| Decision |
The Balochistan High Court accepted the constitutional petition, determining that the procurement process for the installation of bore for agriculture in Ziarat was not conducted in accordance with the guidelines set by the Planning Commission of Pakistan or the criteria established by the Provincial Cabinet. The court found that the authorities failed to follow due process, including the identification of beneficiaries and sites prior to the bidding process. Consequently, the court set aside the impugned procurement process and directed the relevant authorities to comply with legal guidelines in future procurement activities. |
