Abdul Kareem Nasheer vs. The Hon. Attorney General – CA//PHC/APN/0127/2022-2024

In the case between the Hon. Attorney General’s Department (on behalf of the State) and Abdul Kareem Nasheer (1st Accused-Petitioner), the court addressed issues relating to the regularity of trial procedures under Section 241 of the CPC, the sufficiency and admissibility of the evidence, and the validity of the revision application in view of significant delay and the accused’s contumacious conduct. It was held that no irregularity or procedural flaw sufficient to warrant revision was established and that delays and unauthorized absence from court undermined the grounds for seeking discretionary revisionary relief. The principle reaffirmed is that discretionary power of revision is not invoked when a party exhibits contumacious conduct and fails to demonstrate exceptional circumstances. T
