The 1955 Federal Court’s ruling in the Maulvi Tamizuddin Khan case effectively established which precedent in Pakistan’s constitutional history?
💡 Explanation:The Federal Court, in *Federation of Pakistan v. Maulvi Tamizuddin Khan* (1955), upheld the Governor-General’s dissolution of the First Constituent Assembly.

This doctrine justified extra-constitutional actions (like the dissolution) on the grounds of preventing governmental chaos or maintaining order, setting a damaging precedent for later judicial validations of military coups and non-parliamentary interventions.
