2814/2021 Suit REHAN HAMID (Plaintiff) V/S FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN & OTHERS (Defendant)
Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Chief Justice Mr. Justice Muhammad Shafi Siddiqui(Author)
Order Date: 26-OCT-22
Plaint Returned under Order VII Rule 10 CPC. ---The only defence taken by the learned counsel for the plaintiff is that when he landed at Karachi Airport he came to know about impugned notification dated 26.11.2021, therefore, the cause accrued within the territorial limit of this Court. I am afraid this kind of logic is not tenable in law. The cause of action was accrued when and from where the impugned notification was issued and also at place where in pursuance of such agreement he works or worked for gain, and not where he on his arrival or departure informed or where it was brought to his knowledge. Furthermore, the plaintiff was appointed with defendant at Hyderabad and throughout he was employed there, therefore, if this plea is taken to be lawful it will make entire scheme of jurisdiction as redundant and such was not the intention of legislation.Full judgment text for this case is not yet available on Pakistan Law Reports.
