Tropical Herbs (Pvt)Ltd., and Two Others v. Link Natural Products(Pvt)Ltd.(Case No. 02) – sllr 2001 volume 3 page 223

In the case between Link Natural Products (Pvt) Ltd (Plaintiff–Respondent) and Tropical Herbs (Pvt) Ltd. and others (Defendants–Petitioners), the court considered the validity of an ex parte enjoining order issued against a company registered under the Board of Investment (BOI) Law. The central issue was whether the District Court’s issuance of the enjoining order complied with section 27A of the BOI Law, which requires notice and a hearing for the affected party. The court found that the failure to provide notice and a hearing contravened statutory requirements and principles of natural justice, specifically Audi Alteram Partem. As a consequence, the enjoining order was held invalid and set aside. The ruling reasserted the necessity for strict adherence to statutory procedural safeguards
