main provision and the proviso attached therewith, then the proviso is
to be ignored and in support of his such contention, has placed reliance
on Province of Sindh through Chief Secretary and others vs. M.Q.M.
through Deputy Convener and others (PLD 2014 Supreme Court
531), which provides that a proviso could not be construed to nullify
the enacted clause. He has further placed his reliance on Dr.
Muhammad Anwar Kurd and 2 others vs. The State through Regional
Accountability Bureau, Quetta (2011 SCMR 1560) to contend that,
natural presumption of providing such proviso is to exclude general
application of relevant section/subsection in the matter notified under
the proviso. Proper function of proviso is that it qualifies generality of
main enactment by providing an exception and taking out as it were,
from main enactment. To say,proviso should normally be construed nor
merely to limit or control but nullify the enactment and taking away
completely a right conferred by enactment is incorrect.
