Case Number Review Application No. 05 of 2017 in W.P. No. 1468
Decision Date Apr 10, 2017
Hearing Date
Decision The Lahore High Court dismissed the Review Application due to the applicant's failure to demonstrate sufficient cause for delay in filing. The court emphasized that the scope of review is limited to errors apparent on the face of the record and that the incorrect conclusion reached after a thorough examination cannot suffice for a review. The applicant failed to point out any error in the impugned order, and the delay in filing the review petition was deemed not condonable, leading to the dismissal of the petition.
Summary In the case of Burhan ud Din Qureshi vs The Bank of Punjab and Others, the Lahore High Court addressed a Review Application concerning a previous decision made in W.P. No. 14685 of 2014. The court reiterated that the review process is strictly confined to errors that are apparent on the record. The applicant's inability to challenge an earlier order and the lack of sufficient justification for the delay in filing the review led to its dismissal. This case underscores the importance of timely and well-supported legal actions in the judicial process. Keywords such as 'Review Application', 'Lahore High Court', 'Civil Procedure Code', and 'Limitation Act' are pivotal in understanding the context and implications of this ruling.
