Javed Iqbal, J.--The criminal petition for leave to appeal was argued by Dr. Muhammad Akmal Saleemi, learned ASC which was dismissed vide judgment impugned, review whereof has been sought by way of this review petition.
2. Mr. M. Rafiq Warraich, learned ASC appeared and submitted that he may be allowed to argue the matter in a absence of Dr. Muhammad Akmal Saleemi, learned ASC. It is worth mentioning that on the previous date of hearing no such request was made by Mr. M. Rafiq Warraich, learned ASC who was holding brief for Dr. Muhammad Akmal Saleemi, learned ASC and matter was adjourned. It is an admitted feature of the case that Mr. M. Rafiq Warraich had not argued the criminal petition for leave to appeal and cannot be allowed to argue the matter on behalf of Dr. Muhammad Akmal Saleemi, learned ASC without sufficient lawful justification which is badly lacking in this case. It is against the practice of this Court to relax the provisions of Order XXVI, Rule 6 of the Supreme Court Rules, 1980 and therefore, Mr. M. Rafiq Warraich, learned ASC cannot be allowed to argue the matter as he cannot appear in the review petition as of right which could only be done with the permission of the Court which cannot be granted in absence of exceptional circumstances.
The review petition is accordingly dismissed. 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.
