Judgment text as reported

GUL ZARIF KHAN VS GOVERNMENT OF KHYBER PAKHTUNKHWA through Chief Secretary, Peshawar art. 25---Discrimination---Intelligible differentia, principle of---applicability---Persons may be classified into groups and such groups may be treated differently if there is a reasonable basis for such difference---Principle of equality does not imply or connote that every law must have universal application to all class of persons---Oscillating or wavering needs of dissimilar sets of persons, which may have little in common, can be treated differently on logical perspicacity---For such classification to meet standards of fairness, self-actualization of two vital constituents must be fulfilled---Classification must be founded on an intelligible differentia which may judiciously distinguish persons or things that are grouped together from others left out of the group, and second, the differentia must have a logical and sensible nexus with the object sought to be achieved---Expression "intelligible differentia" insinuates an act of exodus capable of making sense.
