Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court does not possess revisional jurisdiction under Section 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure over orders made by the District Court under the same section. The Court clarified that the bifurcation of revisional jurisdiction between the High Court and District Court was intended to decentralize the workload of revision petitions. The amendments to Section 115 and Section 25 of the Provincial Small Cause Courts Act were discussed, emphasizing that the High Court's jurisdiction is limited and does not extend to revising District Court orders in this context.
