Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Muhammad Afzal Zullah, Abdul Qadeer Chaudhry Title: AL QASIM TRADERS vs HABIB BANK LIMITED, MULTAN Case No.: Civil Petition for Leave to Appeal No.528-R of 1989 Date of Judgment:1991-03-26 Reported As: 1991 SCMR 1147 Result: Leave refused
Judgment ORDER MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, C.J.---This petition for leave to appeal is directed; against an interim order by the High Court acting as original trial Court for adjudication of a dispute regarding recovery of money. By the impugned order the High Court has dismissed the application of the petitioner for examination of certain witnesses on commission. Learned counsel stated that the witnesses are from Karachi and Lahore. He admits that the distance of both the places from the seat of the Court where trial is taking place is hardly about 2 hours and one hour air journey, respectively. In the circumstances of the case the discretionary order passed by the High Court refusing the facility of examination of witnesses on commission to the petitioner is neither against any law nor principle. Leave to appeal, accordingly, is refused.
