Judgment text as reported

JUBILEE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY LIMITED VS OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF PAKISTAN (PUBLIC) Question of jurisdiction should be decided at the outset---Jurisdiction must be lawfully conferred upon a forum---The question of jurisdiction is a pure question of law and is almost a fundamental issue that needs to be addressed first---There is no cavil with the proposition that no authority should exercise any jurisdiction in any manner brought before it until and unless such jurisdiction has been conferred upon it by the Constitution itself or under any law---Moreover, jurisdiction cannot be assumed or denied based on conjecture but must flow from express statutory authority.
