Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants, a civil society organization and a human rights activist, challenged the constitutional validity of section 3(6) of the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act, which allows the President to exempt certain procurements from public disclosure on national interest grounds. They alleged this violated constitutional provisions on transparency and accountability. The respondents raised a procedural objection that the application was improperly before the court.
