Malik Habibullah Khan v. Pakistan Cement Industries Limited and others 1969 S C M R 965 ref. Zakiuddin Pal, Advocate Supreme Court and Kh. Mushtaq Ahmad, Advocate‑on‑Record for Petitioner. Date of hearing : 7th March, 1982. SHAFI‑UR‑REHMAN, J.‑The petitioner‑plaintiff seeks leave to appeal against the judgment of the Lahore High Court dated 26‑4‑1981 whereby a revision petition filed by him against the refusal of the trial Court denying to the petitioner the permission to produce the documents and witnesses at the trial on the ground that as held by this Court in Malik Habibullah Khan v. Pakistan Cement Industries Limited and others 1969 S C M R 965, it was not "a case decided" and as such a revision was not competent. The learned counsel for the petitioner distinguishes the case mentioned above on the ground that in that case documents which had not been relied upon while filing the suit or when issues were framed, were not allowed to be produced. In the present case, the plaintiff petitioner specifically mentioned these documents and relied upon them when he filed the plaint and the issues have not so far been framed in the case though the suit itself was instituted in 1975. It is said that the trial Court was possessed of no jurisdiction to deny the plaintiff's right to produce such evidence as he had relied upon and mentioned at the time of the filing of the suit itself. It was not a case of producing any additional evidence. It was on the contrary a case of exercise of right of hearing, of producing such evidence as was lawfully and at the first opportunity relied upon. The facts of the case do call for an examination of the question whether in the circumstances it was not "a case decided" and whether the High Court was powerless to see the magnitude of the wrong done to the plaintiff petitioner and the principle violated. Leave to appeal is granted. Rs. 2,500 as security. No interim order meanwhile except that the judgment finally disposing of the case may not be passed while this petition is pending. The appeal to be heard on its present record, with liberty to the parties to file additional documents. Leave granted.
