TAQVEEM SHAH VS GOVERNMENT OF BALOCHISTAN art.199---Constitutional petition---Writ of quo warranto---Maintainability---"aggrieved person"---Locus standi---Scope---Petitioner assailed appointment of respondent after his retirement on contract basis in an authority which was a body corporate---Validity---Person could not be said to be an 'aggrieved person' unless he had a right in performance of statutory duty by a person performing functions in respect of any right which he could have in relation to performance of such function---any person invoking Constitutional jurisdiction of High Court had to establish direct or indirect injury to himself and his substantial interest in subject matter---To satisfy requirement of 'aggrieved person' in public interest litigation under art.199 of the Constitution, petitioner needed to have disclosed a personal interest in performance of legal duty owed to him which if not preformed would result in loss of some personal benefit or advantage or curtailment of a privilege in liberty or franchise---High Court declined to interfere in the matter as petitioner did not fall within the definition of an 'aggrieved person' and he had not locus standi to invoke Constitutional jurisdiction---Constitutional petition was dismissed, in circumstances.
