Judgment & Decree

FALAK SHER, J.

This order will dispose of Civil Petition No.395-L of 2003 and 2122-L of 2002 having commonality of facts and law, stemming out of the same judgment delivered by a learned Judge of the Lahore High Court, dated 3rd of May, 2002 granting the captioned Writ petition No.64/R of 1996.

2. Since admittedly the petitioners in the former petition despite being potentially affected party were neither arrayed nor heard by the Lahore High Court in the writ petition referred to (supra) out of which the impugned judgment, dated 3-5-2002 has precipitated, therefore, with the consent of the parties converting the petitions into appeals are allowed, setting aside the impugned judgment both the cases are remitted to the learned High Court where the writ petition mentioned above would be deemed to be pending for adjudication thereof afresh after hearing all the concerned parties. On the circumstances there shall be no order as to costs. H.B.T./A-143/SC Order accordingly.
