The Constitution Of Islamic Republic Of Pakistan QUESTION #9369
Question 1
The Federal Shariat Court under Article 203D cannot examine which categories of law for repugnancy to Injunctions of Islam?
  • Criminal laws
  • Fiscal laws and laws relating to levy and collection of taxes, banking or insurance practice and procedure (for ten years), Muslim personal law, and laws of court procedure✔️
  • Civil laws relating to property
  • Constitutional provisions only
Correct Answer Explanation
Article 203B(c) defines 'law' for FSC purposes to exclude the Constitution, Muslim personal law, any law relating to court procedure, and — until expiry of ten years from commencement of the Chapter — any fiscal law or law relating to taxes, banking, or insurance. These exclusions carve out significant domains from the FSC's repugnancy jurisdiction.
