| Decision |
The Supreme Court reviewed the case concerning the constitution of a larger bench to address review petitions. Justice Oazi Faez Isa expressed dissent regarding the decision to form a larger bench, arguing that it was unnecessary and contrary to established rules which dictate that review applications should be heard by the same bench that issued the original judgment. The court ultimately ruled on the merits of several review petitions and dismissed them based on procedural grounds, highlighting the importance of adhering to existing legal frameworks and practices. The decision emphasized that the review jurisdiction should not be used to expand the scope of the original case unnecessarily. |
| Summary |
In the case of CRP Nos. 561/2015, the Supreme Court of Pakistan deliberated on the constitution of a larger bench to hear review petitions stemming from an earlier unanimous judgment regarding wildlife conservation laws, particularly concerning the Houbara Bustard. Justice Oazi Faez Isa, in his dissent, criticized the majority for not adhering to Rule 8 of Order XXVI of the Supreme Court Rules, which mandates that review petitions be heard by the same bench that issued the original judgment, unless compelling reasons justify otherwise. The justice pointed out that the majority's decision to form a larger bench lacked sufficient justification and deviated from the court's established practices. The court ultimately dismissed the review petitions on procedural grounds, reinforcing the necessity of compliance with legal standards and the significance of maintaining the integrity of the judicial process. Keywords include Supreme Court, wildlife conservation, legal review, procedural compliance, and judicial integrity. |
