Court Name: Peshawar High Court Judge(s): Dost Muhammad Khan, Irshad Qaiser Title:KHALID HASSAN KHAN vs PAKISTAN INTERNATIONAL AIR LINES through Director

of Marketing and 2 others Case No.: Writ Petition No.2803 of 2011 Date of Judgment:2012-01-16 Reported As: 2013 YLR 847 Result: Petition dismissed Judgment ORDER ' DOST MUHAMMAD KHAN, C.J.---Petitioner is aggrieved of the imposition of fine by the respondent- authority i.e. PIA for violating the terms and conditions of the license of agents by the petitioner. 2. The learned counsel made a long debate on the question of maintainability of this petition and vehemently urged that once, a citizen is wronged in a manner unwarranted in law then, he/she can maintain a constitutional petition and in this case the right of hearing was denied to the petitioner, who was imposed upon fine for no wrong on his part and that too in violation of principle of natural justice. 3. We have gone through the rules/regulations on which reliance is placed by the learned counsel which are called domestic rules framed by the internal management of the PIA to regulate the conduct of its agents. 4. It is by now Well-settled proposition of law that domestic rules, prepared by the internal management to whom no powers are delegated by the legislature enacting/ framing rules then such rules framed by the domestic management of any organization or corporation, cannot be given the status of statutory rules, violation of which or the infringement of any right accrued thereunder could not be questioned through Constitutional petition, hence, it cannot be competently maintained. ' Accordingly, we are of the firm view that this petition, for the above reasons, is not maintainable and dismissed.
