ORDER

1. NASIM HASAN SHAH, J.--The question raised in this petition is whether the statement, made by the counsel of a party while appearing in connection with an interlocutory matter, where under the entire suit was liable to be disposed of, could bind the said party?

2. The High Court has, after carefully examining all the circumstances of this case and relying on two reported judgments of the Lahore High Court, held that the counsel could competently have made the statement in question and the party represented by the said counsel will be bound by his statement.

3. The above view is disputed before us through this petition for leave to appeal.

4. After having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record we see no reason to differ with the view expressed by the High Court in the facts and circumstances of this case.

5. This petition is dismissed.
