| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the special leave to appeal filed by Muhammad Alam against the Lahore High Court's order dated 1-12-1981. The case involved a belated review application that was filed approximately seven years after the original order dated 7-11-1974. The High Court had found against the petitioner both on the grounds of delay and on the merits of the case, which the Supreme Court upheld. The court's refusal of leave to appeal indicates that the arguments presented by the petitioner were insufficient to warrant a reconsideration of the High Court's decision. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around a special leave to appeal concerning a review application that was filed much later than the original ruling. The Supreme Court of Pakistan upheld the decision of the Lahore High Court, which had already determined that the review application was belated and lacked merit. The ruling emphasizes the importance of timeliness in legal proceedings, particularly in the context of civil procedure. The outcome underscores the court's position on maintaining procedural integrity, as well as the need for parties to act promptly in seeking legal remedies. The citation of both the Civil Procedure Code and the Constitution of Pakistan highlights the legal frameworks governing such cases. This case serves as a critical example for future litigants regarding the significance of adhering to procedural timelines in the pursuit of justice. |
