2576/2025 Const. P. Dr. Saiyid Khusro Iqbal through attorney (Petitioner) V/S Government of Pakistan & Others (Respondent)
Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Zulfiqar Ali Sangi
Order Date: 01-APR-26
Prima facie, thus, there is no vacancy for the petitioner to claim, and no ground to question Respondent No.4???s legal authority to hold office. Therefore, the writ of quo warranto, which is remedial in nature and requires illegality or excess of authority, cannot be sustained at this stage under these circumstances. The petitioner???s counsel claims amount to a challenge on merit, which is not permissible in a quo warranto proceeding. 12. In view of the above facts and circumstances of the case, we are of the considered view that the petition filed by Dr. Saiyid Khusro Iqbal is devoid of merit, lacks any subsisting cause of action. The appointment of Respondent No.4 as Executive Member, PEMRA, is lawful, valid, and fully compliant with statutory requirements. 13. This petition along with pending application(s) is found not maintainable under article 199 of the Constitution which is hereby dismissed with no order as to costs.Full judgment text for this case is not yet available on Pakistan Law Reports.
