Decision Date Apr 24, 2013
Hearing Date Apr 16, 2013
Decision The Sindh High Court ruled that the revision filed by Respondent No.1 against the dismissal of the suit was not maintainable. The court highlighted that the suit was dismissed for non-prosecution and emphasized that a decree follows even if a suit is dismissed, allowing for a first appeal under Section 96 of the Civil Procedure Code. The court noted that the respondent had failed to deposit the ordered costs, leading to the finality of the dismissal order. The court concluded that the impugned order by the Additional District Judge was coram non judice and thus could not stand.
