GOVERNMENT OF KHYBER PAKHTUNKHWA VS LATIF ULLAH KHAN S. 115---Revisional jurisdiction of the High Court---Scope---Under S. 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, the supervisory jurisdiction of the High Court in a civil revision petition was purely discretionary and rather limited---However, such discretion must be exercised in a lawful and valid manner on the basis of well entrenched principles of the exercise of such discretion---High Court should not arbitrarily refuse to exercise its discretionary powers, rather, it must satisfy itself as to whether jurisdiction had been exercised properly and whether the proceedings of the subordinate Court suffered from any illegality or irregularity.
