Civil Petition for Special Leave to Appeal No. 182 |
| Decision Date |
May 16, 1988 |
| Hearing Date |
May 16, 1988 |
| Decision |
The Supreme Court declined to interfere with the lower courts' decisions, which had dismissed the pre-emptor's time-barred appeal and Civil Revision for failing to deposit the pre-emption money in time. The explanation provided by the pre-emptor was not accepted as it was a question of fact, and thus, the petition for leave to appeal was dismissed. |
| Summary |
In this case, the petitioner, Muhammad Aslam, sought special leave to appeal after failing to deposit pre-emption money within the required timeframe. The trial court had initially granted him a decree, but due to the late deposit, he lost the case. His subsequent appeals were dismissed by the Lahore High Court and the Supreme Court of Pakistan upheld this decision. The case revolves around the Punjab Pre-emption Act, 1913, specifically Section 21, which outlines the requirements for pre-emption suits. The Supreme Court found no merit in the petitioner's explanation for the delay, affirming the lower courts' rulings. This case highlights the importance of adhering to procedural requirements in legal proceedings, particularly in pre-emption cases, where timing can critically affect the outcome. The decision underscores the judiciary's role in maintaining the integrity of legal processes. Keywords: Punjab Pre-emption Act, Supreme Court of Pakistan, legal procedures, pre-emption suits. |
