STATE BANK OF PAKISTAN VS FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN through Secretary, Ministry of Defense, Rawalpindi Ss. 60 & 277---Constitution of Pakistan, Art. 199---Constitutional petition---General power of taxation---Revision---Alternate remedy, availability of---Scope---Petitioner challenged the jurisdiction and authority of the authorities in levying property tax on the petitioner---Respondents raised objections in respect of the alternate remedy being available under S. 277 of the Cantonments Act, 1924---Held; petitioner had challenged the very authority of the respondents to issue challans to the petitioner pertaining to property tax, therefore, the rule that the High Court would not entertain Constitutional petition when other appropriate remedy was available was not a rule of law barring jurisdiction but a rule by which the Court regulated its jurisdiction---If the impugned orders/actions were without lawful authority or violative of some law then the High Court could exercise its constitutional jurisdiction unless it could do so without any elaborate enquiry into complicated or disputed facts.
