Judgment text as reported

FAYSAL BANK LIMITED VS The GOVERNMENT OF PUNJAB Ss. 2(i), 6, 5, 7 & 10---Constitution of Pakistan, Art. 199---Constitutional petition---Vulnerable establishment---Security Advisory Committee ("Committee")---Warning under the Punjab Security of Vulnerable Establishments Act, 2015---Mandatory requirement of notification of a premises as a "vulnerable establishment"---Scope---Petitioner Bank impugned notice issued to it under Ss. 6 & 10 of the Punjab Security of Vulnerable Establishments Act, 2015, inter alia, on ground that same was incompetently issued by respondent SDPO Police, and that the petitioner's premises were not duly notified as "vulnerable establishment" in terms of S.2(i) of the said Act---Validity---Provisions of said Act would apply only to an establishment subject to two conditions: first, if Committee identified same as a "vulnerable establishment" and made a recommendation to the DCO for its notification as such; and secondly, if DCO declared same a vulnerable establishment by notification.---None of said two requirements were fulfilled in present case as no notification in terms of S.5 of said Act declaring petitioner's premises as "vulnerable establishment" was issued nor published---Impugned notice was therefore unlawful and set aside---Constitutional petition was allowed, accordingly.
