The Constitution Of Islamic Republic Of Pakistan QUESTION #9361
Question 1
Article 175E grants the Federal Constitutional Court exclusive original jurisdiction over disputes between Governments. The court's remedy in such cases is limited to:
  • Any appropriate remedy including injunctions
  • Declaratory judgments only✔️
  • Damages and compensation
  • Criminal sanctions against responsible officials
Correct Answer Explanation
Article 175E(2) explicitly provides that 'in the exercise of the jurisdiction conferred on it by clause (1), the Federal Constitutional Court shall pronounce declaratory judgments only.' This restricts the FCC's inter-governmental dispute remedy to declarations rather than coercive orders.
