Nos. 65, 68, 73, 74, 76, 78, 84 and 69 of 1994 Date of Judgment:1994-09-21 Reported As: 1996 SCMR 452 Result: Leave refused Judgment ORDER ' MUHAMMAD MUNIR KHAN, J.---These eight petitions for leave to appeal (No,921-L to 927/L and 929- L of 1994) are directed against the similar interlocutory orders dated 18-8-1994 passed by the learned Company Judge, Lahore High Court, Lahore, in Civil Original Petitions Nos.65, 68, 73, 74, 76, 78, 84 and 69 of 1994 respectively, which read as under:-- "(1) Notice for 25-8-1994. (2) In the meantime the respondents are hereby directed to furnished before this Court the full information as to the shares of the petitioners in the Company and in case they have been encumbered in any way, the nature of encumbrance and the precise location of the shares. (3) To come up on 25-8-1994." 2. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties, we propose to dismiss these petitions on the short ground of non-maintainability, so, it would be unnecessary and sheer waste of time to mention the facts of the case or discuss the arguments advanced by the learned counsel for the parties. 3. Plain reading of the impugned orders will show that the present petitioners have simply been asked to furnish some information, The orders have not, in any manner, adversely affected the interest/right of the present petitioners, so, no cause of grievance is available to them to invoke the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 185(3) of the Constitution. Furthermore, the impugned orders were not only interim order but were also subject to notice to the present petitioners. The petitioners can raise the objection, if any, against the requisition of information from them, before the High Court, which of course would be attended to and disposed of on merits.
