Petitioner: MARKET COMMITTEE, SHORKOT ROAD through Administrator, District Jhang VS Respondent: CANTONMENT BOARD SHORKOT CANTONMENT through Executive Officer and anothers
Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Irshad Hasan Khan, Muhammad Arif Title:MARKET COMMITTEE, SHORKOT ROAD through Administrator, District Jhang
vs CANTONMENT BOARD SHORKOT CANTONMENT through Executive Officer and anothers Case No.: Civil Petition for Leave to Appeal No,2-L of 2000 Date of Judgment:2000-07-27 Reported As: 2001 SCMR 639 Result: Petition dismissed Judgment ORDER ' The petition is barred, by 6 days. Delay is sought to be condoned on the ground that the Market Committee, Shorkot was not aware of the dismissal of Writ Petition No,1101 of 1982 and it came to their knowledge on 3-11-1999 when the uncertified copy of the judgment, dated 11-10-1999 was sent to the Market Committee and therefore, some time was consumed in processing the case. 2. We are afraid, the above plea hardly constitutes a valid ground for condonation of delay. It was the duty of the counsel of the Market Committee to have informed the petitioner about the dismissal of the Writ Petition and the opposite-party cannot be penalised for the negligent handling of the case by the petitioner or its counsel. 3. Resultantly, the petition is dismissed being time-barred.
