- Decided
- Disposal
- DISMISSED
Holding
The arbitration application is dismissed for non‑prosecution and the interim applications are disposed.
Summary
Rashid Bakshish Qureshi filed an arbitration application (No. 169 of 2022) against Matloob Abdul Gafoor Qureshi and sixteen other respondents. No counsel or party appeared on behalf of the applicant at the hearing. The court was required to consider whether the arbitration application and the accompanying interim applications should proceed. Observing the applicant's non‑appearance, the court held that the application could not be pursued and dismissed it for non‑prosecution. Consequently, the interim applications were also found to have no basis to continue and were disposed of. The judgment therefore results in the dismissal of the main arbitration petition and the disposal of all interim relief sought.
Issues considered
- Whether the arbitration application should be dismissed for non‑prosecution due to the applicant's non‑appearance
- Whether the interim applications filed in the same matter should be disposed of
Subjects
