Judgment text as reported

FAHAD AKRAM BHATTI VS FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN Prospectivity and retrospectivity of a statute---Procedural law---There can be no two views about the powers of legislature to legislate any law and to make it applicable prospectively or retrospectively or from any particular date, with clear/express intendment in this regard---However the procedural law, even though not expressly provided for, normally holds its applicability retrospectively as no one can claim vested right in the matter of procedure.
