The decision states that:… If the Federal Government convinces the Attorney General that the terms and conditions of the Constitution Petition No. 39-of-2019-42 with respect to the services of a General within 6 months are valid by Parliament. In the event of failure to regulate under the constitution, the case of the term of the Constitution of the Chief of Army Staff cannot be left permanently without such supervision. It would be absurd and constitutional nonsense.

And the President, on the advice of the Prime Minister, will appoint a new Army Chief of the General Services.

In the following paragraphs of the decision, the Army Chief has been asked by the Government regarding the terms of employment and extension clause to formulate simple laws and rules and the constitutional amendment has been rejected.
"The law does not include any mention of a general's retirement age and term of office. According to institutional traditions, a general retires after completing a three-year term.
Although institutional traditions are not a legitimate alternative to law, they should be made a part of sub-clause number three of Article 243 لیکن, but in the absence of such a law, this tradition can be enforced so as to refer to the term of a general. To eliminate uncertainty and enable the constitutional post of Chief of Army Staff.
However, the matter should be regulated according to the law as per the procedure laid down by the legislature.
The following are the passages under which the extension of service chiefs in the past did not receive legal protection:… 5) the absence of a law to grant the term of a general and an additional term. The summons presented by the Ministry of Defense, which was approved by the President, the Prime Minister, and the Cabinet for the reappointment, extension and appointment of General Bajwa, appear meaningless and have no results.
6) Regulation No. 255 of the Army Regulations (Rules) does not, in its original and modified state, authorize the Federal Government to extend the rank of a general.
Regulation allows for short-term arrangements only on a temporary basis, even if done in the public interest. 7) Regulation No. 255 and the other Regulations of the Army Regulations (Rules) on the subject of "Retirement" are in conflict with the Pakistan Army Act as the issue of "Retirement" in section 176 of the Pakistan Army Act rolls over. Regulation is mentioned under and not under the Regulations.
Regulations can be made only for matters that do not fall into the Rules category.
