Syed MASUD HUSSAIN ZAHIDI vs AZIZ AHMAD Through Legal Heirs
This matter arises from a review petition filed before the Supreme Court of Pakistan seeking a review of an earlier order. The core legal question involves the reconsideration of matters related to unsatisfied produce-index-units. The Supreme Court held that the review petition lacked merit and accordingly dismissed it, while expressing a hope that the concerned government department would consider the petitioner's grievance regarding the balance of his produce-index-units remaining unsatisfied. The key principle laid down is that review petitions devoid of substantive legal grounds will be dismissed, though observations may be made to administrative authorities to address genuine grievances regarding the satisfaction of produce-index-units.
- Does a review petition lie when no substantive legal error or merit is shown in the impugned order?
- Can the Supreme Court direct or hope for administrative consideration of unsatisfied produce-index-units while dismissing a review petition?
ORDER
1. We find no merit in the review petition which is dismissed, but we would like to observe that the petitioner has made a grievance of the fact that the balance of his produce-index-units transferred for satisfaction elsewhere yet remain unsatisfied. We hope that the concerned department will consider his grievance.
