Judgment text as reported

SHAHID HUSSAIN MAHESSAR VS FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN THROUGH OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER, ISLAMABAD. Coordinate bench---Object, purpose and scope---Doctrine of “coordinate bench” symbolizes two or more benches of judges within the same Court---Dominant object is to strengthen doctrine of precedent, which by and large commands that one coordinate bench must follow the decision of another coordinate bench and in case of any cause of disagreement for any reason to follow, the matter may be referred to a larger bench for final resolution and decision on the issue---Eminent rule is that a “coordinate bench” is bound by judgment of another and should not close eyes to any earlier judgment by another “coordinate bench”---“Coordinate bench” may only disregard a previous judgment if there is a contradictory or diverging decision of High Court or Supreme Court.
