  • 2. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Additional Advocate-General Sindh and have also gone through the contents of the impugned order.

In this view of the matter, we convert this petition into appeal and allow the same with the consequence and the order impugned is set aside, the case is remanded to the High Court or Sindh for the constitution of Bench for disposal of the review application in accordance with law, preferably by the learned Judges who had heard the main case earlier.
