MUMTAZ HUSSAIN BHUTTA versus GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN THROUGH SECRETARY, MINISTRY OF WATER AND POWER, ISLAMABAD
Constitutional application of Arts 199 and 212 to Pepco, Employee of Pakistan Electric Power Company, as per Secretary of National Transmission and Distribution Company (NTDC), Ministry of Water and Power, 100% stake in Pepco Government. Owned, but had no role. In its management, the Petitioner, in particular with his Board of Directors, did not challenge any order of his appointing authority, ie the PEPCO, but rather a challenge approved by a third party, the federal government. Who was not conducting Pepco Petitioner's business nor a civil servant. His rules of service were neither the chairman of the Law Ministry Water and Power nor the director of the PEPCO, but also strangers to the PEPCO affairs. The federal government had no authority to pass an impartial order. Was declared without legal authority and had no legal effect.
