Judgment text as reported

Syed AAKIF ALI SHAH VS MUHAMMAD IJAZ O.XVII, R. 3 & O. I, R. 10---adjudication and exercise of power by court under O. XVII, R. 3, C.P.C.---Dismissal of suit under O. XVII, R. 3, C.P.C.---Scope---Question before High Court was whether upon failure of plaintiff to amend plaint in terms of O. I, R. 10, C.P.C.; could the court dismiss suit under O. XVII, R. 3, C.P.C., on the ground that such amendment was necessary for progress of suit and failure to amend plaint entitled court to dismiss suit under said provision---Held, that failure to amend plaint and to pay costs of adjournment did not justify dismissal of suit under O. XVII, R. 3, C.P.C.---Words "decide the suit" used in O. XVII, C.P.C., could not be taken as tantamount to dismissing the suit for default and meant that court under O. XVII, R. 3, C.P.C., could only decide suit on merits on material available before it.
