FCC says its legal observations binding on Supreme Court
Justice Aamer Farooq says Article 189 makes FCC judgments binding on all courts
The Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) has issued a 16-page judgment stating that its legal observations carry binding authority over all other courts in Pakistan, including the Supreme Court. This ruling comes after the FCC decided a matter concerning permanent appointments in a regulatory authority in the Islamabad Capital Territory.
Chief Justice Amin-ud-Din Khan headed the three-member bench that issued the judgment. The FCC's observations are not only limited to the ratio decidendi of the judgment but also include any obiter dicta.
