Supreme Court to Review Landmark Sani Case Ruling
Government Seeks Modifications
The Punjab government has filed an application in the Supreme Court, seeking modifications to its July 24 judgment in a review petition of the Mubarak Ahmad Sani case.
Maintainability of Application Questioned
The maintainability of this application is questionable, as a second review petition is not permitted under the Supreme Court's rules.
Background
In February 2023, the Supreme Court ruled that the appointment of Mubarak Ahmad Sani as the provincial police officer (PPO) of Punjab was unconstitutional.
The Punjab government subsequently filed a review petition, arguing that the court had erred in its interpretation of the law.
Supreme Court's Verdict
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court announced its reserved verdict, accepting the Punjab government's plea to revisit its February 6 order.
Significance
This case has significant implications for the appointment of senior police officials in Pakistan.
Further Developments
The Supreme Court has not yet issued a detailed verdict, and the government's plan of action remains unclear.
