ISLAMABAD – This is the city where I live. After the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly refused to pass a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan, the Supreme Court of Pakistan had to start hearing the case.
The case is being heard in the federal capital by a five-person bench of the Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Umer Atta Bandial.
A lawyer for Punjab brought up the mock assembly held by the opposition on Wednesday, where the PML-Hamza N’s Shehbaz was named as the new chief minister.
Ex-Punjab governor Chaudhry Sarwar will swear in Hamza today at a ceremony in the Bagh-i-Jinnah. The PML-N leader has also called a meeting of bureaucrats for today, he said. He said that the Constitution was “no big deal” for the PML-N.
However, the Chief Justice of Pakistan said that the Supreme Court would not make any decisions about what was going on in Punjab and told the lawyer to go to the high court.
During the same time, Justice Mazhar Alam wondered if it was OK for the doors of the Punjab Assembly to be closed on Tuesday. On the other hand, CJP said that the court would not look away from the case at hand.
As he made his case, Ali Zafar said that the Constitution should be protected in accordance with the rules it sets out. To protect the Constitution, he said that each and every one of its parts had to be thought about.
If someone did something bad to everyone in the assembly, not just one person, what would happen?
“Can Parliament get involved if there’s a disagreement between the judges?” Zafar asked as a counter. “It doesn’t matter. The courts have to decide this. It can’t do anything, just like Parliament can’t do anything about judges.”
Other than that, the CJP also wanted to know if Parliament could decide how the federal government was formed.
Ali Zafar said that the no-confidence vote and the election of the prime minister were both under the authority of Parliament. He said that the National Assembly is set up so that a speaker and a prime minister can be chosen by the people who live in it.
That is what Justice Miankhel told us. The no-confidence motion is what is going on right now. “After the motion, a judge made a decision about the case. Take care of this “He told Zafar what he had told him.
He asked Zafar why he wasn’t explaining whether or not the country had a constitutional crisis at one point. The man asked, “If everything is going as it should, where is the problem?”
That’s what Zafar said, too. He said that he wished there was no constitutional crisis in the country, too.
