Report on behalf of Shehri-Citizens v. Federation of Pakistan & others

Citation: 2022 SCP 10, 2022 SCMR 253

Case No: Report128-K/2021

Judgment Date: 11/01/2022

Jurisdiction: Supreme Court of Pakistan

Judge: Mr. Justice Gulzar Ahmed

Summary: Compliance report(s)----The Supreme Court of Pakistan, in its report, discussed the matter regarding the allocation of land known as Gutter Baghicha, measuring 1016 acres, situated in Karachi, which was originally designated as a park for the city. The land was under the ownership of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) and meant to be used for public amenities, including a park. Over time, unauthorized occupants, including informal settlements, industries, and graveyards, began to occupy parts of this land.The court addressed the case involving the allocation of 200 acres of this land to the KMC Officers' Co-operative Housing Society Limited (referred to as the Society). The court's proceedings involved hearing arguments from various parties, including legal advisors, representatives of the Society, and concerned citizens.The court observed that the land of Gutter Baghicha was meant for public amenity purposes, specifically a park, and that KMC had a legal obligation to ensure its preservation and prevent encroachments. The court noted that KMC's allocation of the land to the Society was problematic, as it was intended for housing purposes for KMC employees and commercial use, which did not fall within the scope of permissible purposes for the land.The court scrutinized the relevant legal provisions, including Section 45(5)(i) of the Sindh Local Government Ordinance, 1979, which addresses the grant of land for specific purposes like educational, religious, and charitable institutions, for the benefit of the public. The court emphasized that the provision did not permit the allocation of the land to KMC employees for housing and commercial purposes.The court found that the allocation of land to the Society was unlawful and declared it void ab initio. It also ordered the resumption of the land by KMC for its original intended use as a park. The court further directed the Administrator of KMC to report back to the court within two weeks to confirm compliance with the court's order.In conclusion, the Supreme Court of Pakistan declared the allocation of land to the Society for housing and commercial purposes to be illegal and ordered the resumption of the land for its intended purpose as a park.

Summary: [Sale Tax Act 1990 (Section 2), Sindh Sales Tax on Services Act, 2011] There is no space ofinterpretation provided by petitioners in relation of Foreign ExchangeManual read with Section 154 of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. Similarly,there is no applicability of extra territorial operation for giving effect toArticle 141 of the Constitution. Hence we conclude accordingly.

The legislative powers defined under Articles141, 142 and143 of the Constitution have not been violated while encompassingservices rendered by indenters to be within the frame of SSTA 2011 andfind its place within exclusion defined in Entry 49 of Federal LegislativeList of Fourth Schedule of Constitution.

Zeeshan Shaikh v. Federation of Pakistan & others

Citation: 2022 SCP 18, 2022 SCMR 270

Case No: C.P.482-K/2020

Judgment Date: 10/01/2022

Jurisdiction: Supreme Court of Pakistan

Judge: Mr. Justice Qazi Faez Isa

Summary: The petition revolved around the issue of seniority between different groups within the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). The petitioner was part of the Investigation group, while the said respondents were part of the Immigration wing. The petitioner argued that these two groups should be separate due to their distinct roles and challenged the combined seniority list that treated them as one. The case had gone through several stages, including a previous appeal and a remand order from a three-member bench of the Supreme Court.Justice Qazi Faez Isa, in delivering the judgment, reviewed the history of the case and considered the arguments presented by both sides. The Court also examined the relevant rules and regulations governing the FIA's group classification. The Court noted that rule 12 of the Federal Investigation Agency (Appointment, Promotion and Transfer) Rules, 1975 outlined different groups within the FIA, including the Investigation group and the Immigration wing, but the power to modify these groups rested with the Federal Government. Despite recommendations and actions by FIA committees, the Federal Government had not formally created a separate Immigration group.The Court addressed arguments based on discrimination, emphasizing Article 25(2) of the Constitution, which prohibited discrimination based on sex. The respondents contended that excluding female officers from the Investigation group would violate this constitutional right. However, the Court found that the power to create separate groups under rule 12 was vested in the Federal Government, and no such group had been established. The Court also referred to previous decisions and concluded that the seniority list adhered to the relevant rules.In conclusion, the Court rejected the petition for leave to appeal and dismissed the case, upholding the previous judgments and decisions related to the combined seniority list and the classification of groups within the FIA.
