International Islamic University: Department of Shariah & Law

Article 149 outlines the executive authority of the Federation over provinces in certain cases, such as when provincial authority may impede federal authority, on matters of national or strategic importance like transportation infrastructure, or to prevent threats to peace, the economy, or part of Pakistan. Article 150 requires that all provinces give full faith and credit to public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other province. This helps assure judgments in one province will be honored elsewhere without retrial and was important for creating a unified nation from independent sovereigns.

(2) The executive authority of the Federation shall also extend to the giving of directions to a Province
as to the carrying into execution therein of any Federal law which relates to a matter specified in the

Article: 150

Full faith and credit for public acts, etc

Full faith and credit for public acts, etc.-Full faith and credit shall be given throughout Pakistan to Public
acts and records, and judicial proceedings of every Province.

An essential purpose of the Full Faith and Credit Clause is to assure that the courts of one province will
honor the judgments of the courts of another province without the need to retry the whole cause of
action. It was an essential mechanism for creating a "union" out of multiple sovereigns.
"Full faith and credit shall be given in each of these provinces to the records, acts and judicial
proceedings of the courts and magistrates of every other province."
