Fatima Ehsan Al Ghori & others (Respondent) | 12-DEC-23 | Yes | The appellant perhaps on their own obtained expert opinion on the basis of the photocopies which could not be considered at all on several counts. Firstly, it was done at their own and whatever material provided to the alleged expert is not known either to the respondent or to the Court. Secondly, undisputedly the report was based on the photocopy of a material document which is seriously disputed and was never produced throughout the proceedings and any forensic report of an expert based on photocopy, that too obtained unilaterally, cannot be relied upon and would be gross miscarriage of justice, if that is considered. Who acknowledged those bearer certificates is also a mystery and where and how such certificates were encashed (although were bearer) is also an untraced history and the appellant negligently avoided to lead evidence. | Hon'ble Chief Justice Mr. Justice Muhammad Shafi Siddiqui(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jawad Akbar Sarwana | C.P.L.A.1026/2024 M/s Standard Chartered Bank Pakistan Limited, Karachi v.

(Defendant) | 13-OCT-23 | Yes | As a rule, Articles of Association normally exclude any interest claim on unpaid dividends. The Defendant Company had withheld payment of unpaid dividends to Plaintiff even though Articles 6, 5 and 14 of the Articles of Association of 1953, 1986 and 2007 provided an exception to the rule.

Only those legal heirs of the deceased Customer known to the bank were impleaded. The suit was decreed against the Bank. It was held that the decree is enforceable against the mortgaged property of the deceased Customer. The Bank has priority over the legal heirs shares in the said mortgaged property. The fact that the Bank discovered in appellate proceedings that it had not impleaded all the legal heirs is of no consequence. The Judgment-Debtors/Legal Heirs of the deceased customer's challenge to the Banking Court???s decree was dismissed. | Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Saleem Jessar, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jawad Akbar Sarwana(Author) | ||
| 17 | 2023 SHC KHI 441 | Suit 368/2023 (S.B.) Sindh High Court, Karachi | Original Side | 2023 | ZEDCO (Plaintiff) VS TERUMO BCT ASIA PTE LTD & OTHERS (Defendant) | 07-JUL-23 | Yes | No interim relief can be granted, which is not prayed for in the main suit. The prayer clause in the main suit seeks orders to restrain Defendants from transferring the Plaintiff???s licence to another person. But the impugned decision of Defendant No.2 does not relate to the transfer of the import license. The impugned decision is for the cancellation of the import license of Plaintiff and not transfer. Thus, the interim relief sought by Plaintiff in CMA No.9885/2023 is not pleaded in the main suit. Further, Court proceedings will take their own time, whereas the medical devices of Defendant No.1 in circulation have a limited shelf life. A court should be mindful that when granting discretionary relief, its decision may not create a potential risk to the public. Therefore, this Court should avoid creating a new situation from a public health perspective too and is not inclined to withdraw the impugned decision on this score too. CMA No.9885/2023 is dismissed with directions to the Appellate Board of the Authority that if the Plaintiff prefers an appeal to the impugned decision before the Board, then the Board will give the Plaintiff an opportunity to be heard, including a personal hearing before passing any final order in the appeal. | Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jawad Akbar Sarwana(Author) | ||

| 44 | 2024 SBLR Sindh 1347 | H.C.A 372/2023 (D.B.) Sindh High Court, Karachi | Civil Appellate Jurisdictions | 2023 | M/s National Refinery Limited (Appellant) VS Syed Mansoor Ali and Others (Respondent) | 14-NOV-23 | Yes | Sub-section-2 of Section-3 provides an appeal to a Bench of two or more Judges of High Court from an order made by a single Judge of that Court under clause-1 of Article-199 of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, not being an order made under subparagraph (i) of paragraph (b) of that clause. To our understanding, it excludes an appeal in relation to a subject summarized in Article199(1)(b)(i), whereas, rest of the "subjects" of Article-199(1) have been subjected to appeal. Subject of dismissal of a claim made under Section-15 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1936 is already subjected to appeal under Section-17, but this is not the ???subject??? which could be impugned in any of the lower fora and hence neither appeal nor petition is a remedy. For the purpose of appeal under Law Reforms Ordinance or this appeal in particular wherefrom the impugned order has arisen, out of proceeding under Article-199 from a single Bench, we may sum-up by referring to Appellate side of Sindh Chief Court Rules. Rule-8 confers jurisdiction ordinarily exercised by two Judges of this Court, except otherwise provided by law in particular. Similarly Rule-9 discussed matter to be decided by single Judge of appellate side, not necessarily under Article-199 as there may be some miscellaneous lis etc. Such work (subject) assigned under Rule9 ibid is not the one impugned by the appellant before learned single Judge, hence jurisdiction was not vested and incorrectly exercised. | Hon'ble Chief Justice Mr. Justice Muhammad Shafi Siddiqui(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jawad Akbar Sarwana | C.P.L.A.4312/2023 National Refinery Limited, Karachi v.

