ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - The Supreme Court on Monday returned a petition filed by former senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar seeking the formation of a full court to hear matters related to the 26th Constitutional Amendment, citing procedural objections.
According to the court's registrar office, the petition was filed under Article 184(3) of the Constitution, but it failed to highlight any issue of public importance — a key requirement for invoking this jurisdiction.
The objections further stated that a personal grievance cannot be addressed under Article 184(3), and the petitioner failed to satisfy the court on the admissibility of the plea.
Moreover, the petition contained multiple prayers, making it non-maintainable.
This amounts to undermining and closing the doors of justice. Will file an appeal. https://t.co/ysUU7hJYNV
