The doctrine of Continuing Mandamus serves several functions, especially where the Executive does not carry out its function effectively and either does not implement a statutory function or duty or does not exercise its discretion wisely. Thus the only remedy left is for the court to use its power under continuing mandamus to address the issue. Now there is an urgent need for our poor society to follow the doctrine of Continuing Mandamus where governments and its departments have miserably failed to fulfill the basic requirements of the citizens. if governments failed, or cannot, then our Superior Courts come forward to support the government and rescue the public by following the doctrine of Continuing Mandamus to give relief to the general public, especially the poor. The scope of Continuing Mandamus is wide and ablessing for our society, and all superior court judges should follow Mr Justice Sheikh in creatingg more milestones towards prosperity and wellbeing.
