Petitioner: NAJIBULLAH VS Respondent: Mst. KHURSHID BEGUM
Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Nasim Hasan Shah, Aslam Riaz Hussain, M. S. H. Qureshi, Abdul Qadir Sheikh Title: NAJIBULLAH vs Mst. KHURSHID BEGUM Case No.: Civil Petition for Special Leave to Appeal No. K-357 of 1984 Date of Judgment:1985-09-26 Reported As: 1985 SCMR 571 Result: Order accordingly
Judgment ORDER ASLAM RIAZ HUSSAIN, J.--Learned Advocate-on-Record for the petitioner files an application for adjournment on the ground that Mr. Shafqat Hussain learned counsel for the petitioner is unable to attend due to illness. Since ad interim order has been passed by this Court, which is to the prejudice of the respondent, we called upon the learned Advocate-on-Record to argue the petition himself but he is unable to do so. We see no valid justification for the inability of the learned Advocate-on-Record to argue the case in the absence of the learned counsel for the petitioner. In the circumstances, that today is the last date of the present session of this Court and adjournment of the case would really mean' postponement for nearly one month till the next session, we would not like to continue the interim order dated 16-7-1984, any further but in the interest of justice adjourn the hearing to a date' in office. Interim order dated 16-7-1984 is vacated and the respondent will be informed accordingly.
