Judgment text as reported

KHALILULLAH KAKAR VS PROVINCIAL POLICE OFFICER, BALOCHISTAN art. 199---Constitutional jurisdiction of High Court---Scope---Constitutional jurisdiction (of the High Court) was extraordinary in its scope, it had to be exercised sparingly---Jurisdiction conferred on the High Courts under art. 199 of the Constitution was an extraordinary relief and the same had to be exercised in aid of justice and not to interfere in jurisdictions of other statutory forums---When the law has provided an adequate remedy, constitutional jurisdiction under art. 199 of the Constitution could not be exercised as the same had to be exercised in exceptional circumstances, which could justify invoking the said jurisdiction---Tendency to bypass remedy provided under relevant statute by resorting to constitutional jurisdiction (of the High Court) was to be discouraged so that legislative intent was not defeated---Such jurisdiction was meant to be exercised in extraordinary circumstances and not in run of the mill cases.
