(Defendant) 07-APR-20 Yes 1. Effect of disclaimer made under section 21 of the Trade Marks Ordinance, 2001 from exclusive use of a name. 2. The principle that registration of a trade mark gives rise to a prima facie case, balance of convenience and likelihood of irreparable loss, that principle would be applicable where the trade mark was registered without a disclaimer. 3. In view of section 42(3) of the Trade Marks Ordinance, 2001, the use of the disclaimed feature of the mark in question would not constitute trade mark infringement. 4. An action for passing-off is essentially to protect property in goods based on the reputation of those goods, as distinct from an action to protect a trade mark which is a property in itself.

11 2020 SHC KHI 160, 2020 CLC 1857 J.M 49/2018 (S.B.) Sindh High Court, Karachi Original Side 2018 Iftikhar Ahmed Qureshi (Applicant) VS Mr. Muhammad Abrar Ahmed Qureshi & others (Respondent) 02-MAR-20 Yes 1. Substituted service by way of publication is only presumed to be personal service by virtue of Rule 20(2) of Order V CPC. Such presumption is rebuttable. Therefore, where service by publication is challenged, the first test is to see whether the conditions of Order V Rule 20 CPC had been met, viz., that the publication was resorted to after the Court was satisfied that the defendant was avoiding service, or there was some other reason to believe that summons could not be served in the ordinary manner; in other words, whether the ordinary modes of service available had been exhausted. Rel: Muhammad Anwar v. Abdul Haq (1985 SCMR 1228); Haji Akbar v. Gul Baran (1996 SCMR 1703); and Nargis Latif v. Feroz Afaq Ahmed Khan (2001 SCMR 99). 2. While a couriers receipt was filed to show that summons had been dispatched, there was no report of delivery by the courier to show that summons so dispatched were delivered or tendered within the meaning of Order V Rule 10 CPC. So far there is no statute that attaches a presumption of service to summons sent by a private courier service (as opposed to a public courier service). Rel: Inayatullah v. Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah (2014 SCMR 1477). Thus, it can be safely said that prior to publication neither the available modes of service were exhausted nor was there a verification that the modes of service so used had failed. In any case, the publication made was at best publication of the notice of the pending CMAs and there was no publication made of the summons of the suit. 3. Had it not been a case attracting section 12(2) CPC, the exparte judgment and decree could nonetheless be set-aside under Order IX Rule 13 CPC. Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan Iqbal Chaudhry(Author)

Sindh High Court, Karachi Civil Appellate Jurisdictions 2016 National Refinery Ltd. & another (Appellant) VS Syed Niaz Ahmed (Respondent) 07-NOV-19 Yes The terms of the service were ensured at the time of his (respondent's) transfer, which cannot be lifted unilaterally depriving an employee of his post-retirement benefits or any of the terms of transfer, to which he was entitled at the time when he was inducted/transferred. The transfer confirmation letter dated 08.03.1992 does suggest variance in Scheme for employees but the boards decision has prospective application as far as lifting of any beneficial arrangements are concerned. Wisdom should have prevailed at the time when employees were being transferred and not at the twilight of their career when they (employees) only hoped to get their retirement benefits..

Pursuant to Article 129 of the Constitution, the executive authority of the Provincial Government is to be exercised by the Provincial Cabinet as a collective entity albeit in the name of the Governor. When a Provincial statute, such as the Sindh Agriculture University Act, 1977, provides for the exercise of executive authority by the Provincial Government, that is to be done and the decision for that has to be taken by the Provincial Cabinet and not by the Chief Minister alone. Rel: Mustafa Impex v. Government of Pakistan (PLD 2016 SC 808); Karamat Ali v. Federation of Pakistan (PLD 2018 Sindh 8); Mirpurkhas Sugar Mills Ltd. v. Province of Sindh, C.P. No.D-8591/2018. 2. Having seen that the word Government in section 27(1) of the Sindh Agriculture University Act, 1977, as it stood amended at the relevant time by the Sindh Universities and Institutes Laws (Amendment) Act, 2014, could only mean the Provincial Cabinet, the decision to extend the tenure of the Respondent No.5 as Vice Chancellor for another term, and the terms and conditions of such extension, had to be taken by the Provincial Cabinet and not by the Chief Minister in isolation of the Provincial Cabinet.

