| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the criminal revision petition filed by the petitioner, Khurram Shehzad, challenging the dismissal of his complaint against the Standard Chartered Bank. The court found no material illegality in the order of the Judge, Special Courts (Offences in Banks), Lahore, which correctly held that the petitioner should seek remedy in the same court where his suit was pending. The court emphasized that the petitioner failed to initiate proceedings under Section 476 of the Criminal Procedure Code in the Banking Court, leading to the dismissal of his complaint. The High Court affirmed the lower court's decision, stating that there was no legal justification for interference. |
