Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan Iqbal Chaudhry(Author) Order Date: 04-MAR-22
Policy-making by the CCI under Article 154(1) is in a different sphere than policy-making by the Federal Government in the exercise of its executive authority under Article 97. The Natural Gas Allocation & Management Policy, 2005 was within the legal competence of the Federal Government and not the CCI. Under the GSAs between the Plaintiffs and the SSGC, the Plaintiffs cannot assert a right to receive gas for industrial use during the months of December, January and February. Article 158 of the Constitution exists as a prerogative of a Provincial Government, and therefore it does not give actionable cause to a person other than the concerned Provincial Government to invoke the same.
