On examination and investigation of every one of those materials we are of the view that the High Court has conferred a grave failure of record and there is aggregate non-requisition of psyche in recording the discoveries,” it said.
“The wellbeing and security of the nation is most importantly. The point when the President ended the administrations of guard officers, whose administration residency is at the joy of the President and such end is dependent upon material on record, then this court in activity of forces of legal survey ought to be abate in meddling with the President practicing sacred force,” the seat said.
