| Decision |
The civil revision was dismissed due to lack of proper authorization for representation by the Chairman of LESCO on behalf of WAPDA. The court found that WAPDA and LESCO are independent organizations and the Chairman of LESCO was not authorized to represent WAPDA in this matter. Furthermore, the power of attorney submitted was not signed by the necessary authorities, leading the court to conclude that the civil revision was incompetent and thus dismissed in limine. |
| Summary |
In the case C.R.No. 123270 of 2017 before the Lahore High Court, the primary issue revolved around the authority of the Chairman of LESCO to represent WAPDA in a civil revision. The court emphasized the independence of WAPDA and LESCO, noting the absence of any proper authorization for the Chairman of LESCO to file on behalf of WAPDA. The appeal, which challenged previous judgments regarding possession and interest, was dismissed due to procedural incompetence. This case highlights critical aspects of representation and authority in legal proceedings, particularly in matters involving distinct entities such as WAPDA and LESCO. Legal practitioners must ensure proper authorization in civil matters to avoid similar dismissals. The case also reinforces the significance of adhering to procedural requirements under the Civil Procedure Code, specifically Section 115, which governs appeals and revisions. |
