Decision Date Nov 23, 1993
Hearing Date
Decision This case involved a petition seeking leave to appeal against an interlocutory order where the petitioner was issued a notice to show cause for violating an order of status quo from the High Court. The Supreme Court found that no final order had been passed and that the matter was still pending in the High Court. Therefore, they concluded that no good ground was made out for interference at this preliminary stage of the proceedings. As a result, the leave to appeal was dismissed.
Summary The case revolves around a civil petition filed for leave to appeal against an interlocutory order issued by the High Court. The petitioner, Haroon Mirza, was called to show cause for allegedly violating the status quo order issued by the High Court. The Supreme Court of Pakistan, led by Chief Justice Nasim Hasan Shah and two other judges, reviewed the case and determined that since no final order was present and the matter remained pending in the High Court, there was no substantial ground to interfere at this stage. Thus, the leave to appeal was dismissed. This case emphasizes the importance of finality in judicial decisions and the Supreme Court's reluctance to intervene in ongoing proceedings without compelling reasons.