Plaintiff was unable to establish through evidence the five (5) elements that form the basis for accepting or rejecting a suit for recovery of damages for malicious prosecution/malicious civil proceedings as laid down in the case of Niaz and Others v. Abdul Sattar and Others, PLD 2006 SC 432. In the circumstances, proving the six (6) principles for granting and/or refusing damages with regards to malicious prosecution/malicious civil proceedings as laid down in Muhammad Akram v.

OF SINDH AND OTHERS (Respondent) | 05-MAR-24 | Yes | i-Section 10(2) of the Citizen Act gives a preferential treatment to the spouse of Pakistani man vis-??-vis a Pakistani woman and thus infringes constitutional guarantees ii-The object is foreign spouses and not just foreign wives and thus making of 10(2) and reading it now may vary with constitutional demands. The intent of the said provision is not to encourage or facilitate women to marry Pakistani men. The concept which now emerged through international jurisprudence is to enable Pakistanis married to foreigners to be able to live together and acquire nationality for their spouses and live a family life in Pakistan and the Act of 1951 should now be read and tamed accordingly. Restricting the benefit of Section 10(2) to Pakistani men only is a clear discrimination to Pakistani women. 45. The doctrine of reading in is used by Courts to extend the scope to avoid and limit the discriminatory language having head-on conflict with a constitutional provision. The doctrine of ???reading in??? involves adding words to a statutory provision to bring it in conformity with constitutional provisions. iii- The application of "reading in" is required to cater section 10(2) of the Citizenship Act to save it from offending Article 25 of the Constitution that is wherever reference is made to ???woman??? and ???she??? therein; the words "or man" and "or he" be read.

(Appellant) VS Major Muhammad Abdul Aziz & another (Respondent) | 08-NOV-23 | Yes | The learned Judge has correctly granted HBFC cost of funds from 2010 onwards in the Judgment, which, according to Respondent No.1-Customer???s admission, was the date of default, yet there is no explanation why the learned Judge proceeded to apply a varying rate of cost of funds as already discussed. Therefore, HBFC???s claim that the learned Judge of the Banking Court has not granted the cost of funds from the date of default is incorrect. In fact, the Banking Court granted costs of funds but did not grant HBFC the cost of funds as certified by the State Bank of Pakistan from time to time from 2010 till the date of Judgment in May 2016. The case is remanded to the Banking Court to determine the cost of funds amount payable to HBFC in terms of section 3(2) of the FIO, 2001. There shall be no change in the already decreed principal outstanding amount of Rs.1,771,340 and the costs of the suit of Rs.31,425, which will remain the same. The Respondent No.1-Customer has already paid HBFC through the Banking Court a total sum of Rs.3,057,486, which comprised of the old decretal (i) principal outstanding amount, (ii) the disputed cost of funds amount, and (iii) the costs of the suit. The Banking Court shall adjust the payment already made by Respondent No.1-Customer to HBFC of Rs.3,057,486 against the fresh cost of funds to be determined by it and pass an amended Decree, accordingly. All the other terms and conditions of the Decree dated 05.05.2016 shall remain intact. | Hon'ble Chief Justice Mr. Justice Muhammad Shafi Siddiqui, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jawad Akbar Sarwana(Author) | ||

Pleadings sought relief based on errors in gathering samples for testing of aflatoxin levels sent to different Labs across Pakistan. Plaint did not impugn the testing standards of PPD, challenged sampling only (applying plant standards to food items), USDA procedure for aflatoxin thought adopted by DPP, not properly applied and pest (fungi) causing aflatoxin not codified. Plaintiff could not plead a different case. Challenge not set up in Plaint, argued orally, cannot help Plaintiff's cause when seeking discretionary relief. Single Judge Order not binding, distinguishable on facts, prima facie case not made out as Court-ordered Report confirming higher than allowable levels of aflatoxin in consignment not appealed or challenged. | Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jawad Akbar Sarwana(Author) | ||

Neither evidence was brought on record to corroborate the rate of exchange applied, nor did the defendant raise any objections. The rate of exchange applied for the conversion of USD Invoices in PKR accepted. Court auction order passed by the Court of the Republic of Togo duly certified evidence of change in title of ownership. Court auction order evidenced that at the time of the cause of action accrued in Pakistan against the vessel, the vessel was not owned by the new owner. Plaintiff's claim is neither maritime lien nor sustainable under Sections 4(3) and 4(4) of the Admiralty Jurisdiction of the High Court Ordinance, 1980 nor is fraud alleged by Plaintiff proven. During the hearing, Defendant No.2, the Agent of Vessel, furnished an Affidavit of No Objection accepting the claim amount in personam.

