In a significant ruling, the Islamabad High Court has deemed Presidential Order Number 18 of 1980 as ‘illegal.’ The court explicitly stated that the Deputy Commissioner of Islamabad does not possess the authority to issue detention orders under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order.
This decision carries profound implications for the jurisdiction and exercise of powers in matters related to public order in the capital.
The court’s verdict raises critical questions about the legal framework governing administrative decisions and marks a noteworthy development in upholding constitutional principles.
