Judgment text as reported

THE SECRETARY/CHAIRMAN RAILWAYS, GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN, MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS, ISLAMABAD VS TARIQ MANSOOR. Matters of policy discretion or administrative choice of executive authority---Judicial restraint---Institutional autonomy---Principle---Courts, while the ultimate interpreters of legality, must exercise judicial restraint in matters where the law vests policy discretion or administrative choice in an executive or institutional authority---The principle of institutional autonomy thus guards against judicial overreach, ensuring that policy formation remains the prerogative of the executive, and that courts confine themselves to ensuring legality, rationality, and procedural fairness within the limits set by law.
