Decision The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the petition, affirming that the petitioner could not challenge the decision in the connected case without proper leave. The court held that allowing such a challenge would undermine procedural integrity and lead to indirect review of a decision that was not properly before them. The court emphasized that the petitioner's claims regarding the legality of the lease and the actions taken by the Project Manager were not substantiated to merit a reversal of the High Court's judgment. The decision reinforced the importance of adhering to established legal procedures in matters of appeal and review.
