JAAG BROADCASTING (PRIVATE) LIMITED VS PAKISTAN ELECTRONIC MEDIA REGULATORY AUTHORITY (PEMRA) S.26---Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Council of Complaints) Rules, 2010, Rr. 8 & 10---Complaint---Adjudication---Petitioner / Broadcasting company was aggrieved of Letters issued by Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) approving recommendations made by Council of Complaints (COC)---Validity---Mere narration in letters in question that recommendations of COC were approved by competent authority did not suffice for purpose of compliance with R.10 of Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Council of Complaints) Rules, 2010---Minutes of various meetings of PEMRA where recommendations of COC underpinning each of the letters in question had been considered were also placed on record under cover of a statement to reinforce contention regarding compliance with codal requirements---Such statements did not serve to advance the case of PEMRA as those did not reflect any value judgment or application of mind---Leave refusing order relied upon by authorities was of no avail, since it addressed only a question of delegation and the subject of R.10 of Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Council of Complaints) Rules, 2010 was not a point under discussion---High Court set aside letters in question issued against petitioner / broadcasting company---Constitutional petition was allowed, in circumstances.
