| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the review petition filed by Daewoo Corporation, asserting that the scope of the review was limited and no substantial error was identified in the record. The court observed that all arguments presented during the appeal had been thoroughly examined and addressed in the original judgment dated March 30, 2001. Consequently, the petition was deemed meritless and was not entertained further. |
| Summary |
In the case of Daewoo Corporation versus Zila Council, Jhang, heard by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, the petitioner sought a review of the Civil Appeal No.254 of 1995, challenging the previous decision dated March 30, 2001. The Supreme Court, presided over by Chief Justice Nazim Hussain Siddiqui, along with Justices Javed Iqbal and Abdul Hameed Dogar, meticulously examined the grounds for review under Article 188 of the Constitution of Pakistan (1973) and the Supreme Court Rules of 1980, specifically Order XXVI. The petitioner, represented by Advocates Aftab Ahmad Khan and M.A. Qureshi, argued for a rehearing based on alleged errors. However, the court concluded that the original judgment was comprehensive, addressing all points of contention without any evident errors on record. Citing precedents such as Master Tahilram v. Lilaram and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto v. State, the court emphasized the stringent criteria for review petitions, highlighting that without new evidence or self-evident errors, such petitions are untenable. Senior Advocate Shahid Hamid represented the respondents, reinforcing the validity of the original decision. Ultimately, the Supreme Court dismissed the review petition, affirming the integrity of the initial judgment and underscoring the limited scope for appellate reconsiderations. This decision reinforces the principles of judicial finality and the high threshold required for overturning established court rulings in Pakistan's legal system. |
