| Decision |
The Lahore High Court ruled on the matter concerning the restoration of a criminal appeal filed by the petitioner, Tahira Naseem, against the acquittal of the accused in FIR No. 513 dated 09.09.2008. The Court found that the Deputy Registrar's failure to specify a timeline for addressing deficiencies in the appeal memorandum did not justify its dismissal. The Court emphasized the importance of access to justice and the need for the Administrative Judge to consider the nature of objections raised. The decision ultimately allowed the restoration of the appeal, reinforcing the procedural rights of the petitioner. |
