Judgment text as reported

FAHAD AKRAM BHATTI VS FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN Vested rights---Distinction and gradation of rights---Past and closed transaction, doctrine of---Scope---While every past and closed transaction is normally based on or comprises of a vested right, every vested right is not necessarily a past and closed transaction---Indeed, if rights were required to be placed in ascending order, the 'scale' could be said to comprise of a 'bare' right, a 'vested right' and a 'past and closed transaction'---Ordinarily, a right can be regarded as progressing from a 'bare' right to become a 'vested right' and then perhaps even a 'past and closed transaction'---Of course, some rights only become vested rights, and do not go beyond to become past and closed transactions---Others may vest immediately, as soon as they arise or accrue, and then may (or may not) become past and closed transactions---Some rights (in rare and unusual situations) may even become past and closed transactions once they accrue, i.e., progress to that category straight from being 'bare' rights.
