This matter concerns Civil Review Petitions filed before the Supreme Court of Pakistan. The core legal question presented was whether the grounds raised in the review petitions warranted a reconsideration of the previous judgment. The Supreme Court, upon consideration, dismissed the Civil Review Petitions. The court held that the petitions did not meet the necessary criteria for review, though the detailed reasons for this dismissal were reserved to be recorded at a later date. The judgment affirms the principle that review jurisdiction is limited and is not an appeal in disguise, requiring specific grounds such as discovery of new and important matter or evidence, or some mistake or error apparent on the face of the record.

Questions settled in this judgment
  • Are the Civil Review Petitions liable to be dismissed?
  • Does the court have the authority to reserve reasons for a decision in a review petition?
