The aforesaid Allah Rakha filed I.C.A. No,977 of 2001 which was also dismissed by the Division Bench of this Court vide order dated 20-11-2001. For the reasons recorded in the aforesaid judgments of this Court, this writ petition is not maintainable. It is settled principle of law that the principles of Civil Procedure Code are applicable in Constitutional jurisdiction as per principle laid down by the Honourable Supreme Court in Hussain Bakhsh's case PLD 1970 SC 1. The petitioner has filed this writ petition in the representative capacity without fulfilling the mandatory requirements of Order I, rule 8, Civil Procedure Code, therefore, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed as per principle laid down by the Division Bench of this Court in Anjuman Araian Bhera's case PLD 1973 Lah.
500. It is settled principle of law that Constitutional jurisdiction is not substitute of a suit for declaration. Mere reading of the prayer of the petitioner, the writ petition is not maintainable, as the petitioner has filed this writ petition without adopting the proper procedure prescribed under sections 91 and 92 of Civil Procedure Code.

The writ petition filed by the association as mentioned above, had already been dismissed and I.C.A. Filed by the association had also been dismissed by the Division Bench of this Court.
