TOYO MONKA KAISHA LTD. vs FERRO ALLOYS PAKISTAN LIMITED And Another
This matter concerns a petition for leave to appeal before the Supreme Court of Pakistan, arising from a judgment that is also the subject of a pending appeal (Civil Appeal No. 3 of 1988) involving another party. Upon hearing counsel, the Court granted leave to appeal, primarily to facilitate the possibility of reaching an agreed order that would resolve both the current matter and the related pending appeal. The Court directed that security of Rs. 5,000 be deposited in each case. Furthermore, the Court ordered that the appeals be prepared based on the existing record, with instructions for the parties to submit all necessary documentation for the final disposal of the matters. It was explicitly ordered that the instant appeal be heard concurrently with Civil Appeal No. 3 of 1988 to ensure consistency and judicial efficiency in the adjudication of the related disputes.
- Can the Supreme Court grant leave to appeal to explore the possibility of an agreed order between related appeals?
- Is it appropriate for the Supreme Court to direct that separate appeals be heard together when they arise from the same impugned judgment?