58 Nil Suit 1646/2008 (S.B.) Sindh High Court, Karachi Original Side 2008 Arshad Mahmood & Others (Plaintiff) VS Province of Sindh (Defendant) 23-DEC-19 Yes Since the Hindu Gymkhana is a Government-owned protected heritage and the Subject Agreement is not with any private-owner of protected heritage under sections 7(3) to 7(5) or section 8 of the Sindh Cultural Heritage (Preservation) Act, 1994 [the Heritage Act], the role of the Advisory Committee envisaged under the said provisions is also not attracted. For the same reason the power of the Advisory Committee to pass a prohibitory order under section 10 of the Heritage Act, which is dependent on an agreement with the private owner under section 8 of the Act, is also not attracted. The record does not show that the Government sanctioned custodianship of the Hindu Gymkhana to the Advisory Committee under section 7(1) of the Heritage Act; nor does the criteria of section 13 of the Heritage Act seems to be met by the Hindu Gymkhana. Thus, having seen that the provisions of sections 7, 8, 10 and 13 of the Heritage Act are not attracted to the circumstances of the case, prima facie it cannot be said that construction of a theatre by NAPA on the land granted to it was prohibited by the Heritage Act, or that the said Act required NAPA to obtain the approval of the Advisory Committee before raising such construction. Impugned notice to remain suspended pending suit. Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan Iqbal Chaudhry(Author)

Commander (R) Engr: Abdul Aziz Narejo (Petitioner) VS K.P.T and Ors (Respondent) 23-OCT-19 Yes Though he was appointed in the year 1996 on ad-hoc and the appointment apparently was not regular one yet the petitioner has spent more than two decades with a hope that no later, the post would fallen vacant, he will be considered. The record reflects that he is still being considered as ad-hoc. This status throughout his career has not earned him anything except that he has faced certain charges which he defended and that he being deprived of further promotion on account of such status. The period of ad-hoc appointment should not have prevailed for such a long period. In case the authority had no complaints as far as the conduct and working of the petitioner is concerned, steps should have been taken by the authority to regularize the services of the petitioner. The authority remained indolent and petitioner continued as ad-hoc. The record shows that the only ground whereby he was deprived of any such promotion is that he was an ad-hoc employee. Thus, while we consider that his very appointment was not made on regular basis in BPS-18, we are also conscious of the fact that the petitioner has served more than two decades without any prospects of promotion Hon'ble Chief Justice Mr. Justice Muhammad Shafi Siddiqui(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan Iqbal Chaudhry

The question then, whether such power has been used unlawfully, is different, and one that may vary with the circumstances of each case. While making such challenge, the Plaintiff had also to demonstrate infringement of a Fundamental Right. The invoking of section 177(1) does not militate against the concept of deemed assessment under section 122 of the Ordinance. Malafides had to be pleaded with particulars.

Therefore, in our view, before the matter could be fixed for framing charge, there had to be some discussion as to which of the alleged contemnors was prima facie responsible.

Ltd administrative control of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources. In respect of an area of 3818.81 acres at Lakhra, District Jamshoro, for which a mining-lease was granted to the Petitioner for mining coal for a period of thirty[30] years. These renewal applications remained pending with the Respondent No.2, and though in the meantime both the mining-leases of the Petitioner expired in April 2015, the date of such expiry stood extended .Respondent No.2 had granted mining-permits to SLCMC without waiting for a decision on the Petitioners appeals pending under Rule 71 of the SMC Rules. Mr. Jawad Dero, the learned AAG Sindh, and Mr. Jaffar Raza, learned counsel for SLCMC had objected to the maintainability of these fresh petitions on the ground that the Hyderabad Petitions for the same relief were still pending. we agree with Barrister Zameer Ghumro that these petitions cannot be held to be not-maintainable merely on the ground that the Hyderabad Petitions are also pending. Appellate Authority manifests that the refusal to renew the Petitioner mining-leases was only for the reason that the Petitioner was Federal Government entity and the Government of Sindh had already made up its mind to award a mining concession in the same area to the SLCMC, a company wholly owned by the Government of Sindh. Having found no reason to interfere in the discretion exercised by the Respondent No.2 The petitions succeed for prayer clause 3 in terms that the impugned Notifications dated 09-07-2018 granting mining permits to SLCMC (Respondent No.3) having been granted in contravention of Rule 68 of the SMC Rules, the same are without lawful authority and are therefore set-aside judgment shall be dispatched by the office to o be placed in C.P.

