  Summary & questions settled

  This civil revision petition under Section 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908 was filed by the Peshawar Electricity Supply Company (PESCO) to challenge concurrent judgments decreeing the respondent’s suit against an inflated electricity bill. The Peshawar High Court primarily addressed the maintainability of the petition, examining whether an Executive Engineer could institute legal proceedings on behalf of a public limited company without a formal resolution from the Board of Directors. The Court dismissed the petition, holding that PESCO, as a body corporate, must authorize any legal action through a Board resolution, and unauthorized officers lack the standing to sign or file such petitions. Additionally, the Court noted that the petition lacked proper verification. On the merits, the Court affirmed the lower courts' findings, ruling that where an electricity meter is admittedly defective, the utility provider must charge the consumer based on their average past consumption rather than arbitrary assessments. The judgment reinforces the principle that corporate entities must strictly comply with procedural authorization requirements, and revision petitions must be properly verified.

  Questions settled

  • Whether a legal proceeding or civil revision filed on behalf of an incorporated public limited company is maintainable if instituted by an officer who is not authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors?
  • Do the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908 regarding the signing, verification, and presentation of appeals apply mutatis mutandis to civil revision petitions?
  • Can a subsequent power of attorney validate a civil revision petition that was originally filed by an unauthorized person without proper verification?
  • How should electricity charges be assessed against a consumer when the installed electricity meter is admittedly defective?

  Summary & questions settled

  This civil revision petition arose from a dispute over the specific performance of an agreement for the sale of a sawmill and land, initially filed under the Provincially Administered Tribal Areas Civil Procedure (Special Provisions) Regulation, 1975. The core legal question was whether the alleged agreement was specifically enforceable given the ambiguity regarding the total sale consideration and the absence of such terms in the original pleadings. The Peshawar High Court held that the agreement could not be specifically enforced because the terms were not established with reasonable certainty, as required by Section 21(c) of the Specific Relief Act, 1877. Furthermore, the Court emphasized that evidence regarding material particulars, such as the total consideration amount, cannot be admitted if it was not explicitly pleaded in the initial application. Consequently, the Court upheld the lower appellate court's decision to deny specific performance while maintaining the order for the refund of the earnest money with interest, ultimately dismissing the revision petition for lack of merit.

  Questions settled

  • Can a contract be specifically enforced if its terms, particularly the consideration, are not established with reasonable certainty?
  • Is it permissible for a party to lead evidence on material particulars that were not included in the original pleadings?
  • Does the failure to plead the total sale consideration in an application for specific performance preclude the court from enforcing the agreement?
