Title Petition/memo
Details

When a petition/memo is filed in the wrong jurisdiction or forum–
It is common practice to allow a party to file a petition/memo in the proper form when it is observed that the said memo/petition was filed in the incorrect form. In other words where instead of filing an appeal a revision was filed, direction would be given to either convert the revision into an appeal or to file the appeal afresh. In such circumstances, usually the time consumed in proceeding under the wrong jurisdiction or forum is directed to be deducted. Equally when a memo/appeal is filed instead of petition for revision the Court may direct that the appeal be treated as revision. …Kutub Uddin =VS= Syed Moinuddin Ahmed, (Civil), 2019 (2) [7 LM (AD) 31] ....View Full Judgment
