ResultAppeal dismissed

1. MUHAMMAD HALEEM, C.J.-- On the demise of Sh. Abdul Karim Advocate-on-Record, the appellants did not engage any Advocate-on---Record to represent them in the appeal, but filed an application stating "that the parties have amicably compromised outside the Court and there is nothing left for adjudication by this Court". And prayed ,that they may be permitted to withdraw the appeal.

2. By way of abundant caution we issued notice to them fog verification of the signatures on the application, but to our surprise today we noticed that they had engaged another Advocate-on- Record, who filed an application seeking to withdraw the earlier application on the ground that the respondents have resiled from the compromise.

3. After having taken the definite step, we regard the second attempt of the appellants as one to prolong the litigation which practice we highly deprecate. It goes without saying, that when the first application was filed to withdraw the appeal, the appellants with full responsibility had made the request to withdraw the appeal and that should be given the fullest effect.

4. Accordingly, while rejecting the application, we dismiss the appeal as withdrawn, but with no order as to costs. revisions by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the official sources or legal professionals for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
