Judgment text as reported

ADMINISTRATOR MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, PESHAWAR VS TAIMUR HUSSAIN AMIN S. 3---Constitutional petition before the Supreme Court challenging dissolution of subsisting local governments in the Province of Punjab before completion of their mandated five-year period---Registrar Supreme Court delaying fixing of hearing of petition---Supreme Court expressed its displeasure at the Registrar's conduct and observed that Registrar of the Supreme Court should have ensured that the petition in question was fixed at the very earliest, however, unnecessary objections to its maintainability were first raised and then it took a few months before the petition was placed for hearing in Court; that the progress of the petition was further delayed when, after issuance of notice by the Supreme Court, the Registrar did not fix it for hearing; that if election matters were not decided at the earliest, people lost faith in democratic institutions; that petition in question raised questions of immense public importance as the people of the most populous province of the country had been disenfranchised at the local level; that by not fixing the petition for hearing, the Registrar undoubtedly undermined the people's perception of the independence of the Supreme Court---Supreme Court directed the Registrar to immediately fix the subject petition for hearing and immediately solicit the orders of the Chief Justice to have it fixed for hearing---Applications were disposed of.
