Section:

Constitution of Pakistan (1973) ----Art. 185 (3) Leave to Appeal to Supreme Court Question whether petitioner's suit had been fixed for hearing or not Question of fact not determinable without record No documents before Supreme Court to support petitioner's argument Plea of date in suit being not a date for hearing not taken by petitioner in trial Court and first appellate Court Held, petitioner cannot be permitted to press petition for special leave on question not raised in two Courts below.