The wisdom behind that of course is that when called upon by the Court, if the plaintiff/vendee cannot demonstrate that he is ready and willing to make payment to perform his part of the contract, which is the primary test for grant of equitable discretionary relief in a suit for specific performance, then that is sufficient reason for the Court to decline the exercise of discretionary jurisdiction. Rel: Allah Ditta v. Bashir Ahmed (1997 SCMR 181); Abdul Hameed Khan v. Ghulam Rabbani (2003 SCMR 953); and Hamood Mehmood v. Shabana Ishaque (2017 SCMR 2022); 2. It is not in every case that the Court may require the plaintiff of a suit for specific performance of contract to deposit the sale consideration in Court. Rel: Bin Bak Industries (Pvt.) Ltd. v. Friends Associates (2003 SCMR 238). Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan Iqbal Chaudhry(Author)
106 Nil Civil Revision 4/2005 (S.B.) Sindh High Court, Circuit at Larkana Criminal Appellate Jurisdictions 2005 United Bank Limited (Applicant) VS Shoaib Ahmed and others (Respondent) 09-AUG-19 Yes Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan Iqbal Chaudhry(Author)
107 Nil Const. P. 6439/2019 (D.B.) Sindh High Court, Karachi Writ Jurisdictions 2019 Javeria (Petitioner) VS Province of Sindh & Others (Respondent) 14-NOV-19 Yes (a) The repeal of the PMDC Ordinance, 2019 was by virtue of Article 89(2)(a)(ii) of the Constitution, i.e., by a resolution of the Senate disapproving the same and not by way of any repealing enactment. Therefore, the effect of repeal contained in sections 6, 6-A and section 24 of the General Clauses Act, 1897, which otherwise apply only when a repeal is by way of a repealing enactment, were neither triggered nor would those serve as an aid in construing the effect of repeal under a Constitutional provision such as Article 89. In other words, on the repeal of the PMDC Ordinance, 2019 by the effect of Article 89 of the Constitution, nothing contained in the General Clauses Act, 1897 would come to save the Amending Admission Regulations that had been made under the repealed Ordinance. In view of Pakistan Medical and Dental Council v. Muhammad Fahad Malik (supra), Article 264 of the Constitution also did not have the effect of saving or giving permanency to the Amended Admission Regulations when the effect of the PMDC Ordinance, 2019 was only temporary as it was never accorded approval by the Parliament. Therefore, on 29-08-2019, when the PMDC Ordinance, 2019 was repealed by the effect of Article 89 of the Constitution, the Amended Admission Regulations also stood repealed and the Original Admission Regulations were revived. (b) It will be seen that while the proviso to sub-section (2) of section 50 of the PMC Ordinance, 2019 repeals all previous Regulations, but that is subject to sub-section (7) which provides that the previous Regulations will continue to apply to the on-going admission process. The repeal of the PMDC Ordinance, 1962 by the PMC Ordinance, 2019, the former being a permanent statute under the 1973 Constitution, is not a repeal by virtue of Article 89 of the Constitution, but a repeal by a repealing statute, albeit a temporary one, and one which has been expressly made subject to section 6 of the General Clauses Act, 1897, which in turn provides that the repeal shall not revive anything not in force or existing at the time at which the repeal takes effect. We have already discussed above that on 29-08-2019 the Amended Admission Regulations had ceased and the Original Admission Regulations had revived. Therefore, when sub-section (7) of section 50 of the PMC Ordinance, 2019 provides that the previous Regulations will continue to apply to the on-going admission process, those can only be the Original Admission Regulations.

