Justice (r) Yasmin Abbasey has written to the Chief Justice of Pakistan Tasadduq Hussain Jillani for early hearing of review petition No 49/2014 in C.M. No 2779/2009 in C.R.P No Nil/2009 in Const P No 09/2009.
The applicant submitted that on March 20, 2014 petitioner filed a review petition against judgments dated May 18, 2009 and October 13, 2009.
She stated that certain objections were raised by institution officer as to entertain-ability of review petition. Against those objections appeal was filed by petitioner on March 24, 2014.
As the matter pertaining to fundamental rights of petitioner was being delayed, therefore on April 17, 2014 an application for early hearing of case was filed, but that too till now has not been entertained, though the petitions filed later to it have not only been admitted but are fixed for regular hearing.
The applicant requested that this case be also taken up in the same manner in line with the principle of consistency since it is a matter of great public importance and any further delay in disposal of it is likely to affect the fundamental rights of petitioner and will also seriously undermine the independence of judiciary in the country.
