The Lahore High Court has dismissed a petition challenging the off-loading of a passenger at Islamabad International Airport, ruling that the matter fell outside its territorial jurisdiction under Article 199 of the Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Justice Munawar Iqbal Dogal issued the eight-page judgment on a petition filed by Muhammad Owais, who was off-loaded at Islamabad airport on July 17, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The court observed that all actions relating to the off-loading took place in Islamabad and that the petitioner\u2019s residence in Punjab did not, by itself, establish the territorial jurisdiction of the Lahore High Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The judgment further held that the mere fact that a federal institution was involved did not give every high court jurisdiction to hear the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The court noted that officials of the Federal Investigation Agency at Lahore airport had no role in the off-loading and had been made parties to the case without sufficient basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The LHC clarified that the petition was not being dismissed on the merits of the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The court allowed Muhammad Owais to approach the Islamabad High Court for appropriate legal remedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Assistant Advocate General Punjab Muhammad Usman Khan was also present when the verdict was announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The judgment was described as a judicial precedent on the question of territorial jurisdiction under Article 199.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
