| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the petition for leave to appeal, asserting that the High Court had already made an authoritative pronouncement regarding the grant of route permits in the case of Malik Niaz Muhammad. The petitioner's claims regarding the cancellation of the route permit were found to be without merit, as the respondent was already operating the bus service in accordance with the authorities' satisfaction. The Supreme Court concluded that there was no further legal question requiring examination, thus the leave to appeal was refused. |
| Summary |
In the case of Civil Petition for Leave to Appeal No. 16-Q of 1989, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed a dispute concerning route permits under the West Pakistan Motor Vehicles Ordinance. The case arose from the cancellation of a route permit of a transporter, Sorab Khan, who contested the decision made by the Balochistan High Court. The court found that the earlier ruling in Malik Niaz Muhammad v. Provincial Transport Authority, which clarified the legal framework surrounding route permits, rendered further examination unnecessary. The Supreme Court emphasized that the respondent was operating within the legal parameters established by the authorities. This case highlights the importance of adhering to regulatory frameworks governing transportation and the significance of authoritative judicial pronouncements in resolving disputes. It serves as a critical reference for transport law and administrative procedures regarding route permits in Pakistan. |
