Judgment text as reported

ISLAMABAD HIGH COURT, BAR ASSOCIATION, ISLAMABAD VS ELECTION COMMISSION OF PAKISTAN through Chief Election Commissioner, Islamabad art. 184(3)---Original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court under article 184(3) of the Constitution---Scope---Original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court under article 184(3) of the Constitution is not only "discretionary" but also "special" and "extraordinary", which is to be exercised "with circumspection" only in the "exceptional cases" of public importance relating to the enforcement of fundamental rights that are considered "fit" for being dealt with under this jurisdiction by the Court---Said jurisdiction of the Court is special and extraordinary, for in the exercise of it the Court acts as the first and the final arbiter, which leaves a party aggrieved of the determination made by the Court with no remedy of appeal to any higher court---Said jurisdiction must not, therefore, be frequently and incautiously exercised, lest it damages the public image of the Court as an impartial judicial institution.
