new and important matter or evidence that warranted a review of the previous decision. The court emphasized that a review is only competent if there is a self-evident error that has a material bearing on the case. In this instance, the applicant's claims did not meet the required criteria for a review, and thus the impugned order dated 03.05.2013 was upheld.
Summary In the Lahore High Court case Review Application No. 64 of 2013, presided over by Justices Ayesha A. Malik and Jawad Hassan, the court addressed the standards for reviewing prior decisions under the Civil Procedure Code, specifically Section 114. The applicant, Qureshi Muhammad Aslam, sought to set aside an order that dismissed his application for restoration of a previously withdrawn writ petition. The court found that the applicant did not present any new evidence or demonstrate a significant error in the earlier ruling, leading to the dismissal of the review application. This case highlights the stringent requirements for a successful review, which necessitates clear evidence of error or new matter, ensuring that the integrity of judicial decisions is maintained. Legal professionals should note the importance of complying with procedural norms to avoid dismissal based on technical grounds. The decision underscores the necessity for parties to be present during critical proceedings, as their absence could jeopardize their case.
