Judgment text as reported

Syed AAKIF ALI SHAH VS MUHAMMAD IJAZ High Court observed that technicality was a ploy to stultify course of justice as its use did not unredeemed the wrong and the right was left unenforced---While observance of rules of procedure was fundamental to course of litigation, however, Courts must also be aware that too rigid adherence to such rules in certain circumstances may inappropriately and unjustly deprive a party of his/her rights---Fact cannot be ignored that counsel/lawyers sometimes do make mistakes while conducting their cases, which ordinarily attracted sanctions or penalties, however in trying to give life to substantial justice, some mistakes or errors which, if not fraudulent or intended to overreach, may be overlooked in order not to allow strict compliance to suffocate the process of delivery of justice---Judges must not act as judicial technicians and courts ought not to present themselves as workshops of technical justice and must endeavor to grant reasonable opportunity all parties in a litigation to put up their respective best cases.
