Decision Date Apr 09, 2009
Hearing Date Nov 17, 2008
Decision The court dismissed the application filed by the judgment-debtor seeking further details regarding the execution of a foreign decree. The application was deemed as a delay tactic, as the judgment-debtor failed to raise relevant pleas in previous objections. The court emphasized the importance of concise pleadings and the necessity for parties to comply with the rules of the Civil Procedure Code. The execution of the foreign judgment was upheld, highlighting the court's commitment to enforcing valid foreign decrees while ensuring that the rights of the parties are protected under Pakistani law.
Summary This case revolves around the execution of a foreign decree issued by the High Court of Justice Queen's Bench Division against Mrs. Shahida Jam Sadiq Ali, who defaulted on a loan from the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, S.A. The court focused on the procedural aspects of the Civil Procedure Code, particularly the requirements for pleadings and the execution of foreign judgments. The court ruled that the judgment-debtor's application for further particulars was an attempt to delay the execution process, as the necessary objections had not been raised in a timely manner. The ruling reinforces the significance of adhering to procedural rules and the enforceability of foreign decrees in Pakistan, ensuring that valid judgments are executed efficiently while also protecting the rights of the parties involved. This case is pivotal for understanding the intersection of local and international law, particularly in the context of debt recovery and execution of foreign judgments.
