| Decision Date |
May 09, 1979 |
| Hearing Date |
|
| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the petition for special leave to appeal, stating that the petitioner had not been served notice regarding the hearing dates and that the issues raised were questions of fact that could not be resolved without a record. The court noted that the petitioner had previously failed to appear for hearings and had not adequately addressed the service of notice by his advocate. The dismissal of the petition was upheld based on the findings that the petitioner’s claims were without merit and that he had not been diligent in pursuing his case. |
| Summary |
In the case of Muhammad Siddiq vs. Abdul Shakoor, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed the complexities surrounding the petitioner’s claim regarding the title to a shop located on Plot No. 2 in Malir, Karachi. The petition arose from a series of legal battles that began fifteen years prior, involving eviction proceedings initiated by the respondent against the petitioner. The Court reviewed the procedural history, emphasizing that the petitioner failed to appear for critical hearings and did not raise significant arguments at the appropriate times. The decision highlighted the importance of proper legal representation and the consequences of neglecting court notices. The ruling serves as a reminder of the procedural rigor required in legal proceedings and the potential ramifications of failing to adhere to court protocols, especially in matters concerning property rights and eviction. |
