| Decision |
The court addressed the constitutional petition filed by Muhammad Iqbal against the Central Board of Revenue. The petitioner argued that the correspondence from the Board was discriminatory and violated several articles of the Constitution. After reviewing the responses from the respondents, the court noted that the correspondence in question was merely internal communication and not an official order. The court indicated that if the respondents maintained their position that the correspondence had no binding effect, the petition could be disposed of accordingly. This highlights the importance of official notifications in administrative law and the need for clarity in communication from government bodies. |
