Petitioner: HAQUE NAWAZ VS Respondent: SULTAN and others
Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Muhammad Afzal Zullah, Saad Saood Jan Title: HAQUE NAWAZ vs SULTAN and others Case No.: Civil Petition No,867 of 1981 Date of Judgment:1988-05-24 Reported As: 1989 SCMR 1201(1) Result: Petition dismissed
Judgment ORDER ' MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.--A vendee in a pre-emption matter has sought leave to appeal against the dismissal of his writ petition. Questions of fact including that of collusion have been raised in the petition. The suit was decreed against the petitioner on the basis of statement made by his counsel. It was a consent decree. It has been challenged in the petition for leave to appeal mainly on the ground that the counsel of the petitioner when conveying the consent misconducted and made a false statement. If that is so, the petitioner might have a remedy against the counsel but in so far as the present petition is concerned, the High Court acted rightly in declining to interfere in its writ jurisdiction. For this reason and also that none has appeared to prosecute this petition, it is liable to be dismissed. We order accordingly.
