description: "Most outlets reported the Supreme Court's ruling that a banking court cannot award markup to a bank if it was not explicitly claimed in the original plaint. Dawn and Profit both highlighted the court's decision to set aside a February 2019 Lahore High Court judgement and a banking court order in favor of Citibank. Profit also noted the court's reasoning that Section 152 of the Civil Procedure Code cannot be used to alter substantive rights or grant relief not sought in the plaint, while Dawn's excerpt ended before this detail."
