In 2020, the Registrar’s Office had raised objections over the petitions saying it was not pointed out as to what questions of public importance in the instant case were involved with reference to enforcement of any of the fundamental rights, guaranteed under the Constitution, so as to directly invoke jurisdiction of the Supreme Court under Article 184(3) of the Constitution.
The registrar had stated that the petitioners had not approached any other appropriate forum available to them under the law for the relief, besides not providing any justification for not doing so.
It was further objected that ingredients for invoking extraordinary jurisdiction of the court under Article 184(3) of the Constitution had not been satisfied.
The Registrar’s office also objected that the president and prime minister had been impleaded as respondents numbers 1 and 2, though they cannot be impleaded as a party under Article 248 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
Later on, the petitioners filed chamber appeals against the Registrar’s office in the apex court and Justice Bandial conducted the first hearing of the appeals in his chamber on Dec 2, 2020.