Sindh High Court, Karachi | Original Side | 2007 | MCB Bank Limited (Plaintiff) VS EMAD UL HASAN (Defendant) | 01-FEB-24 | Yes | Plaintiff-Bank elected to proceed against Customer for recovery of loan in the ordinary civil jurisdiction. The trial court never framed any issue of jurisdiction, and parties had concluded evidence. Appellate Court framed issue of jurisdiction to be decided by the trial court. Defendant urged that returning the Plaint to the Banking Court after 16 years would be tantamount to failure of justice. Principles discussed in unreported Judgement dated 11.01.2024 in High Court Appeal No.129 of 2017, Nooruddin & others Versus M/s Sindh Industrial Trading Estate & others applied. The factor of delay may be one of the considerations when examining the question of territorial and pecuniary jurisdiction but not subject-matter jurisdiction. Delay in identifying subject-matter jurisdiction may not be considered as a failure of justice as set out in Section 21 of CPC. | Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jawad Akbar Sarwana(Author) | ||

(Applicant) VS Anwar Ali Janwri and others (Respondent) | 12-FEB-24 | Yes | The onus was on the Plaintiff to prove his claim to succeed in his suit. A prayer clause has no place in the Written Statement, and the trial court should have ignored it. Instead, the trial court copied and pasted the prayer clause from Defendant/Respondent No.1???s Written Statement as an issue on which parties were at variance when this was clearly not the case. Issue No.5, framed by the trial court, was wholly alien and did not arise from the pleadings. As such, it was rightly ignored by the trial court in its judgment. The trial court correctly decided the suit on the sole issue of maintainability, and for the reasons discussed hereinabove, there was no need to examine the other issues framed by the trial court. Revision dismissed. | Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jawad Akbar Sarwana(Author) | ||

(Appellant) VS Sindh Sugar Corporation Limited & Another (Respondent) | 15-NOV-23 | Yes | Article 10A serves as a safeguard for individuals condemned without a fair hearing, ensuring that actions taken against such individuals adhere to the principles of due process of law. In the instant case, Article 10A of the Constitution guaranteed the right to a free trial, and as auction purchasers, this right was unmistakably infringed upon when the Court failed to provide them with notice. A thorough examination of the appeal file reveals a glaring absence of notice to the auction purchaser, a procedural step that the Court should have diligently observed. The Appellants filed their appeals without delay as soon as they received notice from the Official Assignee as Provisional Manager about passing the Order dated 07.09.2021. A breach of Article 10-A of the Constitution of Pakistan is evident. The Appellants were not present before the learned Single Judge to assist the Court in the proceedings.

Ltd. & others (Respondent) | 11-JAN-24 | Yes | So Section 21 CPC has its own comprehensive jurisprudence which could overview the original court`s proceedings. The ibid section is primarily for appellate/revisional court where an appeal is preferred apparently by the appellant defending the suit but one must not be misled by such language. The language is couched in such a way that for appellant, who defended the suit, some restrictions were imposed, before enabling the appellate court to take cognizance. It has, however, provided a legal frame for the trial court considering the nature of jurisdiction being objected. **Lack of territorial or pecuniary jurisdiction becomes a mere irregularity at a later stage, if not taken at the earliest which does not make a decree nullity and in fact if taken belatedly and successfully may lead to a failure of justice. ***The two jurisdictions of the appellate court have been established to have acted lawfully i.e. (i). In the first instance where on account of procedural illegality or irregularity, identified above for [a] & [b] kinds of jurisdiction not by way of inherent lack of jurisdiction, a litigant plaintiff is ousted and (ii). In a case of lack of inherent jurisdiction, the court continue to proceed with the matter which may have resulted in the failure of justice. For both these limbs, the appellate jurisdiction is available | Hon'ble Chief Justice Mr. Justice Muhammad Shafi Siddiqui(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jawad Akbar Sarwana | ||

Sindh High Court, Circuit at Larkana | Civil Appellate Jurisdictions | 2024 | Arslan Habib Buriro (Applicant) VS Rustam Ali Tunio (Respondent) | 19-FEB-24 | Yes | After the recording of evidence, the trial court was operating in the second stage of the summary suit and had to dig deeper into the evidence to decide the suit. The evidence brought on record required greater scrutiny, and the threshold of the burden of proof was on a higher pedestal based on the general principles of the law of evidence. Yet the trial court decided against the applicant/defendant on the assumption that the production of the cheque was sufficient and/or no further proof was required as the cheque was a negotiable instrument. This may be one of the considerations in deciding an application for leave to defend, but it was not proper for the trial court to overlook the circumstantial evidence produced by the applicant-defendant-Arslan Buriro and available in the suit file surrounding the alleged loan and the cheque issuance. Revision against the Execution allowed. | Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jawad Akbar Sarwana(Author) | ||