Therefore, the effect of repeal contained in sections 6, 6-A and section 24 of the General Clauses Act, 1897, which otherwise apply only when a repeal is by way of a repealing enactment, were neither triggered nor would those serve as an aid in construing the effect of repeal under a Constitutional provision such as Article 89. In other words, on the repeal of the PMDC Ordinance, 2019 by the effect of Article 89 of the Constitution, nothing contained in the General Clauses Act, 1897 would come to save the Amending Admission Regulations that had been made under the repealed Ordinance. In view of Pakistan Medical and Dental Council v. Muhammad Fahad Malik (supra), Article 264 of the Constitution also did not have the effect of saving or giving permanency to the Amended Admission Regulations when the effect of the PMDC Ordinance, 2019 was only temporary as it was never accorded approval by the Parliament. Therefore, on 29-08-2019, when the PMDC Ordinance, 2019 was repealed by the effect of Article 89 of the Constitution, the Amended Admission Regulations also stood repealed and the Original Admission Regulations were revived. (b) It will be seen that while the proviso to sub-section (2) of section 50 of the PMC Ordinance, 2019 repeals all previous Regulations, but that is subject to sub-section (7) which provides that the previous Regulations will continue to apply to the on-going admission process. The repeal of the PMDC Ordinance, 1962 by the PMC Ordinance, 2019, the former being a permanent statute under the 1973 Constitution, is not a repeal by virtue of Article 89 of the Constitution, but a repeal by a repealing statute, albeit a temporary one, and one which has been expressly made subject to section 6 of the General Clauses Act, 1897, which in turn provides that the repeal shall not revive anything not in force or existing at the time at which the repeal takes effect. We have already discussed above that on 29-08-2019 the Amended Admission Regulations had ceased and the Original Admission Regulations had revived. Therefore, when sub-section (7) of section 50 of the PMC Ordinance, 2019 provides that the previous Regulations will continue to apply to the on-going admission process, those can only be the Original Admission Regulations.

Sindh High Court, Karachi Original Side 2015 Wakeel Akhtar (Plaintiff) VS Shahzad Alam (Defendant) 29-NOV-19 Yes While Article 84 of the Qanun-e-Shahadat Order provides a mode for proving execution of a document by comparison of signature or hand-writing, that is an additional mode and not a substitute of or an alternate to the mandatory provision of Article 79 of the Qanun-e-Shahadat Order. The mode of proof by way of Article 84 is not the most desirable of modes in that, the signature and hand-writing of a person may vary with time and age; or a person called upon under sub-Article (2) of Article 84 to give a specimen of his signature or hand-writing may feign the same to defeat the comparison.

Sindh High Court, Karachi Original Side 2018 KARMAT HUSSAIN S/O MUBARAK HUSSAIN (Appellant) VS THE STATE (Respondent) 31-MAR-20 Yes 1. Even in a case involving capital punishment, conviction can follow on circumstantial evidence, but that such circumstantial evidence should provide all links in an unbroken chain where one end of the chain touches the dead body and the other the neck of the accused. 2. Though evidence implicating an accused cannot be used to convict him if he was not confronted with it under section 342 Cr.P.C., but that does not mean to say that every inadequate examination under section 342 Cr.P.C. results in vitiating the trial, nor does it mean to say that the other independent evidence standing against the accused stands diminished. Rel. S.A.K. Rehmani v. The State (2005 SCMR 364). Even discarding the evidence not confronted to the accused under section 342 Cr.P.C., the chain of circumstantial evidence against him is complete and uninterrupted.

