CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, ISLAMABAD--Respondent
Civil Petition No. 88-R of 1984, decided on 17th April, 1985.
(Against the judgment and order dated 17-1-1984 of the Lahore High
Court, Rawalpindi Bench, Rawalpindi, in W.P. No. 341 of 1983)
Constitution of Pakistan (1973)­
----Art.189---Decision of Supreme Court---Binding nature---Prospectivity~-­
Acquiescence---Land acquisition---Compensation---Land owner had acquiesced
in the award for compensation in 1968 and had not moved in the matter
thereafter when the judgment of the Supreme Court was an:nounced whereunder
the circular under which compensation had been awarded to the land owners and
which was not so beneficial to them was held to be without lawful authority--­
Land owner who had acquiesced in the award invoked the Constitutional
jurisdiction of High Court and contended that the effect of said declaration by
Supreme Court was that he was entitled to a more beneficial treatment in
accordance with law and that the decision of Supreme Court justified reopening
of his claim to the due compensation according to law as declared by the
Supreme Court---Held, consequence of the Supreme Court judgment was that as
from the date of decision aU Courts subordinate to the Supreme Court and all
executive and quasi-judicial authorities were obliged by virtue of the Constitution
to apply the rule laid down by the Supreme Court in cases coming up before them
for decision---Decision of the Supreme Court did not have and it could not be
contended that it had, the effect of altering the law as from the commencement of
relevant law so as to render vo:d of its own force all relevant orders of the
Authority or of the High Court made in the light of the earlier interpretation.--­
