INTRODUCTION:
"Appeared on the map of the world on 14th August, 1947, Pakistan has no permanent constitution of its own. The
Provisional constitution i-e the government of India Act, 1935 along with Indian independence act, 1947 with
certain amendments of alien conception and origin was temporarily enforced."
A constitutional Assembly was formed under the first Interim Constitution of Pakistan, which was entrusted with
task of dual responsibility i-e.
To serve as a federal legislature, and
To frame a constitution for the country.
But on October 24, 1954, this constituent Assembly was dissolved by Governer General Ghulam Muhammad and
the President of the Assembly Mulvi Tamizzuddin filed a petition in the Chief court of sindh which gave its verdict
in favour of the President of the Assembly. However, the Federal court of Pakistan over-ruled this decree and the
action of the dissolution of the Assembly by Governer General were held as valid.
