GULSHAN BIBI and another----Petitioners

Versus

SADDAR DIN and others----Respondents

Constitutional Petition No.D-62 of 2023, decided on 23rd May, 2023.

Civil Procedure Code (V of 1908)---

----O. IX, R. 7---Limitation Act (IX of 1908), Art. 181---Constitution of Pakistan, Art. 10-A---Ex-parte order against the defendants---Failure to file written statement within time---Application under O.IX, R. 7, C.P.C., by the defendant filing of---Limitation---Right to fair trial---Defendants were proceeded ex-parte and debarred from filing their written statement by the Civil Court---Defendants filed an application under O. IX, R.7 of Civil Procedure Code, 1908, seeking to set aside ex-parte / debarring order---Said application was dismissed by the Civil Court and the Revisional Court maintained the dismissal order--- Grounds against the petitioners / defendants were that they failed to file their written statement within time prescribed by law and the very application for setting aside of ex-parte order was time barred---Validity---Admittedly, the suit was still pending before the Trial Court; the valuable rights of the petitioners were said to be involved in the subject litigation, therefore, in such a situation, it would be unjustified to dislodge them from the active contest on basis of technicalities, which obviously was against the mandate contained in Art. 10-A of the Constitution, which prescribed right to fair trial for everyone---If the petitioners were permitted to file written statement then it would not only meet the ends of justice but would help the Trial Court to arrive at the right conclusion---Even otherwise, no time had been prescribed either in Civil Procedure Code or Limitation Act, 1908 for setting aside of the ex-parte order, therefore, the same was to be governed by Art. 181 of Limitation Act, 1908, which prescribes period of three years for filing such application when the right to apply occurs---High Court set-aside the impugned order; consequently, the petitioners were permitted to file their written statement in the suit before the Trial Court within 30 days, after making payment of Rs.10,000/- to the plaintiff as costs---Constitutional petition was disposed of accordingly.

اہم نکات:

  1. یکطرفہ کارروائی کا حکم:
    مدعا علیہان کے خلاف غیر حاضری کی وجہ سے مقدمہ یکطرفہ طور پر چلایا گیا، اور انہیں تحریری جواب جمع کرانے سے محروم کر دیا گیا۔

  2. درخواست کا مسترد ہونا:

    • مدعا علیہان نے آرڈر IX، رول 7 سی پی سی کے تحت یکطرفہ حکم ختم کرنے کی درخواست دی۔
    • سول کورٹ اور نظرثانی عدالت نے درخواست مسترد کرتے ہوئے کہا کہ تحریری جواب وقت پر جمع نہیں ہوا اور درخواست وقت کی حد سے تجاوز کر چکی ہے۔

  3. آرٹیکل 10-A (آئین پاکستان):

    • عدالت نے فیصلہ دیا کہ تکنیکی بنیادوں پر مدعا علیہان کو مقدمے کے فعال مقابلے سے محروم کرنا آئین کے آرٹیکل 10-A (منصفانہ ٹرائل کے حق) کے خلاف ہوگا۔
    • مقدمے کے درست فیصلے کے لیے مدعا علیہان کو شامل کرنا ضروری ہے۔

  4. حدود کا اصول:

    • سی پی سی یا حدود ایکٹ میں یکطرفہ حکم ختم کرنے کے لیے کوئی خاص مدت مقرر نہیں۔
    • آرٹیکل 181 کے تحت، تین سال کی مدت لاگو ہوتی ہے، جو درخواست کے حق کے پیدا ہونے کے وقت سے شروع ہوتی ہے۔

  5. عدالتی فیصلہ:

    • ہائی کورٹ نے سول کورٹ اور نظرثانی عدالت کے فیصلوں کو کالعدم قرار دیا۔
    • مدعا علیہان کو 30 دن کے اندر تحریری جواب جمع کرانے کی اجازت دی، بشرطیکہ وہ مدعی کو 10,000 روپے بطور جرمانہ ادا کریں۔

  6. قانونی حوالہ:

    • Wali Muhammad v. Hakeem Muhammad Khan and others 1993 MLD 1101۔

یہ نکات منصفانہ ٹرائل کے اصول اور تکنیکی پیچیدگیوں کے خلاف عدالتی تحفظ کو نمایاں کرتے ہیں۔