Several Judgments of the Supreme Court of Pakistan have already made affirmative observations in support of the proposition in the case of local government and municipal authorities. In such cases, as per CPC and Sindh Civil Court Rules, KMC, as a 'third-tier of Government", may appoint counsels by way of filing a Memo of Appearance instead of Vakalatnama subject to conditions specified under the Sindh Local Government Act, 2013. KMC???s Counsel???s submission, based on a judgment of the Indian Court that the government, at its discretion, may appoint as many government pleaders as it likes, is contrary to Pakistan law based on Judgment of Supreme Court of Pakistan in Rasheed Ahmad v. Federal of Pakistan through Secretary, Ministry of Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage, Government of Pakistan Islamabad, and Other, PLD 2017 SC 121. | Hon'ble Chief Justice Mr. Justice Muhammad Shafi Siddiqui, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jawad Akbar Sarwana(Author) | ||

Yet currently, SECP appears to be maintaining two different sets of standards for qualifications/remarks. It is clear that the Registrar of Companies, SECP is not empowered to publish qualifications/remarks on its dashboard and/or its digital platform for banks relating to the Plaintiff Company that ???Currently Company is under DISPUTE CASES??? as the same is contrary to law and SECP???s regulations framed under the Companies Act, 2017. Consequently, SECP is directed to immediately remove the said remarks from its dashboard/digital portal accessed by banks or other entities and replace such qualifications/remarks with any of the qualifications/remarks that may be assigned to the Plaintiff Company under Regulation 20 of the Companies (Registration Offices) Regulations, 2018. | Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jawad Akbar Sarwana(Author) | ||

The pro-enforcement bias of the NY Convention discussed in the CNAN Group SpA case reported in PLD 2014 Sindh 349 in respect of Article V(1) is equally applicable to the Foreign Arbitral Award under challenge in this lis by Plaintiff. There has to be an action initiated by the Award-Creditor, first, in whose favor the Award has been made before the Award-Debtor raises a challenge in the domestic court. The suit is dismissed as not maintainable under Article V (2) of the New York Convention. Office is directed to draw up a decree in terms of the Judgment. | Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jawad Akbar Sarwana(Author) | ||
| 303 | 2024 MLD 1160 | H.C.A 180/2020 (D.B.) Sindh High Court, Karachi | Civil Appellate Jurisdictions | 2020 | Mst. Bhalan & others (Appellant) VS Muhammad Asif Sakaria & others (Respondent) | 22-NOV-23 | Yes | The ???embezzlement??? alleged by the Appellants/Plaintiffs in 2003 would have been in relation to the registered conveyance deeds of 1992, and still, Mohammad did not take any positive action to safeguard his rights up to the time of his death (he passed away on 13.01.2005). The second point is that the next conveyance of the Suit Properties took place through sale deeds duly registered in the years 2005 and 2007. The sale was registered after the death of Muhammad. This time, it was the onus of the legal heirs of Muhammad to remain vigilant, especially when apparently they had knowledge of the ???embezzlement??? in the year 2003. There is nothing on record to show that Muhammad and the legal heirs of Muhammad were not indolent. Nothing on record demonstrates their vigilance. The admission made by the legal heirs of Muhammad in clear terms in the Plaint disentitles the Appellants/Plaintiffs from raising any challenge to the Impugned Order of the trial court. The Appellants/Plaintiffs were well aware of the presumption of truth associated with a sale/conveyance deed that is duly registered under the Registration Act, 1908. The Appellants/Plaintiffs neither produced nor relied upon any document which prima facie could be deemed or interpreted to rebut such a presumption. This aspect of the matter did not and does not help the cause of the Appellants/Plaintiffs. In the circumstances, Appeal is dismissed. | Hon'ble Chief Justice Mr. Justice Muhammad Shafi Siddiqui, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jawad Akbar Sarwana(Author) | C.P.L.A.1114-K/2023 Muhammad Asif Sakaria v.

Mr. Makhdoom???s question that the Contempt of Court Ordinance, 2003 cannot be invoked, is a premature question when the defence is yet to be taken by the Appellants and considered by the learned Single Judge. We are also not satisfied that the issuance of a show-cause notice under the ibid law would cause prejudice to the rights likely to be determined by the learned Single Judge.
