Representation
- 2. I directed my staff to verify the fact whether Mr. Muhammad Yaqoob Sheikh, Advocate is ill from Sessions Judge, Sialkot. The learned Sessions Judge, Sialkot has intimated that Mr. Muhammad Yaqoob Sheikh, Advocate is not suffering from any disease and is sitting in his office. I am constrained to observe that the petitioner has made a false statement before this Court. Taking a lenient view, I am riot minded to take action against the petitioner for making a false statement in the Court. Even otherwise the petitioner has not come to the Court with clean hands, I have no other alternative except to dispose of the petition for non-prosecution without touching upon its merits. In view of the dictum laid down in case Muhammad Ramzan v. Allah Ditta and others 1982 SCMR 215 as the learned counsel for the petitioner was fully aware of date fixed for its hearing but deliberately and without reasonable cause, absented today, therefore, the appeal is dismissed.
