ANWAR MASIH vs MRS. VINNIS OLIVER KOKHAR AND Other
This petition is directed against the judgment of a learned Single Judge of the High Court dated 30-6-1976 and a subsequent judgment of a learned Division Bench dated 18-1-1977 dismissing the Intra-Court Appeal. The core legal question involves whether the petitioner has raised any substantial question of law warranting interference by the court, as opposed to merely seeking an inquiry into questions of fact. The Supreme Court of Pakistan held that since no question of law was raised and the petitioner only sought an inquiry into questions of fact, the petition is devoid of merit. The key principle laid down is that the Supreme Court will not interfere with concurrent findings or factual inquiries where no valid question of law is presented.
- Will the Supreme Court interfere with concurrent judgments when only questions of fact are raised?
- Is a petition barred by time with respect to the Single Judge's judgment maintainable when directed against an Intra-Court Appeal?
