  temporary injunctioncivil revisionpossession protectiondue process of lawlocal commissionerencroachment
  Summary & questions settled

  This civil revision petition arises from an order of the Additional District Judge vacating a temporary injunction previously granted to the plaintiff by the Civil Judge under Order XXXIX, rules 1 and 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The plaintiff filed a suit for declaration and permanent injunction, claiming ownership and possession of a specific portion of land purchased from the first defendant, and alleging threatened interference by the defendants after obtaining an approved building plan from the Town Committee. The core legal question concerns whether a plaintiff in admitted peaceful possession is entitled to a temporary injunction protecting that possession pending trial, despite disputes over exact title and boundaries. The Lahore High Court held that a party in settled, peaceful possession is entitled to protection against forcible dispossession or interference otherwise than through due process of law, regardless of technical defects in title at the interlocutory stage. However, because the exact extent of the property and alleged encroachment on a public street were undetermined, the High Court set aside the lower appellate court's order, remanded the matter for fresh decision after local commission demarcation, and preserved interim protection subject to excluding public street areas.

  Questions settled

  • Whether a party in admitted peaceful possession of immovable property is entitled to a temporary injunction against threatened forcible interference pending a decision on title?
  • Can a temporary injunction be granted to protect possession without first determining the exact extent and site of possession through a local commissioner when boundaries are disputed?
  • Is a person in actual possession entitled to judicial protection against extra-judicial eviction even if their title or the full extent of their purchase is contested?

  workmancivil servantrailway employeeindustrial relationsconstitutional petitionlachesjurisdiction
  Summary & questions settled

  This constitutional petition arises from a service dispute wherein a railway peon, removed from service following an inquiry regarding an embezzeled cash bag, successfully challenged his removal before the Labour Court under Section 25-A of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969. The Labour Court set aside the removal due to a defective inquiry while permitting a fresh inquiry, and the Punjab Labour Appellate Tribunal dismissed subsequent appeals by both parties. The Lahore High Court dismissed the constitutional petition in limine, holding that the employee, a peon performing outdoor duties such as carrying cash boxes and railway salaries, qualified as a 'workman' under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923, and was thus excluded from the definition of a civil servant under the Civil Servants Act, 1973. The Court further ruled that pleas not raised before the lower appellate authority cannot be raised for the first time in constitutional jurisdiction, and that the petition suffered from inordinate laches of nearly nine months.

  Questions settled

  • Whether a railway peon performing outdoor duties such as carrying cash boxes qualifies as a workman under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923?
  • Does an employee who falls within the definition of a workman under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923, fall within the definition of a civil servant under the Civil Servants Act, 1973?
  • Can a new factual ground or plea that was not raised before the lower appellate authority be permitted to be raised for the first time in constitutional proceedings?
  • Whether a delay of nearly nine months in filing a constitutional petition against an order of the Labour Appellate Tribunal constitutes fatal laches?

  evidence on oathamendment of Section 340 Cr.P.C.competent witness for defenceadverse inferenceretrialanti-corruptioncriminal trial procedure
  Summary & questions settled

  This criminal appeal arises from the judgment of the Special Judge, Anti-Corruption, whereby the appellant was convicted under Section 161 of the Pakistan Penal Code 1860. The core legal question revolves around the effect and application of the newly amended Section 340(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1898, which altered the competency and requirement of an accused person to give evidence on oath in disproof of charges. The Lahore High Court held that the failure of the trial court to provide the accused an opportunity to give evidence on oath pursuant to the amended Section 340(2), Cr.P.C. constituted an incurable illegality vitiating the trial. The Court laid down the principle that under the amended law, an accused is required to be given the opportunity to give evidence on oath, and upon refusal to take oath or answer permissible questions, may render himself liable under Sections 178 and 179 of the Pakistan Penal Code 1860, while allowing the prosecution to comment and the court to draw adverse inferences, ultimately setting aside the conviction and remanding the case for retrial from the stage of the accused's examination.

  Questions settled

  • Whether the failure of a trial court to afford an accused the opportunity to give evidence on oath under the amended Section 340(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1898 is a curable irregularity?
  • Can an accused person be compelled by the Court to give evidence on oath under the amended Section 340(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1898?
  • Does an accused render himself liable to punishment under Sections 178 and 179 of the Pakistan Penal Code 1860 for refusing to take an oath or answer questions during trial?
  • Whether the prosecution can comment on the failure of an accused to give evidence on oath under the amended provisions?
