Law:

Section:

Criminal Procedure Code, 1898 (V of 1898)-- ----S. 491--Constitution of Pakistan, 1973, Art. 199(1)(c)--Habeas corpus--Notification by High Court conferring jurisdiction on the Session Judges--Terms of notification with approval of chief justice and judges of High Court--Question of maintainability of petition--Effect of Notification on powers of High Court--Conferment of jurisdiction on the Sessions Judges by High Court under Notification dated Sept. 7, 2002, has not divested High Court of its jurisdiction under S.491, Cr.P.C. given to it by the Constitution and the law and High Court does not cease to have jurisdiction under S.491, Cr.P.C.
