Civil Review Petition No. 48-C of 2000 |

| Decision |
The review application was dismissed as the applicant's counsel raised several objections regarding the jurisdiction of the High Court, questioning the proceedings of a public company. However, it was determined that these objections were not previously raised in the lower courts and could not be revisited. The court upheld the de-exhibition of certain evidence, asserting that the case did not warrant the piercing of the corporate veil, as the decision was based on the evidence available on record. Thus, no grounds for review within the framework of the Civil Procedure Code were established. |
| Summary |
In the case of Civil Review Petition No. 48-C of 2000, the Lahore High Court addressed significant issues surrounding jurisdiction and evidence in corporate law. The applicant's counsel, Dr. A. Basit, argued that the High Court lacked jurisdiction due to the nature of the suit questioning a public company's proceedings. This argument was rejected as it was not previously raised. The court also reviewed objections regarding the de-exhibition of evidence and the need for piercing the corporate veil. Ultimately, the court found no merit in the review application, dismissing it in limine. This case emphasizes the importance of raising jurisdictional challenges at the appropriate stages of litigation and the stringent standards for reviewing prior judgments under the Civil Procedure Code. Keywords such as 'corporate law', 'jurisdictional challenges', 'evidence in corporate proceedings', and 'Lahore High Court' are essential for understanding the implications of this case. |
