2026 CJ Review 6Vice Chancellor Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Medical University and others vs. Altaf Hussain Somroo
--- Arts. 199 & 187 --- Power to do "complete justice" --- Federal Constitutional Court and Supreme Court powers --- Limits of High Court jurisdiction --- Scope --- The only power of compassion that might exist or may not exist is only conferred on the Supreme Court and the Federal Constitutional Court under Article 187 of the Constitution and that too is different from the “scope and ambit” of High Court under Article 199, which can only exercise the power conferred on it by law or Constitution --- Despite having the power of rendering “complete justice” we do not lose our status as courts of law and still have to act within our broad constitutional fabric and judicial precedents.
