' Briefly stated the facts of the case, out of which, the present appeal arises are that the appellant filed a Writ Petition No,8542 of 2001. During the pendency of the appeal, the appellant wanted to withdraw the appeal, which was not allowed by the learned Single Judge, vide impugned order dated 24-5-2001.
2. The learned counsel for the appellant submits that the appellant filed a writ petition against the respondents that the respondents had been harassing the appellant. The learned Single Judge, directed the same very respondents to arrest the appellant and produce before the Court on 14-6- 2001.
3. We have considered the contentions of the learned counsel for the appellant and perused the record ourselves. The learned Single Judge, directed the counsel for the appellant to produce the appellant before the Court. The learned counsel for the appellant failed to produce the appellant before the Court as directed by the learned Single Judge and wanted to withdraw the writ petition.
Meaning thereby, circumvented the order of the learned Single Judge. The appellant has challenged the vires of the interim order dated 24-5-2001 through this appeal. It is settled principle of law that intra-Court appeal is not maintainable against an interim order, by virtue of the provisions of Law Reforms Ordinance, 1972 as laid down by the superior Courts. In arriving to this conclusion, we are fortified by the following judgment:-- 'Ghaffar Hussain v. The District Magistrate 1996 SCM R 1209).
' Even otherwise, the impugned order is in accordance with law laid down in the following judgments:-- ' Messrs Muhammad Safdar & Company through Muhammad Safdar, Sole Proprietor of the Company, Okara v. Province of the Punjab through Secretary, Local Government of the Punjab, Lahore and 4 others (PLD 1996 Lahore 22).
' Javed Iqbal Abbasi & Company v. Province of the Punjab and 6 others (1996 SCMR 1433).
' In view of what has been discussed above, this appeal has no merits. The same is hereby dismissed.
