Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD SADIQ VS MUHAMMAD HASSAN O.VII, R.11---Intellectual Property Organization of Pakistan Act (XXII of 2012), S.19---Rejection of plaint in summary manner---Scope---Recording of evidence---Requirement---The matter essentially concerned the maintainability of acopyright claim---The central issue in the present case was whether the suit filed by the appellant, seeking enforcement of exclusive ownership and copyright over a song and restraining the defendants from its unauthorized use, was liable to be rejected under O.VII, R.11, C.P.C.---Held: The impugned order was beyond the permissible scope of O.VII, R.11 of C.P.C. as set out in the case reported as PLD 2012 SC 247---Tribunal did not give any consideration to the scope of O.VII, R.11 of C.P.C. and embarked upon adjudicating disputed questions in a summary manner, without recording evidence---The "awareness" of the appellant and the alleged "concealment" could not conceivably be ground for rejection of plaint---Therefore, impugned order was set aside and matter was remanded back to the Tribunal for deciding the same on merits after recording of evidence---Appeal was allowed, in circumstances.
