Additionally, the court referenced several precedents to support its conclusions, underscoring the principles of constitutional jurisdiction and the necessity of good faith in legal proceedings. |
| Summary |
In the case of Khalid Bashir Bhatti vs. Pakistan Sports Board, the Lahore High Court addressed significant issues related to constitutional jurisdiction under Article 199 of the Constitution of Pakistan. The petitioner challenged the establishment of an Ad hoc Committee by the Pakistan Sports Board, claiming that it had been constituted without following the requisite procedures outlined in the Sports (Development and Control) Ordinance and Pakistan Sports Board Rules. The court emphasized the principles of waiver and estoppel, noting that the petitioner had participated in elections conducted by the disputed committee, which led to the dismissal of the petition. This case underscores the importance of timely objections in legal proceedings and the implications of acquiescence in administrative actions. The decision also reflects the court's commitment to ensuring that procedural norms are upheld within the realms of sports governance and administrative law. |
