Law:

Section:

(a) Appeal---- ---- Right of appeal was a substantive right which had to be conferred in express terms by an express enactment. Hassan Bakhsh v. Settlement Commissioner, Rawalpindi and others PLD 1970 SC 1 and Muzaffar Ali v. Muhammad Shafi PLD 1981 SC 94 ref. (b) Appeal---- ----Right of appeal does not exist merely on the theory that an appeal is regarded as continuation of trial but has to be created and granted by a Statute.

Commissioner of Income-tax, Peshawar v. Messrs Siemen A.G. PLD 1991 SC 368 fol. (d) Islamic Jurisprudence----- ---- Appeal---Barring a right of appeal offends against Injunctions of Islam. PLD 1989 SC 6 and PLD 1988 SC 2002 ref. (e) Income Tax Ordinance (XXXI of 1979)----- ----S.129(1)---Appeal---Right of appeal conferred by S.129(1), Income Tax Ordinance, 1979 is substantive right and further it is in consonance with Islamic Injunctions and its absence in the Statute or its taking away by any legislative exercise would be repugnant to the Injunctions of Islam.
