01:28 Malik Asad's case 1998 and the way he made a bench was discussed.

01:36 Then, he did not show other judgments.

01:41 The Chief Justice said, "Do you have anything to support your judgment?"

01:47 Before that, the Chief Justice came in a rush and said, "I will issue you a contempt notice."

01:54 The Chief Justice wanted to issue a contempt notice because he was not answering the question.

02:00 The way he started the argument was by asking questions.

02:04 I have heard that 81% of the time was taken up by the judges.

02:13 Judges should remain silent. Judgments should speak for them.

02:28 The judges would ask a few questions and it would seem that the judges would want the case to be turned on them.

02:50 The media also had a glamour and it was necessary to ask questions in front of the media.

02:58 I think that the questions that were asked with brevity and pertinence by Muneeb Akhtar, Ayesha Malik Sahiba and Ijaz-ul-Hassan were more of a glamour.

03:24 I think that between the Chief Justice and the bar that was appearing before him, the case belonged to the bar.

03:36 How much can this bar keep the judges busy?

03:41 If the judges ask questions and the Chief Justice asks them to start the case,

03:46 then the left corner would ask a question and the right corner would ask a question.

03:54 Almost every judge participated and put in a bit.

03:59 Some did more, some were very keen.

04:06 The third thing is the distortion. If you look at the media, they are mostly quoting and narrating the judge's observations.

04:17 Especially the judge's observations that the media needs to keep up with.

04:25 This is a distortion. I have seen the proceedings myself for at least 4 hours out of 6 hours.

04:32 I was very excited that this would be a big step forward.

04:36 But I think it was a very disappointing.

04:39 First of all, the bar belonged to the lawyers, to Imtiaz Siddiqui and to the others, Tarik and the representatives there.

04:52 It didn't even belong to the Attorney General because the Attorney General was going with the flow and the flow was taking him along.

05:00 Although he is a very competent young man.

05:04 But I think, look, for the last 200-250 years, the Supreme Court of America,

05:16 the House of Lords has been growing and growing for 500 years, the House of Lords of the 19th, 20th and 21st century.

05:29 Then there is the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom.

05:33 Or the Supreme Court of India.

05:39 Why didn't they do audiovisuals?

05:43 They could have done that too.

05:45 But today it has been proven that by doing this, setting up a field for Kabaddi,

05:53 verbal Kabaddi in the, for everybody to see, this process has failed.

06:02 I think this process should be, I think, should be stopped at once.

06:08 And if it is not stopped at once...

06:10 - Mr. Tiza D'Essin, you are being so harsh today.
