MUHAMMAD JAVAID AFZAL VS OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR, PUNJAB, LAHORE art. 199---Constitutional jurisdiction of the High Court---High Court's power of judicial review over decisions of competent authorities---Scope---In the exercise of its writ jurisdiction, High Court's power of judicial review over decisions of competent authorities is confined to narrow grounds, specifically, whether the impugned decisions suffer from a clear miscarriage of justice, arbitrariness, or error of law---absent such grounds, there is no justification for the exercise of discretionary jurisdiction to substitute the judgment of the competent authorities---This high threshold is imposed to ensure the smooth and effective administration of justice by the forums statutorily empowered to adjudicate the matter.
