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. Though the legal basis involved technical grounds, the judgment fundamentally relied on and introduced the concept that became known as the 'Doctrine of Necessity' into Pakistani jurisprudence. 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.
