00:00 First of all, comment on this judgment.
00:02 Secondly, the reaction of your party, especially the president of your party, Mr. Shabaz Sharif,
00:09 is also quite extraordinary.
00:11 Comment on this.
00:13 Look, as far as suspension of sentence is concerned,
00:18 it would have been decided 4-6-8 days ago.
00:25 If this case had not been turned around so much by the defense,
00:30 if they had insisted on a simple ground,
00:35 which they had asked for a short sentence in the application of suspension of sentence,
00:42 and if they had agreed without entering into the merits of the case,
00:46 I think this case would have been solved a week earlier.
00:50 But unfortunately, it was opened up so much that it became more complicated to show some optics and play.
01:00 But the difference between appeal and suspension is that
01:05 when you hear the request for a short sentence,
01:09 the scope is very narrow.
01:13 And that is why the grounds of appeal are not found in the suspension of sentence.
01:19 A very common phrase is used to explain this,
01:24 that the courts say that at suspension of sentence,
01:27 we can't put the cart before the horse.
01:33 This was a technical situation.
01:36 I think they made a reasonable decision.
01:38 In this regard, they did not touch the merits.
01:42 The main emphasis is on the short sentence.
01:46 I have read the order in detail.
01:49 No friend told me that the order has been issued.
01:52 Yes, they suspended the order of the trial court.
01:56 My next question was that
02:00 the reaction from your party and your party president has come very extraordinary from London.
02:05 You read the tweet.
02:07 Look, he is not the Prime Minister at the moment.
02:10 He has done a very restrained exercise as the Prime Minister.
02:14 And it is obvious from the statement of the PM,
02:18 that he has done a reasonable exercise of distance and distance.
02:21 Now he has given a statement as the head of the party.
02:25 Secondly, look at the nature of a person.
02:28 To what extent the attitude of the courts was with him,
02:33 when he was arrested twice.
02:35 Then his niece was arrested twice.
02:39 His wife, who was his housewife, had nothing to do with anything.
02:44 Her warrants were issued.
02:46 Her property was confiscated.
02:49 The houses were besieged.
02:51 All this happened.
02:53 He used to get a two or three-week date.
02:56 I was his lawyer.
02:58 I used to say repeatedly that he is about 70 years old.
03:02 He is a cancer survivor.
03:05 His doctors had said that he had genuine issues of the back.
03:10 He used to take therapy three times a day.
03:14 But we did not get the date of two or three weeks.
03:18 And it took us four months to get the warrant.
03:21 So I think we should give a little credit.
03:24 A person has a lava inside him.
03:28 If it ever comes out, it is a human nature.
03:31 I think we do not have much to do with this.
03:34 Mr. Naseer Talaar, tell us about the reaction of the former Prime Minister and your President,
03:41 Mr. Shibaz Sharif.
03:43 Was the impugn order before the Supreme Court on 3rd August,
03:49 and the trial court re-remanded the order against him?
03:55 And then the trial court's judgment was issued on 5th August.
03:59 The Supreme Court of Pakistan interfered in the judgment of 5th August.
04:05 And the Supreme Court of Pakistan's Chief Justice Sumrata Bandyal was the head of the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
04:10 So there was a reaction from Mariam Nawaz Sahiba too.
04:13 And is it the same continuation that Mr. Shibaz Sharif has given his reaction today?
04:18 As I said, I have told you a background.
04:23 You have gone through a wheel and a wheelbarrow.
04:28 And when it comes to someone else's case,
04:32 there should be a completely different standard for it.
04:35 And there should be a limit to it.
04:37 It has been 30 years since I have been in this state,
04:40 sitting with you, my ancestors.
04:43 Mr. Ghulam Sahin has left the court reporting for a long time.
04:47 But Mr. Shahid has spent a lot of time in the court proceedings of the Gahore High Court.
04:52 These fructuous matters are never raised by the courts.
04:55 And I say that there should be a yardstick.
04:58 Because Mr. Uredi should give Imran Khan or Mr. Shibaz Sharif,
05:03 or even for Akbar, Anwar, Ahmed etc.
05:07 Because the law requires that everyone should be safe.
05:11 So you should give a fructuous matter,
05:13 which was in their prayer,
05:16 which was their request for defense,
05:20 that they should do the witnesses or other cases,
05:23 pending trials.
05:25 They took it to the Islamabad High Court.
05:27 When they remanded, the court took it up again.
05:30 The Supreme Court came to it.
05:32 So you see, you cannot do those things like this.
05:35 If you take a fructuous matter and start giving directions on it,
05:39 and list the dates of each day,
05:41 and then expect that in the next moment,
05:43 this information will come that it has been given.
05:47 So this is indirectly,
05:49 the independence of the judiciary,
05:52 especially in the constitution of the High Court,
05:54 the High Court has been given complete independence.
05:56 There is no chain of command.
05:58 The Supreme Court is not a simple High Court.
06:00 Yes, this is in their decision as an appellate court.
