MUHAMMAD ALI MAZHAR, J.- On 07.06.2016, we decided 122 Constitutional Petitions filed by different petitioners to claim Exemption under Section 5 of the Ehtram-e-Ramzan Ordinance, 1981. After hearing the arguments of learned counsel as well as learned A.A.G. the said Constitutional Petitions were disposed of in the following terms.

(1)  The petitioners may continue the business activity strictly in accordance with the exemptions provided under Section 5 of the Ehtram-e-Ramzan Ordinance 1981 in a canteen, restaurant or dining car referred to in clauses (a), (b), (c), or (d) of Section 5, protected from public view by means of a curtain or screen or otherwise.  

(2)  In case of any violation or contravention of the Ordinance or the petitioners are found in breach of any provision of Ehtram-e-Ramzan Ordinance 1981,  the competent authority may initiate action in accordance with the provisions of the Ehtram-e-Ramzan Ordinance, 1981.

(3) Copy of this order may be transmitted to the learned Additional Advocate General, Sindh, Hyderabad and all the Deputy Commissioners of Hyderabad Division, Shaheed Benazirabad Division and Mirpurkhas Division for information and compliance.

Today 20 identical Constitutional Petitions are fixed in which also petitioners want to carry on their hotels / restaurants business in accordance with the Exemption granted under Section 5 of the Ehtram-e-Ramzan Ordinance 1981, therefore, they request that the same order may be passed in their petitions.

        Learned A.A.G. present in court in other matters waives notices of all the petitions and raised no objection.

        Accordingly these Constitutional Petitions are disposed of in the same terms in which CP No. D- 1251 of 2016 and 121 other Constitutional Petitions were disposed of on 7.6.2016.

        Copy of this order may be transmitted to the learned Additional Advocate General, Sindh, Hyderabad and all the Deputy Commissioners of Hyderabad Division, Shaheed Benazirabad Division and Mirpurkhas Division for information and compliance.
