Considering the aforementioned facts and circumstances, without touching the merits of the case, we find no justification to entertain this petition in 2025. It is significantly barred by laches, as the cause of action arose in 2011 with the impugned order dated 1.07.2011, yet the petitioner filed this petition in 2020, a delay of approximately nine years. Furthermore, no compelling reason to exercise our discretionary powers has been presented. Consequently, the Petition, being ill-conceived and barred by laches. This petition is dismissed because the Supreme Court of Pakistan has already dismissed an identical case through its judgment/order dated October 28, 2022, in CRP.No:510-K/2022 within Civil Petition No.1717-K of 2022.
