The Supreme Court of Pakistan ruled that the petitioner, AZIZULLAH KHAN, lacked locus standi to invoke writ jurisdiction against the installation of a petrol/diesel pump. The Court agreed with the High Court's findings. However, the petitioner was allowed to raise the matter before appropriate government authorities if an adverse order was issued. The petition was subsequently dismissed. |
| Summary |
In the case of Civil Petition for Leave to Appeal No.127-P of 1988, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed the issue of locus standi under Article 185(3) of the Constitution of Pakistan, 1973. The petitioner, AZIZULLAH KHAN, challenged the installation of a petrol/diesel pump, but the Court upheld the High Court's decision that he did not have the standing to invoke writ jurisdiction. This ruling highlights the importance of locus standi in legal proceedings and the necessity for petitioners to demonstrate a direct interest in the matter at hand. The Court's decision allows for further recourse to appropriate authorities should there be an adverse order impacting the petitioner, emphasizing the procedural avenues available in administrative law cases. Overall, this case serves as a critical reference point in understanding the application of locus standi in Pakistan's legal framework. |
