Not bound by the decisions of the Supreme Court, the important decision of the Federal Constitutional Court continues

Islamabad (National Bureau): Islamabad (November 2, 2026): The Federal Constitutional Court rejected the revision request of Balochistan Trading Company and said that we are not bound by the decisions of the Supreme Court.

According to ARY News, the Federal Constitutional Court has rejected the review application related to lease restoration and occupation of Balochistan Trading Company and has ordered to confiscate the security submitted and said in the decision that the Federal Constitutional Court is not bound by the decisions of the Supreme Court.

The court in its judgment wrote that Supreme Court decisions are only persuasive for the Constitutional Court. The Federal Constitutional Court can take guidance from the decisions of the Supreme Court, and if the legal precedent of the Supreme Court is consistent with the law and the Constitution, the Constitutional Court can adopt it.

The judgment held that the jurisdiction of the revision petition is very limited and specific. It is not an occasion for re-argument of the case but is limited only to the error or omission apparent on record, causing a miscarriage of justice. Courts do not rehear in review but look for manifest error on the record.
