Oct 24, 1988 |
| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the review petition filed by the petitioner, SAEED AHMAD, on the grounds that the petitioner failed to present any new arguments or evidence that would warrant a reconsideration of the previous judgment dated 17-4-1988. The court found that the findings regarding the delay in filing the Constitutional Petition were substantiated and that the petitioner had not provided sufficient justification for the actions taken after 2-12-1971. Consequently, the court ruled that the petition was devoid of merit and not maintainable. |
