ORDER 
 
 
 
We have called learned Attorney General for Pakistan 
to be of assistance. The Local Government Elections in the 
Cantonment Areas have not been held since 1998 and now the 
reason being given by the Federal Government for delay is that the 
Government is contemplating to amend the Cantonment Act, 1924 
and the Cantonment Local Government Election Ordinance, 2002.  
2. 
 
Holding of Local Government Elections is mandated by 
the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan in terms of Article 
140A and as required by the Principles of Policy enshrined in the 
C.M.A. NO. 7546/2013 IN CONSTITUTION PETITION NO. 65/2009 etc 
2
Constitution (Article 32). In the afore-referred circumstances, we 
would like learned Attorney General for Pakistan to be of 
assistance particularly on the following points:- 
i) 
what is the consequence of any further delay in 
holding 
of 
Local 
Government 
Elections 
in 
the 
Cantonment Areas in terms of the afore-referred 
provision? and 
ii) 
whether 
the 
Local 
Government 
Elections 
in 
Cantonment Areas can be held under the existing law? 
 
3. 
 
The question of contempt against Mr. Asif Yaseen 
Malik shall also be taken up on the next date. Adjourned to 
20.2.2014 as requested.
