Case Number Civil Review Petition No. 42 of 1968
Decision Date Oct 11, 1968
Hearing Date Oct 11, 1968
Decision The Supreme Court of Pakistan reviewed the judgment from Civil Appeal No. 110 of 1966. The petition for review was dismissed as the Court found no sufficient cause for review based on the arguments presented. It was determined that the findings of the original judgment were consistent and did not contain self-contradictory elements. The Court clarified that the term 'representative' was used in a broader sense and not strictly as in principal-agent relationships. The petitioners' claims regarding conflicting interests were deemed insufficient grounds for review, and the Court emphasized that the issues raised were not material to the decision. Thus, the petition for review was dismissed without any change to the original judgment.
Summary This case involves a civil review petition before the Supreme Court of Pakistan, focusing on the interpretation of conflicting interests and the legal definition of 'representative' in the context of the Constitution of Pakistan and Supreme Court Rules. The case highlights the stringent criteria for granting reviews and the Court's position on the binding nature of previous judgments. The ruling underscores the importance of clear legal arguments and the necessity for petitioners to provide compelling reasons for a review. Relevant legal principles, including those from the Constitution and Supreme Court Rules, were examined to assess the validity of the petitioner's claims.
