GHULAM MUHAMMAD and anothers vs ALLAH DEWAYA and others
This matter comes before the Supreme Court of Pakistan upon a petition for leave to appeal. The core legal question involves reconciling conflicting precedents of the Court, specifically the decisions in Mir Ahmad and others v. Attaullah alias Atta Muhammad and others (PLD 1991 SC 210) and Abdullah and 3 others v. Abdul Karim and others (PLD 1968 SC 140) with Muhammad Riaz and others v. Fateh Muhammad and others (PLD 1991 SC 1099). The Court held that leave to appeal is granted for the purpose of reconciling these differing decisions.
- Can leave to appeal be granted to reconcile conflicting decisions of the Supreme Court?
- How are conflicting judgments of the Supreme Court reconciled?
