Judgment text as reported

FACT FINDERS (PVT.) LTD. VS CNBC PAKISTAN O.VII, Rr.10(1) & 11---Defamation Ordinance (LVI of 2002), Preamble---"Return" and "rejection" of plaint---Distinction---Suit for defamation---Held, that "Return" was different from rejection---Return of plaint did not connote that the plaint had mistakes or that the rules for drafting the plaint were not conformed to, it simply meant that the court was not empowered to try the suit for which the plaint was filed---Under O.VII, R.10(1) of C.P.C., a plaint was returned on the sole ground of lack of jurisdiction with the concerned court---Defamation Ordinance, 2002 does not debar the plaintiff to file the suit for defamation before the Civil Court and the Defamation Ordinance, 2002 has not any overriding effect qua the jurisdiction of the ordinary civil court which had been provided by the legislature, therefore, the suit of the appellant was not returnable under O.VII, R.10, C.P.C.
