Judgment text as reported

Ch. Fawad Ahmed VS Government of Pakistan through Secretary Home Department Ss. 561-a, 154 & 239(b)---Constitution of Pakistan, art. 199---Constitutional petition---Inherent powers of Court---Consolidation of different FIRs---Scope---Petitioner was not initially named in any of the FIRs, however he was later implicated on the allegation that he, in collaboration with other PTI leaders, incited public unrest through social media statements and thereby abetted the events of 9th May, 2023, which continued over the following days---Petitioner contended that the allegations across the said FIRs were substantially similar, but the authorities had artificially split a continuous sequence of events into multiple cases, said FIRs should be consolidated under the doctrine of sameness and tried in a single proceedings---Validity---In the present case, each FIR arose from a distinct occurrence that took place at a different time and, in some instances, at a different location---Said events involved separate accused persons, acts of violence and evidentiary material, albeit all were said to have been precipitated by a common political development---Petitioner had been implicated in all those FIRs on the allegation that he abetted the violence through social media messaging---While his alleged conduct might have been broadly similar across the cases---acts of violence forming the subject matter of the respective FIRs were neither identical nor part of a single transaction---as such, the doctrine of sameness did not justify a blanket consolidation of all FIRs--- Petition having no merits was dismissed, in circumstances.
