ABDUL BAQI VS Haji KHAN MUHAMMAD art. 185(3)---Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court under article 185(3) of the Constitution---Principles and scope---Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court under article 185(3) of the Constitution to grant leave to appeal against any judgment, decree, order or sentence of a High Court is not circumscribed by any limitation by the Constitution---Principles governing the exercise of jurisdiction under article 185(3) are of self-restraint, settled by the Court itself, keeping in view the considerations of propriety and practice---Supreme Court thus ordinarily exercises its jurisdiction under article 185(3) of the Constitution, and grants the leave to appeal, in cases where some serious question of law is prima facie made out or some case of grave miscarriage of justice is established either by reason of the fact that the findings sought to be impugned could not have been arrived at by any reasonable person or that the findings are so ridiculous, shocking or improbable that to uphold such a finding would amount to a travesty of justice.
