Will CJP Isa be able to fix deteriorating situation of SC?
Transcript
00:00 The question is, in this era, the wrongful conviction is not permissible.
00:07 They say that either there will be a lot of correction or there will be a lot of corruption.
00:11 Your thoughts?
00:12 God forbid, is the situation of the 90s also looking like corruption?
00:19 I don't think that this will happen.
00:23 I think that in the next 12-13 months, Chief Justice and Chief Justice Esa will do a lot of things.
00:31 I think they will play a lot on the front foot.
00:34 I don't think they will attack a fellow judge internally.
00:40 Or they will create more split or cracks.
00:45 I think they will go in the other direction.
00:48 And the big things that they have to do, which should be in Pakistan according to their ideology and their thinking,
00:55 and the big cases, I think he will move to decide them.
00:59 They will not be in a hurry, they will not be on interim order.
01:02 I think they will want to do a lot of things on one side.
01:05 There are many such cases in it that are dormant.
01:08 And I think they will try to revive them too, so that they can decide.
01:12 And then the military court, the election, I think he will not shy away from these decisions.
01:18 And I think they will play on the front foot.
01:20 And more external...
01:22 Haider sir, none of us are experts in psychology, of course, we are sitting in this panel and talking,
01:28 but it is obvious that a person's psychology, even if he is a jurist,
01:32 is very superb in his field, but the incidents that have happened,
01:37 like the side-line, the allegedly making of a bench,
01:42 and then the situation of the court in most cases,
01:47 working in chambers, what is the impact of this?
01:52 And especially some sticky things, some lawsuits came up.
01:57 Then in such a situation, to take it as the main issue, they are two different things.
02:02 That is, to make decisions is something else, but to take the whole judiciary along,
02:08 will it be easy?
02:10 Very good question.
02:12 And now they will have these two ways,
02:14 that do they take revenge by doing more of what he wants and does,
02:19 which is their ideology, which was not happening according to their right things,
02:24 so they take revenge by doing the right things,
02:27 which were being stopped according to them.
02:30 Will their response and reaction be that all these things,
02:34 the rights of the Chief Justice or interference in parliamentary affairs,
02:38 whatever things he holds dear,
02:40 with respect to which he has also written letters,
02:43 and whatever are his widely held ideological and constitutional beliefs,
02:50 will they implement them and take revenge when they were not allowed to do this?
02:58 Or will they bring it down from the ideas and concepts,
03:03 and take revenge from the individuals who did not let them do all this?
03:07 I think I have hope and I expect that it will be the formal.
03:12 And I think that the work that was being stopped by them,
03:16 I am taking revenge in the sense that their reaction, I think,
03:20 and I hope that it will be that all the things that were being stopped by them,
03:24 they try to achieve those great things in the context of their thoughts,
03:28 their decisions, their capabilities,
03:37 from which they were being stopped, from which the Supreme Court shies away.
03:41 I think that will be, should be, I hope it will be his legacy,
03:46 rather than that this squabbling and the fight between each other gets more heated.
03:51 And then it can get heated, it has been heated for a long time.
03:57 So I really hope that this will not happen.
03:59 And he will rise up, he will go after the real issues.
04:03 And if that is what he wants, he wants a big legacy,
04:06 then he needs to go after the real issues.
04:08 And the only thing he needs to depend on is his own widely held belief system and ideology
04:14 and his precedents and his legacy.
04:16 If he takes that principle forward and implements it,
04:19 that is the way to react to what happened to him.
04:22 I don't think he needs to make it person specific.
04:24 Hmm. Okay.
04:27 Mr. Lagari, now let's come to some political issues.
04:30 We have already discussed this topic.
04:32 The things that are coming up regarding People's Party and Noon League,
04:37 Mr. Abbasi, Mr. Hanif Abbasi, pressed a conference and the reaction to it.
04:42 Was this an accidental friendly fire or a deliberate attempt?
04:48 Obviously, the ideology is different, there is an agenda to be run,
04:52 maybe elections will be held.
04:55 What is happening internally in your view?
04:59 I think we should understand that there are two different parties
05:04 and there are different ideologies of two different parties.
05:07 Now the era of views is no longer the same as we have seen in the 60s and 70s.
05:14 In the 80s, there was a time of great struggle,
05:17 the way people have fought with Malishah, with Zakar Allah Khan, with Jabr.
05:23 So that era is no longer the same.
05:26 Then we have seen the era of the 90s,
05:29 in which there was a proper arrangement,
05:32 with which the establishment has decided that someone has to give it to someone,
05:36 someone has to not give it, how much to give, how much not to give,
05:39 all this was then an arranged system.
05:43 Now there is a real need that Pakistan is going through a serious crisis.
05:51 As far as Justice Qazi Faiz is concerned, I just wanted to say this,
05:56 I have said it and then I will come to you,
05:59 that they showed the ceremonial,
06:02 that they will not do more than this,
06:05 so they just had to show this,
06:08 and this was non-conventional,
06:10 there is never a convention that they call the wife and say,
06:14 "Come and sit with us, then we will get up."
06:17 This was a symbolic thing and ceremonial,
06:21 and they will just go and finish the matter,
06:24 then there will be nothing else,
06:27 who feels that they have gone towards Vendetta,
06:30 or have gone towards revenge,
06:32 or have gone to show someone,
06:34 they just had to show one thing, it was shown,
06:36 that's it, it will not be further.
06:38 As far as the two parties are concerned,
06:40 both parties have different ideologies,
06:43 both have different past,
06:45 both have different legacies,
06:47 both have stood at different places,
06:49 and both have similar issues,
06:53 and I think they have a good experience of the past,
06:58 and that experience was that they had a Charter of Democracy,
07:03 this was also a political big mess in the history of Pakistan,
07:09 as a result of which the 18th amendment came,
07:12 and the concurrent list that had been in the Satkhana for a long time,
07:17 that the one who will keep it with him,
07:19 and it will not be devolved towards the Subuh,
07:22 so they came,
07:23 now it will be that the powers should be brought down further,
07:27 and they should be taken towards the third tier of democracy,
07:30 so I think they will try to make it more expensive.
07:34 The real problem is that the situation is polarized,
07:37 the situation is so polarized,
07:39 that it is not visible from within,
07:42 that which party achieves the status of a Charter of Democracy,
07:48 every time,
07:49 this time those who used to put their hands on their shoulders,
07:53 now they are thinking that the ones who used to plant pots,
07:56 the ones who used to plant nurseries,
07:57 and then they used to water them,
07:58 they used to plant,
07:59 they have seen the result of that,
08:00 what is the result of that?
08:02 Now we will have to see that the government that will come,
08:05 Will there be an elected representative government or not?
