The Lahore High Court upheld the decision to combine the Appellate Court caucuses while dismissing the civil revision, declaring that the parties and the matter of the cases are one and the same.

اس کیس کا خلاصہ یہ ہے کہ رزا سی این جی اسٹیشن کے قانونی ورثاء نے سوئی نادرن گیس پائپ لائنز لمیٹڈ (SNGPL) کے خلاف مقدمہ دائر کیا تھا، جبکہ SNGPL نے بھی انہی کے خلاف ایک الگ مقدمہ دائر کیا تھا۔ دونوں مقدمات میں سی این جی اسٹیشن سے متعلق گیس کی فراہمی، بقایاجات اور کٹوتیوں کے بلوں پر تنازع تھا۔

SNGPL نے درخواست دی کہ دونوں مقدمات کو یکجا کیا جائے کیونکہ فریقین اور موضوعات ایک جیسے ہیں، اور اس طرح مختلف فیصلوں سے بچا جا سکے گا۔ عدالت نے یہ درخواست منظور کر لی اور مقدمات کو یکجا کر دیا۔

پٹیشنرز نے اس فیصلے کو چیلنج کیا، لیکن عدالت نے کہا کہ مقدمات کو یکجا کرنے میں کوئی قانونی یا حقائق کی خامی نہیں ہے۔ اس لیے عدالت نے درخواست کو مسترد کر دیا اور دونوں مقدمات کو یکجا کرنے کا حکم برقرار رکھا۔

Mian Muhammad Ayub, Advocate for Petitioners.

Date of hearing: 20.12.2023.

Or d e r

Brief facts of this civil revision as mentioned in the petition are that

respondents/SNGPL filed an application for consolidation of suit titled Sui

Northern Gas Pipelines Ltd vs. Mis Raza CNG Station etc. with other suit

titled Raza CNG Station through Legal Heirs vs. Managing Director, Sui

Northern Gas Pipelines Ltd Lahore etc. On the ground that parties to both

suits are same and the application was contested by the present petitioners.

After hearing the parties, learned Addl. District Judge Sarai Alamgir accepted

the application for consolidation of cases vide impugned order dated

02.12.2023. Feeling aggrieved, the petitioners have filed the instant Revision

Petition and challenged the validity of the said order.

2. I have heard the arguments advanced by the learned counsel for

the petitioners and perused the record as well as the impugned order.

3. Perusal of record reveals that petitioners filed suit for declaration

and permanent injunction titled Raza CNG Station through Legal Heirs vs.

Managing Director, Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Ltd. Lahore etc. with the

prayer that meter inspection report be declared as illegal arbitrary and

inconsistent with the law as well as against three deduction bills issued by

respondents/ SNGPL while respondents/SNGPL filed suit for recovery of an

amount of outstanding arrears alongwith interest etc. Sui Northern Gas

Pipelines Ltd. vs. M/s. Raza CNG Station etc. After perusing record with the

assistance of learned counsel for the petitioners there remains no doubt that

both the suits have been filed about the same CNG station from where gas is

being supplied through the same Consumer No. 77487530006 and the subject

matter of both the suits are same with regard to deduction bills and the

dispute about outstanding arrears hence in order to avoid multiplicity of

litigation, which may result into conflicting judgments, learned trial Court

has consolidated both the suits by accepting the application of SNGPL/

respondents.

4. No infirmity, legal or factual, has been pointed out in the

impugned order passed by the learned trial Court, therefore, this civil revision

is dismissed in limine.
