Division Bench

Except where it has been provided either by law or by rules or by a special order, it is an exclusive prerogative of Chief Justice that all cases have to be heard and disposed of by a Judge sitting alone/Single Bench

Word 'a case' includes a motion application, petition, reference, suit, appeal, revision or other proceedings to be heard and disposed of by High Court under any law in exercise of its extra ordinary, original or appellate jurisdiction

Unless Division Bench of High Court passes an order in terms of S.422, Cr.P.C. read with R. 2 of Chapter 3 of Part-B of Volume V of High Court (Lahore) Rules and Orders, by issuing notice to acquitted accused, mere filing of appeal against acquittal has no bearing upon maintainability of such appeal or application seeking suspension of sentence, before Single Bench of High Court.
