| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the appeal, confirming that the Peshawar High Court did not have jurisdiction over the matter concerning the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, specifically Kurram Agency. The court found that the disputes arose in a tribal area, and previous judgments indicated that the jurisdiction of the High Court did not extend to these areas. The appeal was dismissed with no order as to costs. |
| Summary |
In the case of Civil Appeal No. 3 of 1983, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed important jurisdictional issues regarding the Peshawar High Court's authority over the Federally Administered Tribal Areas. The dispute arose from violent incidents between two tribes, the Bangashes and the Turi, related to land disputes in Kurram Agency. The court reaffirmed previous judgments that excluded the jurisdiction of the High Court in tribal areas, emphasizing that the Constitution and relevant laws did not confer such authority. This case highlights the complexities of legal jurisdiction in tribal regions of Pakistan and the importance of understanding the historical context of legal frameworks governing these areas. Keywords such as 'jurisdiction', 'tribal areas', 'Peshawar High Court', and 'Supreme Court of Pakistan' are crucial for legal professionals and scholars studying the implications of this case. |
