| Decision |
The Lahore High Court disposed of the petition, emphasizing that the Constitution is designed to protect legal and fundamental rights, and that the court can only intervene when no legal remedy is available for the aggrieved party. The court noted that it should not be approached immediately after the registration of an FIR, as remedies must first be exhausted. The petitioner was directed to engage with the S.P. Investigation to resolve the issue, ensuring fair play in addressing grievances at a statutory level. |
| Summary |
In the case of W.P. No. 1556 of 2006, the Lahore High Court addressed the powers conferred under Articles 184(3) and 199(5) of the Constitution of Pakistan, 1973. The court highlighted the importance of legal and fundamental rights and the conditions under which the High Court can intervene. It stressed that petitioners must first exhaust available legal remedies before approaching the High Court, particularly in criminal matters.
