Decision Date Jan 09, 2007
Hearing Date
Decision The application for the transfer of the suit has been accepted. The controversies in the suits filed by the respondents were found to be common, and it was deemed beneficial for both parties to have all suits heard in one court. The applicant, Mst. Firdaus Bibi Hashmi, expressed difficulty in traveling to Kehror Pacca due to her gender, as pursuing the suits in a different district would pose challenges. The court recognized the relevance of the Collector in the matter of mutation cancellations, thus granting the transfer to ensure all related suits are consolidated for a singular hearing.
Summary In the case involving Mst. Firdaus Bibi Hashmi and multiple respondents, the Lahore High Court addressed an application for the transfer of a suit. The core issue revolved around the transfer of suits filed in various Civil Courts, which shared a common nature of controversy. The court highlighted the logistical difficulties faced by the petitioner in attending court in Kehror Pacca, District Lodhran. The decision emphasized the importance of judicial efficiency and fairness, leading to the conclusion that consolidating the cases in one court would be advantageous. This ruling reflects a commitment to accessible justice for all parties involved, especially considering the implications of gender on travel and access to legal proceedings. The ruling underscores key aspects of the Civil Procedure Code, particularly Section 24, which governs the transfer of suits, ensuring that legal proceedings are conducted in a manner that serves the interests of justice and convenience.
