Petitioner: IBRAHIM And Others VS Respondent: ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER/ COLLECTOR, VEHARI And Other
Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Aslam Riaz Hussain, M. S. H. Qureshi Title:IBRAHIM And Others vs ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER/ COLLECTOR, VEHARI And
Other Case No.:Civil Petition for Special Leave to Appeal Nos.1078 and 1080 of 1984 C.P. No. 1080 of 1984 Date of Judgment:1985-06-04 Reported As: 1985 SCMR 1774 Result: Petitions dismissed Judgment ORDER ASLAM RIAZ HUSSAIN, J.--This order will dispose of (i) C.P.S. L.A. No. 1078/84 filed by Ibrahim etc.; and (ii) C.P.S.L.A. No. 1080/84, filed by Muhammad Ayub etc., as they involve the same question and against the same order of the High Court, dated 22-5-1982 dismissing their writ petitions in settlement matters. 2. The aforementioned judgments were challenged by petitioners in both the petitions through I . C . As. , which were dismissed on the ground that I.C.As. Did not lie in view of the provisions of section 3(2) of the Law Reforms Ordinance of 1972. 3. In their petitions the petitioners have only challenged the dismissal of their writ petitions by the High Court, but before us the learned counsel attempted to show that I.C.As., in fact, lay in the case in hand. But on examining the matter we find ourselves in respectful agreement with the view taken by the High Court namely that the I.C.As. Did not lie in these cases. 4. As for the impugned orders of the High Court dismissing petitioners' writ petitions the same are barred by as many as 843 days. We find that the petitioners had pursued the wrong remedy in the wrong forum and no sufficient ground has been shown for condonation of the delay. Both the petitions are, therefore, dismissed.
