Judgment & Decree

ABDUL QADIR SHAIKH, J.‑‑High Court of Sind by the impugned judgment has followed the law laid down by this Court in the case of Al‑Samrez Enterprise v. Pakistan (1986 SCMR 1917) which according to learned Deputy Attorney‑General who appears in support of the petitioner is squarely applicable on the facts of the cases. Learned Deputy Attorney‑General however submits that the petitioner has filed a review petition against the aforesaid judgment which is pending in this Court. But we find that the review petition is time‑barred by 352 days. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties we do not find valid ground for granting the request for interim relief in the terms prayed for, but, in order to safeguard the interest of the Government revenue, we by consent of the learned counsel for the parties direct that the Bank Guarantees furnished by respondents shall remain operative until the same are replaced by personal bonds in the same amounts to be executed before the Nazir of the High Court. This order will remain in force till the main petitions are decided. It is clarified that on the execution of the personal bonds as directed above, the Bank Guarantees executed by the respondents shall be returned to them.
