| Decision |
The petitioners sought leave to appeal against the Lahore High Court's judgment, which dismissed their appeal in a murder case. After hearing the arguments presented by the learned counsel for the petitioners, the court found that the contentions raised merely requested a reappraisal of evidence to arrive at a different conclusion on a factual question. The Supreme Court determined that this case was not suitable for such a reappraisal of evidence and subsequently dismissed the petition. |
| Summary |
In the case of Criminal Petition for Special Leave to Appeal No. 33-R of 1985, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed the petitioners' request for leave to appeal against the Lahore High Court's decision in a murder case. The court highlighted that the arguments presented were primarily aimed at reexamining evidence rather than addressing legal questions. The ruling emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of factual determinations made by lower courts. This case underscores the Supreme Court's role in limiting appeals that merely seek to challenge factual conclusions without substantial legal grounds. Keywords such as 'Supreme Court', 'leave to appeal', 'murder case', and 'Judgment of Lahore High Court' illustrate the significant principles at stake. The decision serves as a precedent for similar future cases, reinforcing the judiciary's stance on evidence reappraisal requests. The dismissal of the petition reinforces the court's authority and the necessity for substantial legal argumentation in appeals. |
