LAHORE:The Lahore High Court has dismissed a petition seeking a restraining order against Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) from holding its protest outside the building of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
Justice Shahid Jamil Khan in his verdict observed that the petition was not maintainable before the LHC on the ground of territorial jurisdiction since the impugned protest was held in Islamabad.
“Urgency or convenience cannot be a ground for assumption of jurisdiction to issue writ of mandamus to a person performing functions beyond the territorial jurisdiction,” the judge said in the order released on Wednesday.
