The Supreme Court (SC) has rejected a plea by Watan Party Chief Barrister Zafarullah seeking revival of his already dismissed petition on construction of Kalabagh Dam.
A three-member SC bench headed by Justice Gulzar Ahmad on Friday remarked “your petition is time barred. Several days have elapsed; therefore, we cannot hear the petition filed after a delay of 97 days”.
Barrister Zafarullah prayed to the court that the case was dismissed by the court earlier due to non-pursuance, and that it should be restored now.
The court, however, said that the old petition could not be restored, but that the barrister was free to file a new one.