Notwithstanding the failure of the defendant to comply with conditions of a leave application, the Court is still required to apply its mind to the case of the plaintiff before passing any order/judgment. Leave granted where statement of account incomplete. 2. Notwithstanding the creation of a mortgage, the mortgagor remains liable to the lessor for any breach or non-performance of the conditions of lease; and that if the lessor forfeits the lease, the remedy of the mortgagee is against the mortgagor for indemnification, and not against the lessor. The security of the mortgagee in the mortgaged property can be no better than the interest given to the mortgagor by the lease. Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan Iqbal Chaudhry(Author)

In the present case, the petitioner was relieved from the duties on medical grounds and his appeal was rejected on the same analogy. Besides above, the assertion of the petitioner is misconceived on the premise that he obtained a medical examination fitness test certificate on 02.12.2019 after the rejection of his appeal, on 14.5.2019, thus this document could not be taken into consideration, besides the respondents have relied upon the documents which prima facie show adverse inference against him.

207 2020 SHC KHI 1190 J.M 74/2015 (S.B.) Sindh High Court, Karachi Original Side 2015 Maula Bakhsh. (Applicant) VS Muhammad Abrar Ahmed & Others. (Respondent) 02-MAR-20 Yes 1. Substituted service by way of publication is only presumed to be personal service by virtue of Rule 20(2) of Order V CPC. Such presumption is rebuttable. Therefore, where service by publication is challenged, the first test is to see whether the conditions of Order V Rule 20 CPC had been met, viz., that the publication was resorted to after the Court was satisfied that the defendant was avoiding service, or there was some other reason to believe that summons could not be served in the ordinary manner; in other words, whether the ordinary modes of service available had been exhausted. Rel: Muhammad Anwar v. Abdul Haq (1985 SCMR 1228); Haji Akbar v. Gul Baran (1996 SCMR 1703); and Nargis Latif v. Feroz Afaq Ahmed Khan (2001 SCMR 99). 2. While a couriers receipt was filed to show that summons had been dispatched, there was no report of delivery by the courier to show that summons so dispatched were delivered or tendered within the meaning of Order V Rule 10 CPC. So far there is no statute that attaches a presumption of service to summons sent by a private courier service (as opposed to a public courier service). Rel: Inayatullah v. Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah (2014 SCMR 1477). Thus, it can be safely said that prior to publication neither the available modes of service were exhausted nor was there a verification that the modes of service so used had failed. In any case, the publication made was at best publication of the notice of the pending CMAs and there was no publication made of the summons of the suit. 3. Had it not been a case attracting section 12(2) CPC, the exparte judgment and decree could nonetheless be set-aside under Order IX Rule 13 CPC. Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan Iqbal Chaudhry(Author)

Regularization of Ad-hoc or contract employees under Act of 2013 is not open for all those contractual and ad-hoc employees for whom the codel formalities have not been fulfilled thus a competition should have been made available amongst all those who were interested in the appointments on subject posts. We would not approve the process involved in the appointment of petitioners, which could ultimately deprive the eligible and entitled persons of a fair competition and a precedent could be made to cater the system where the appointment of selected persons, can be legitimized.

Thus, the incumbent of the upgraded post retains his substantive grade; (iii) Up-gradation is meant for isolated posts, where the service structure does not provide avenues for promotion to a higher pay-scale thus putting the incumbent at a disadvantage as compared to other employees, its purpose being to address the stagnation and frustration of the employee of such post so that he/she remains productive; (iv) To justify up-gradation, the Government will have to demonstrate that it is required for restructuring or reforming the department or to meet exigencies of service in the public interest. In other words, up-gradation should be pursuant to a scheme or a policy; (v) Up-gradation should not be to the prejudice of other employees and should not be used to by-pass prescribed rules of promotion.

Sindh High Court, Karachi Criminal Appellate Jurisdictions 2019 FAHEEMUDDIN S/O ALEEMUDDIN (Applicant) VS THE STATE (Respondent) 27-NOV-19 Yes In section 395 PPC, while the alternative to life imprisonment is rigorous punishment which shall not be less than four years nor more than ten years, that alternative punishment still provides for a maximum of 10 years, keeping the offence within the prohibitory clause of section 497 Cr.P.C. Thus, at the stage of bail when the Court looks at the alternate punishment provided under section 395 PPC, that is for the purposes of considering whether the case is one of further inquiry within the ambit of sub-section (2) of section 497 Cr.P.C., and it is not to say that the case does not fall within the prohibitory clause of section 497 Cr.P.C.

