  Summary & questions settled

  This constitutional petition was filed pro bono publico by the President of the Pakistan Motors Transport Federation challenging a land mutation gifted to the Municipal Committee, Narowal, on grounds of financial impropriety and lack of title. The petitioners also contested the vacation of a stay order by the Commissioner under the Punjab Local Government Ordinance. The Lahore High Court dismissed the petition, holding that the petitioners did not qualify as 'aggrieved persons' under Article 199 of the Constitution of Pakistan 1973, as they lacked direct personal interest in the matter. The Court laid down the principle that a delegator does not divest itself of statutory powers by delegating them; the Provincial Government retains the authority to act if its delegate's conduct is unsatisfactory. Furthermore, the Court ruled that the validity of a mutation is generally not examined in constitutional jurisdiction, for which the civil courts remain the appropriate forum, and that contempt of court is strictly a matter between the Court and the contemner.

  Questions settled

  • Does a delegator divest itself of statutory powers by delegating them to a delegatee?
  • Does a petitioner acting pro bono publico without direct personal interest qualify as an 'aggrieved person' under Article 199 of the Constitution of Pakistan 1973?
  • Can the validity of a land mutation be properly examined under the constitutional jurisdiction of the High Court?
  • Can a third party who was not a party to the original proceedings demand contempt of court proceedings as a matter of right?
