Summary: Dismissed---The petitioner claimed that he had been appointed as a Messenger in the Pakistan National Shipping Corporation (PNSC), and was later promoted to the position of Senior Assistant. He argued that the PNSC, through a Board Resolution sent him and other employees on forced leave and subsequently terminated his service. He stated that he did not contest his case legally, but his colleagues had pursued legal action regarding similar issues. The petitioner referred to various legal proceedings, including a judgment, where his colleagues had approached the court regarding the same matter. This case was dismissed due to delays. He also mentioned that he was subsequently hired by Karachi Port Trust (KPT) as Moazzin-cum-Khadim on a fixed monthly stipend. The Respondent's counsel contended that the petitioner's case was suffering from laches (unreasonable delays) as he had waited for over 11 years to file the current petition. The petitioner's counsel maintained that the petitioner received his dues after being terminated but later decided to pursue legal action. The court considered the arguments and found that the petitioner had delayed filing the petition for over 11 years after receiving his dues and being terminated. Due to this lengthy delay, the court concluded that the petition suffered from laches and dismissed it on those grounds, without delving into the merits of the case.

Summary: In compliance with a court order, the Station House Officer (SHO) produced the minor along with his father, who admitted the child's age. The petitioner's counsel argued that the minor was taken from the mother immediately after birth, and she was compelled to live with her parents. The judge, considering the tender age of the child, the recent separation from lawful custody, and the urgency of the matter, cites precedents from the Supreme Court of Pakistan. The judge asserted that matters of custody of very young children can be brought before a High Court under section 491 Cr.P.C. The High Court may regulate interim custody, while the final custody determination falls under the jurisdiction of the Guardian Court. The court orders the immediate handover of custody of the minor, Ali Sher, to his mother. However, the father is granted the liberty to approach the Guardian Court for the regularization of custody. The petition was allowed in these terms.

Summary: Acquittal granted --- The judgment highlighted various aspects of the case that the court considered, including the registration of the case, ocular account and identification of the accused, extra-judicial and judicial confessions, recovery of a pistol, medical evidence, and motive. The court found several deficiencies in the prosecution's case, including issues related to the registration of the case, the credibility of the ocular account, problems with the extra-judicial and judicial confessions, and a lack of evidence supporting the motive. The court concluded that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. As a result, the court accepted Shamshad Ali's criminal appeal, setting aside the conviction and sentences imposed on him. The Murder Reference was also answered in the negative, indicating that the court did not confirm the death sentence. The appellant, was ordered to be immediately released unless involved in any other case.

Summary: The central issue revolved around the legality of the allotments, especially the alleged double allotment of the same land to different claimants. The Additional Settlement Commissioner declared Atta Muhammad's allotment as illegal but allowed subsequent vendees to purchase the land under their possession. The appellants, claiming to be bonafide purchasers, challenged the cancellation order, arguing that they had acquired the land legally. The court's decision emphasized the fraudulent nature of Atta Muhammad's allotment, citing the Chief Settlement Commissioner's findings and the fact that the entire claim of Atta Muhammad had been satisfied in 1953. The court also highlighted the illegalities in the subsequent allotment to Sultana Begum and others, pointing out discrepancies and fraudulent practices. The judgment maintained that the sale of the evacuee land to the appellants through private understanding is illegal and upholds the cancellation of Sultana Begum's allotment. Overall, the court's decision focused on ensuring the legality and transparency of evacuee land allotments, emphasizing the need for adherence to the law in the disposal of such properties.

Summary: The document outlined the brief facts of the case, including the petitioner's appointment, a period of absence due to health issues, the submission of medical leave applications, and the subsequent termination of services. The petitioner argued that the order is illegal, against the law and facts, and violates principles of natural justice. The submissions of both the petitioner and the respondents are presented, with the petitioner claiming that the order is illegal and without a proper hearing, while the respondents assert that the order was a result of the petitioner's continuous absence and is justified. The doctrine of pleasure is invoked by the respondents, stating that the post of Assistant Advocate-General is a pleasure post and can be terminated at any time without notice. The respondents also argued that the petitioner has no vested right, and the petition lacks merit. The text concluded with an analysis by the court, stating that the petitioner has no locus standi, and the doctrine of pleasure justifies the termination. The court dismissed the petition, stating that the petitioner failed to make a case for interference in constitutional jurisdiction.
