A division bench made up of Justices Mohammad Sajid Mehmood Sethi and Jawad Hassan decided a case regarding Mohammad Waseem’s recovery of Rs70 million, setting a precedent in the law.
The money was requested by the private business Maple Leaf Cement, which claimed that Mr. Waseem’s misappropriation had resulted in a Rs79 million loss. After a settlement, Mr. Waseem was had to write out a Rs. 70 million check. But because there weren’t enough cash, the check bounced, and a lawsuit was brought against him.
In accordance with Order XXXVII of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) of 1908, which addresses the recovery of debt or liquidated amount, the trial court granted the company’s request for the amount.
