1007/2018 Const. P. Muhammad Mehboob (Petitioner) V/S P.O Sindh & ors (Respondent) Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Senior Pusine Mr. Justice Nadeem Akhtar(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Faisal Kamal Alam Order Date: 28-MAY-18
The prohibitions contained in Sections 3 and 4 and the punishments provided therein for their contravention clearly show that the persons who do not fall within the exemptions provided in Section 5 or who knowingly and willfully show disrespect for the persons fasting and/or for the holy month of Ramazan, are to be dealt with strictly and punished under Sections 3 and 4, as the case may be. Another important aspect is that no person should be allowed to take advantage of the exemptions provided in Section 5 or to exploit the same if he is not entitled to the same.Since the hotels and restaurants of the petitioners are admittedly not situated within the premises of any of the places enumerated in Section 5 of the Ordinance, they are not certainly entitled to seek exemption under the said Section, and as such all these petitions are liable to be dismissed.
