| Decision |
The applications for restoration of the petition were dismissed due to the petitioner's lack of vigilance and carelessness. The court found no valid grounds to condone the delay in filing the application for restoration, as the petitioner failed to provide a plausible reason for the long delay in pursuing the matter. The learned counsel for the respondents opposed the applications, arguing that the petitioner received notice of the dismissal and did not act promptly. Therefore, the court concluded that the applications lacked merit and were dismissed. |
| Summary |
In the case before the Lahore High Court, the petitioner, Shahbaz Ali, sought the restoration of a constitutional petition that had been dismissed for non-prosecution. The dismissal occurred on February 10, 2009, and the petitioner claimed ignorance of this dismissal until informed by the executing court. The court examined the petitioner's claims but found them lacking in credibility, particularly due to the absence of specific dates regarding knowledge of the dismissal and the departure of the petitioner's counsel for higher education abroad. The court emphasized the importance of diligence in legal proceedings and noted that the petitioner had not been vigilant in pursuing the matter, which demonstrated indolence and carelessness. The judge ruled that no valid grounds were presented to justify the delay in filing for restoration, leading to the dismissal of the applications. This case underscores the necessity for petitioners to remain proactive and informed about their legal proceedings, as delays without sufficient justification can result in the dismissal of their applications. |
