Judgment & Decree

JAVED IQBAL, J.

Heard Mr. Kamran Murtaza, learned ASC at length on behalf of petitioner and Syed Ayaz Zahoor, learned Sr. ASC for complainant in the above captioned review petitions which are being disposed of by this order being identical in nature.

2. All the arguments made today have been considered and decided in a comprehensive manner in the judgment impugned. In fact Mr. Kamran Murtaza, learned ASC wanted re-examination and re-evaluation of the entire evidence once again which we are afraid cannot be done while dilating upon these review petition. It is well settled by now that review cannot be granted on the ground that certain facts require re appraisement by Supreme Court. In this regard we are fortified by the dictum laid down in Basharat Khan v. The State (1984 SCMR 1033) (1), Zulfikar Ali Bhutto v. State (PLD 1979 SC 741), Muhammad Nazir v. State (1979 SCMR 89), Kala Khan v. Misri Khan (1979 SCMR 347), Saghir Ali v. Mehr Din (1968 SCMR 729). There is no cavil to the proposition that review cannot be granted for merely re-examination of the same arguments. Re-arguing a case on merits as well as additional grounds is beyond the scope of review petition. In this regard reference can be made to Manzoor Hussain v. Zohra Bibi (PLD 1990 SC 924), Haji Muhammad Sarwar v. Mian Asad Hakim and others (1983 SCMR 177), Jalal v. Nazir Ahmad (1980 SCMR 320). The above captioned c review petitions being devoid of merits are accordingly dismissed. N.H.Q./M-23/SC Petitions dismissed.
