Judgment text as reported

INDUS MOTORS COMPANY LIMITED VS GOVERNMENT OF BALOCHISTAN, FINANCE DEPARTMENT Retrospective effect of legislation---Scope---Statute, which is procedural in nature, can operate retrospectively unless it affects an existing right on the date of promulgation or causes injustice or prejudice to a substantive right---If it is of such a character that will tend to promote justice without any consequential embarrassment or detriment to any of the parties concerned, the Courts would favourably incline towards giving effect to such procedural statutes retrospectively---If existing rights are affected or the giving of retrospective operation causes inconvenience or injustice, then the Courts will not even in the case of procedural statute favour an interpretation giving retrospective effect to the statute.
