Case Number C.M. No. 5192 of 2012 in Intra-court Appeal No. 12
Decision Date Sep 10, 2012
Hearing Date
Decision The review petition under section 561-A of the Criminal Procedure Code was dismissed. The High Court found no merit in the petitioner's claims regarding the alleged fraud and misrepresentation in the previous orders. It was established that the petitioner was represented by counsel during all relevant proceedings, and the claims made lacked sufficient grounds for review. The court reiterated that it has the inherent jurisdiction to review its orders, but the petitioner failed to demonstrate any legal error or ambiguity in the previous judgments.
Summary This case highlights the principles surrounding review petitions under the Civil and Criminal Procedure Codes in Pakistan. The Lahore High Court dealt with issues of fraud and misrepresentation in the context of earlier orders regarding FIRs and bail applications. The court emphasized the importance of transparency and diligence from counsel during proceedings, as well as the limitations on the maintainability of intra-court appeals against orders issued under constitutional jurisdiction. The decision serves as a precedent for similar cases involving review petitions and the standards required to challenge judicial decisions effectively.
