| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the petition for leave to appeal against the judgment of the Lahore High Court. The High Court had dismissed the revision petition as time-barred, finding intentional delay on the part of the petitioners in seeking relief. The Court noted that the petitioners did not provide sufficient reasons for the delay in filing their petition. The decision of the High Court was upheld as being entirely in accordance with the law, thus no interference was warranted from the Supreme Court. The petitioners failed to substantiate their claims, and the application for condonation of delay was dismissed. |
| Summary |
In this significant case, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed the issue of delay in filing a revision petition under the Civil Procedure Code. The petitioners, HAJI AHMED and others, sought leave to appeal against the Lahore High Court's dismissal of their revision petition on the grounds of limitation. The Supreme Court, led by judges SEED DEEDAR HUSSAIN SHAH and SARDAR MUHAMMAD RAZA KHAN, examined the arguments presented by the petitioners' counsel, Rana Maqbool Ahmed Khan. The Court found that the petitioners intentionally delayed their approach to the High Court and failed to provide adequate justification for the delay. The High Court's ruling was affirmed as it was consistent with the established legal principles. This case underscores the importance of adhering to procedural timelines in civil litigation, reinforcing the necessity for litigants to act promptly and diligently when seeking judicial relief.
