| 2013 SLD 2131, 2013 CLD 1472 | Writ Petition No.5864 of 2013 , decided on 29.04.2013 | This case involves a writ petition filed by the Bank of Punjab against the unconditional leave granted to International Ceramics Ltd. by the Banking Court to defend a suit for recovery of a bank loan. The Lahore High Court, presided over by Justices Ayesha A. Malik and Abid Aziz Sheikh, ruled that the constitutional petition was not maintainable as there was no blatant illegality demonstrated in the Banking Court's order.

| 1959 SLD 400, 1959 PLD 347 | Criminal Appeal No. 9-D of 1958 , decided on 05.05.1959 | In the case of HARI BALLAV SHAHA ROY vs. GOPI BALLAV SHAHA AND GOVERNMENT OF EAST PAKISTAN, the Supreme Court of Pakistan dealt with the appeal regarding a commitment order made by a Magistrate under the Criminal Procedure Code. The case revolved around the critical evaluation of evidence in preliminary enquiries and the responsibilities of the Magistrate versus the Sessions Court. The court underscored that a Magistrate must determine only if there are sufficient grounds for trial without delving into the guilt of the accused.
