Case Number Civil Review Petition No. 15 of 1983
Decision Date Feb 15, 1984
Hearing Date
Decision The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the petition for review regarding the earlier decision on the Civil Petition for Special Leave to Appeal. The court found that the contention raised was substantially similar to that made during the previous appeal, which had already been rejected. The case involved the division of an evacuee house and the legal complexities surrounding the Letters Patent Appeal that had abated due to a failure to implead the legal representatives of the deceased party. The court concluded that there were no valid grounds for review, and the previous order was upheld.