Of Pakistan and ors (Respondent) 22-JAN-20 Yes 1. Since the Petitioners service was terminated under Rule 8(b)(1) of the DHA Service Rules, which rule has since been declared un-constitutional by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in the case of Itrat Sajjad (2017 SCMR 2010), the only point left for our consideration is whether the effect of the declaration in Itrat Sajjad on the case of the Petitioner can be addressed by us in writ jurisdiction. 2. It had been settled by a 5 member Bench of the Supreme Court in DHA v. Jawaid Ahmed (2013 SCMR 1707) that applying the function test, the DHA is a person to whom a writ can issue under Article 199(1)(a)(ii) of the Constitution of Pakistan. But then, moving to a question distinct, viz. whether the employee of a statutory authority can invoke the writ jurisdiction of the High Court to enforce service rules of the statutory authority, it was held that where service rules were non-statutory, those cannot normally be enforced in writ jurisdiction for such rules attract the principle of master and servant; but at the same time it was also held that where action of a statutory authority in a service matter is in violation of principles of natural justice, such action can be interfered with in writ jurisdiction. Itrat Sajjad reiterates the same principles, and while it was concluded that the DHA Service Rules are non-statutory and thus not enforceable ordinarily by way of a writ petition, the judgment went on to hold that since Rule 8(b)(1) of the DHA Service Rules violated the principle of natural justice, the case fell within the recognized exception that a writ can issue where the action of a statutory authority in a service matter is violative of the principle of natural justice. For the same reason, this petition, to the extent it assails termination issued under the same Rule 8(b)(1) of the DHA Service Rules, is also maintainable.

It is the existence of law at the relevant time that counts, which may have been interpreted at a later date. Since the deficiency in the appointment notification as far as Provincial Cabinet is concerned, is not questioned no challenge could be thrown. The principle we derive from the conclusion of the aforesaid three judgments is that Mustafa Impex only invalidates those actions retrospectively which were impugned in that lis and not all others, so by virtue of aforesaid principle the notification for the appointment of the petitioner is saved whereas it set a mechanism for future course i.e. issuance of impugned notification.

Therefore, in our view, before the matter could be fixed for framing charge, there had to be some discussion as to which of the alleged contemnors was prima facie responsible.

FARHEEN W/O AURANGZEB MUHAMMAD KHAN (Applicant) VS THE STATE & ANOTHER (Respondent) 18-DEC-19 Yes 1. The ratio of the said judgments of the Supreme Court is that where the remedy under section 249-A Cr.P.C. is available before the trial Court, the High Court should not exercise inherent jurisdiction under section 561-A Cr.P.C except in extraordinary circumstances which warrant such an action. In other words, the question is not to the jurisdiction of the High Court, but the manner in which such jurisdiction is to be regulated by the High Court. Ref. Muhammad Farooq v. Ahmed Nawaz Jagirani (PLD 2016 SC 55); Maqbool Rehman v. State (2002 SCMR 1076); Bashir Ahmed v. Zafar-ul-Islam (PLD 2004 SC 298); Mian Munir Ahmad v. State (1985 SCMR 257). 2. It is a misconception to state that in all cases where it is being contended that a civil dispute has been converted into a criminal case, an applicant need not approach the trial Court under section 249-A Cr.P.C. or 265-K Cr.P.C. 3. The argument that section 249-A Cr.P.C. cannot be invoked until a formal charge is framed under section 242 Cr.P.C., is misconceived. Section 249-A Cr.P.C. categorically states that the power thereunder can be exercised at any stage of the case. Rel. State v. Ashiq Ali Bhutto, 1993 SCMR 523.

Under section 8-A of the Illegal Dispossession Act, 2005, an order that is appealable to the High Court does not include an order dismissing the complaint. However, the appeal can be converted to a criminal revision. 2.
