The Supreme Court refused leave to appeal regarding the dismissal of the review application by the Lahore High Court. The review application was filed by the petitioners after more than three and a half months, claiming that their counsel was on general adjournment during the hearing of the civil revision. However, the High Court found that the counsel was present and had not substantiated the claim with an affidavit. The Supreme Court concluded that there was no legal infirmity in the High Court's decision, affirming that the petitioners were granted an opportunity to present their case. Consequently, the petition was dismissed. |
