182/2019 H.C.A Zeeshan Alvi (Appellant) V/S Muhammad Ishrat (Respondent)
Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan Iqbal Chaudhry, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Abdul Mobeen Lakho(Author)
Order Date: 22-NOV-24
Section 5(3) of the Contempt of Court Ordinance, 2003 also states that ???In the case of a contempt having been committed, or alleged to have been committed, by a company, the responsibility thereof shall extend to the persons in the company, directly or indirectly, responsible for the same, who shall also be liable to be punished accordingly.??? Therefore, in our view, before the matter could be fixed for framing charge, there had to be some discussion as to which of the alleged contemnors was prima facie responsible. It is the case of some of the Appellants that they were posted to SITE for brief periods and could not be held responsible for acts committed before or after their posting, which aspect has not been considered in the impugned order.Full judgment text for this case is not yet available on Pakistan Law Reports.
