Mian Hikmatullah Jan v. Chairman and Members of Selection Board Constituted for Selection and Interview for the Post of AD&SJ, Peshawar & another
Summary: The case revolved around the petitioner's application for the post of Additional and District Sessions Judges. The petitioner claimed to have qualified the written examination but was disqualified due to his name being struck off from the Roll of Advocates by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provincial Bar Council. The High Court had sent his documents to the bar council for verification. The petitioner filed a writ petition in the High Court seeking permission to appear for the interview and be considered for the post on merit. However, the High Court dismissed the writ petition through the impugned judgment.The petitioner's counsel contended that the petitioner's license had been suspended by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bar Council, not disqualified, and that the High Court was unjustified in verifying his Wakalat Namas (powers of attorney).The Supreme Court examined the arguments presented by the petitioner's counsel. It observed that the petitioner's name was indeed struck off from the Roll of Advocates, as evidenced by a letter from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bar Council dated August 24, 2013. The court pointed out that being struck off from the advocates' roll indicated that the petitioner was no longer a practicing advocate under the Legal Practitioners and Bar Councils Act, 1973.The court emphasized that the advertisement for the post of Additional District and Sessions Judges specifically required candidates to be practicing advocates, a condition the petitioner did not fulfill. The court also highlighted that the petitioner was not a practicing advocate when he applied for the position.The court concluded that there was no illegality in the High Court's judgment and dismissed the petition. It was determined that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bar Council should handle any matters related to the petitioner's status as a practicing advocate. The court ordered a copy of the judgment to be sent to the Vice-Chairman of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bar Council for appropriate action.

Muhammad Ayub etc Vs Salim etc
Summary: As stated above, no decree for declaration could be granted to the plaintiff on the basis of this unregistered deed, however, his suit in the circumstances, when he has paid the sale consideration of the entire property and the vendor admits the said sale, he could not be denied the equitable relief of specific performance of this agreement provided his suit is within the period of limitation. Order-VII Rule-7 of the CPC empowers the Court to grant such relief on the conclusion of the trial as it may think just to the same extent as if it had been asked for but the Court of equities while administering civil justice have never remained mistresses of rules and procedure.
