Judgment text as reported

UZAIR AHMAD VS KHYBER PAKHTUNKHWA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION Statute and Rules---Interpretation---Scope---Interpretation of statute, which leads to unreasonable or inconvenient results should not be adopted when a more rational construction is available---Principles which regulate the interpretation of a statute must be taken to regulate the interpretation of the rules as well. Delegated legislation---Vires---Determination---Rules and regulations in conflict with principal statute---Effect---While determining vires of delegated legislation, it must be examined whether it exceeds the authority granted by the parent statute, whether the prescribed procedure for its formulation was followed, and whether it aligns with the object of the enabling law---Rules and regulations, being forms of subordinate legislation, cannot override or contradict the principal statute---Their purpose is to elaborate on procedural details, not to alter the core provisions of the parent law---While such rules may be treated as part of the statute for practical application, they retain their subordinate character and may only be struck down if found repugnant to the purpose or established principles of the parent legislation.
