Miss GHAZALA SAEED Versus SECRETARY, LABOUR AND MANPOWER DEPARTMENT

This petition for leave to appeal was filed before the Supreme Court of Pakistan. During the proceedings, the petitioner's counsel requested to withdraw the petition, stating an intention to pursue an Intra-Court Appeal in the High Court instead. The counsel explained that the Intra-Court Appeal remedy had not been previously availed due to the court's vacation period, which had since concluded. Consequently, the Supreme Court dismissed the petition as not pressed, granting the petitioner liberty to pursue the appropriate legal remedy available under the law in the High Court. The judgment establishes the principle that a petitioner may withdraw a petition before the Supreme Court if they intend to exhaust alternative, more appropriate remedies, such as an Intra-Court Appeal, which were previously unavailable due to procedural circumstances like court vacations.
