Judgment text as reported

IRFAN AZAM VS Mst. RABIA RAFIQUE O. XXVI, R. 6---Review petition before the Supreme Court---Substitution of a counsel at review stage---Scope---In the present case, neither were there any compelling circumstances to change the counsel nor the circumstances were unavoidable, as the previous counsel was also available---In the certificate given by the first/previous counsel the ground taken by him that the party had lost confidence in him and they wanted to change him was hardly a ground to allow the substitution of a counsel at the review stage---If permission was liberally granted, it would not only be against Rule 6 of Order XXVI of the Supreme Court Rules, 1980 ('the 1980 Rules'), but would make the said Rule redundant and would further lead to endless litigation---Application under R. 6 of O. XXVI of the 1980 Rules, was dismissed.
