Headed by Chief Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail, the high court bench comprised Justice Naeem Akhtar Afghan, Justice Hashim Khan Kakar, Justice Abdul Hameed Baloch and Justice Abdullah Baloch. A constitutional petition was filed by a lawyer Kashif Kakar who challenged the DHA Act, 2015.
The high court chief justice issued the judgement after listening to the final arguments from both sides. Clauses 2-q, 6b 1-14 and 14b of the Quetta DHA Act, 2015, were termed null and void, on the grounds that they violated the Constitution of Pakistan.
