Petitioner: MUNICIPAL COMMITTEE And 3 Others VS Respondent: MUHAMMAD RAMZAN
Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Muhammad Afzal Zullah, Dr. Javed Iqbal Title: MUNICIPAL COMMITTEE And 3 Others vs MUHAMMAD RAMZAN Case No.: Civil Petition for Leave to Appeal No.845 of 1986 Revision No.1506-D of 1986 Date of Judgment:1991-08-26 Reported As: 1991 SCMR 1643 Result: Leave granted
Judgment ORDER MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.---Leave to appeal has been sought by the defendant's side in a suit for recovery of damages; against the dismissal by the High Court, of their Civil Revision. The respondent's suit was based, as stated by the learned counsel, on the assertion that the petitioners having exempted him from the tax which has been described as Chhajja Tax, was subsequently made to pay the same. This as asserted from the respondent's side resulted in humiliation and insult to the said respondent. The suit was dismissed by the trial Court on the finding that the demand of tax did not amount to humiliation. However, the respondent's appeal was allowed and the petitioners' Civil Revision having been dismissed on similar grounds, as asserted by the respondent, leave to appeal has now been sought. After hearing the learned counsel we consider it a fit case to further examine the aforestated controversy as also to consider the points raised in this petition, leave to appeal is granted. The appeal shall be prepared on the present record with direction to the parties to file all essential documents which would be necessary for disposal of appeal.
