Foreign verdicts must be weighed against domestic standards: IHC
The ruling came in a case filed by two Pakistani businessmen, Latif Hakeem and another, through their counsel Kashif Ali Malik, against the execution of a money decree obtained by a technology company from Dubai Court of First Instance in October 2021. The decree was subsequently upheld by the Dubai Court of Appeal in June 2022, and affirmed by the Dubai Court of Cassation in October 2022. The high court set aside the July 2025 order of a local executing court, which had allowed the enforcement of the Dubai decree, while dismissing the execution petition filed under Section 44-A of the Code of Civil Procedure.
