Summary: Art. 199 Constitution of Pakistan, 1973.investigation--Jurisdiction of constitutional Court. This court can ask investigation agency about inaction against accused.

Summary: Issue: Whether the petitioner's prior disqualification due to dual citizenship for being a Member of Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament) impacts his eligibility for local government elections under the Punjab Local Government Act, 2013.Holding: The Supreme Court allowed the petition, converting it into an appeal, and restored the order of the Election Appellate Authority, thereby accepting the petitioner's nomination papers for the local government election.Reasoning: The Court found that disqualifications for being elected to local government positions are explicitly provided under Section 27 of the Punjab Local Government Act, 2013. The petitioner had renounced his UK citizenship, and thus, his disqualification ceased to exist. The Court noted that disqualifications under other laws, including the Constitution or the Representation of People Act, 1976, cannot be imported into the Punjab Local Government Act, 2013 by implication. The Court emphasized the principle that legislative provisions cannot be read into a statute unless explicitly incorporated or adopted. The Court distinguished the case from the Sindh Local Government Act, 2013, which explicitly incorporates disqualifications applicable to members of the Provincial Assembly.Rule: A person's disqualification due to dual citizenship ceases once they renounce their foreign nationality, making them eligible to contest local government elections under the Punjab Local Government Act, 2013. Disqualifications under other laws cannot be implicitly applied to the provisions of the Punjab Local Government Act, 2013.Order: The Supreme Court set aside the judgment of the Lahore High Court and restored the order of the Election Appellate Authority, which accepted the petitioner's nomination papers for the local government election.Key Precedents Cited:Mahmood Akhtar Naqvi v.
