FAIQUE ALI JAGIRANI VS The FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN through Parliaments Secretary for Law and Justice, Islamabad arts. 199, 223 & 218---Constitutional petition---Bar against double membership---Scope---Petitioner sought directions to the Chief Elections Commissioner of Pakistan to take appropriate steps in order to restrict all electoral candidates from contesting election on multiple seats---Contention of petitioner was that it constituted violation of art.218(3) of the Constitution and also placed an unnecessary burden on the national exchequer as the cost of individual contesting on multiple seats resulted in a significant waste of national resources---Validity---Directions sought were contrary to the constitutional mandate in terms of art.223 of the Constitution as it specifically contemplated multiple candidature, hence it was manifest that from a constitutional standpoint a person was not prevented from being a candidate for two or more seats at the same time---Constitutional petition was dismissed.
