00:00 As bar counsel, would you go to the court and say, "Sir, this is also a case"?

00:04 The Supreme Court has taken a firm stand on this.

00:09 The Supreme Court itself wants the investigation of Shaukat Siddiqui to be done in this same vein.

00:14 It should be done. I will add to this.

00:18 Judge Bashir has retired.

00:21 But if he is also called, because I have been present in the cases of Mr. Zardari.

00:26 How Mr. Zardari's cases were bulldozed, that too...

00:30 Judge Bashir has retired.

00:34 He is a great lawyer.

00:36 He should be given the Fatiha Islamabad.

00:39 I was also present in the cases of Imran Khan.

00:41 Sultan Salauddin was also present.

00:43 Sultan Salauddin was the general of Bashir.

00:46 I have only been in the cases of Sultan Salauddin.

00:48 I will go one step ahead.

00:50 This is not just interference in judicial matters.

00:52 It is also in your matters.

00:54 There are journalists in this.

00:56 There are journalists. They are also present.

00:58 Look, all of us are from all the institutions in Pakistan.

01:01 You are a journalist, all of you are Pakistani.

01:04 You have a Pakistani heart.

01:06 We are sitting here for Pakistan.

01:08 We all want, all the institutions are dear to us.

01:12 They should work in their respective areas.

01:15 And let us do our work and let them do their work.

01:18 For Pakistan, we all should work together.

01:20 But we should work in our respective places.

01:22 This will be our first desire and preference.

01:24 Come, let us roll.

01:26 This is the real roll.

01:28 Justice Jalani has also mentioned about institutional consultation.

01:32 I just want to know, should there be such a consultation?

01:35 Are there pressures on other judges?

01:38 Can the #MeToo movement start with judges?

01:40 Imran, starting with you.

01:41 Do you think that a Supreme Court can work like this?

01:44 If everyone has some other grievances,

01:46 then tell us, without saying later,

01:48 that you are late.

01:51 There is a forum of the National Court of Justice Policy Committee.

01:56 Chief Justice of the High Court is present there.

02:00 He can arrange a policy there.

02:03 What can be the code of conduct?

02:05 If there is pressure on judges, they can react accordingly.

02:08 But as Shahbaz Bhai has said,

02:11 Judge Mohammed Bashir should be called.

02:14 So when we have reiterated the allegations of Shaukat Aziz Sreeki

02:18 that an investigation should be carried out,

02:20 then if we have to call judges,

02:22 then we have to call former Chief Justice Saqib Nisar.

02:25 And we have to call former Chief Justice Umar Ta Bandyal.

02:29 We have to call Judge Jadhul Hassan.

02:31 Today, the letter that Judge Shahbaz has written,

02:33 before writing this letter,

02:34 Bill Mushafah had gone to former Chief Justice for a meeting.

02:38 Let's ask Judge Shahbaz,

02:40 what belief did former Chief Justice Umar Ta Bandyal have in that meeting

02:44 that today, the allegations that he is sending to the Supreme Judicial Council in the form of a letter,

02:49 will be the same as the allegations that the CJ of Islamabad High Court has sent.

02:53 It is written in the letter that he has talked to someone and made us believe.

02:57 My opinion is that the letter should be carried out on the judicial side.

03:03 The Supreme Judicial Council should also start the proceedings on this letter.

03:07 By converting it into a reference against the Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court.

03:11 And then the judges who have put allegations,

03:13 should ask for evidence that you have put allegations on your Chief Justice,

03:16 and if you have not done anything, then they should prove their allegations.

03:19 By the way, he said that he should also be the Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court.

03:23 Why didn't he do anything?

03:25 Look, Ashby, one thing is that whether you call a judge or not,

03:30 but the two judges who have recently resigned,

03:32 they should definitely be called.

03:34 They should be called and asked why they resigned.

03:37 And then the proceedings that were carried out with respect to Muzahir Naqvi,

03:40 they should be asked why they were separated from those proceedings.

03:43 And then all the X-Party proceedings were carried out against you.

03:46 Look, what you are saying that the government did this,

03:50 the Bar Councils, the Supreme Court and the government,

03:54 these are on the same page.

03:57 On the same page.

03:59 In the Supreme Court?

04:00 Definitely. You cannot see how all these things have happened.

04:04 This is on the same page. This has never been seen in the past.

04:07 The second thing, you can see the past six months.

04:10 In six months, you can see that this government somehow or other,

04:15 if a decision has been made against this government, you can tell.

04:18 So, a lot of concerns, people's…

04:20 If a decision has been made, then a decision has been made.

04:22 I am a critic of the government. I am a very big critic.

04:25 Now, a lot of things are happening legally.

04:28 Look, my personal opinion is this.

04:31 If something goes wrong, I will also say that this should have been done,

04:34 this decision should have been made.

04:36 Do you remember a case that was filed in the Supreme Court,

04:40 where you thought that the decision should have been made?

04:41 It was not the case of the level playing field.

04:43 Yes, that is right.

04:44 It was the case of the level playing field.

04:46 The case of Dhanli was filed.

04:48 It was a set up of the government.

04:50 And now, look, the same lawyer who…

04:53 I am sorry, but the Supreme Court has taken a very good silence

04:58 on the election and the political party and especially against Tariq-e-Insaaf.

05:02 Which should not have happened.

05:04 When you save the democracy, you have to save its foundation.

05:07 And elections are the foundation of that.

05:08 But they let what was happening happen.

05:10 I think they said, "See no evil, hear no evil."

05:13 The matter is that if this thing opens up more, then the PTI will get the narrative.

05:18 No, it is not about a party's narrative.

05:22 It is about what is right and what is wrong.

05:24 What is right is right, what is wrong is wrong.

05:26 Islamabad High Court Chief Justice, why did he not respond to the judges' complaints?

05:31 I think we are going ahead of the bus.

05:34 The letter written by the Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court,

05:38 the same letters which say that he has spoken somewhere.

05:42 Because this was not in the Code of Conduct.

05:45 Maybe he was also clueless as to where to go with this.

05:48 But I am sure under his…

05:50 He will answer this himself, what he did about this.

05:53 But I am sure he must have done something.

05:55 However, we should give him a chance.

05:57 We should see these proceedings.

05:59 We want to see that in this kind of judicial matters,

06:04 there is no further interference of the executive.

06:07 Our judges should not be made to be like this.

06:10 The decisions should be according to the law and the merit.

06:13 Not according to the wishes.

06:15 Sir, Islamabad High Court is also adding to this.

06:19 I request, there are two names, in fact three.

06:24 One is Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court,

06:27 the other is Chief Justice of Pakistan,

06:29 along with Justice Aijaz-ul-Ahsan.

06:31 And then Senior Punit Judge of the Supreme Court,

06:34 who is the Chief Justice today.

06:36 Let's see one by one, the first one.

06:38 In this letter, he said that he has spoken.

06:41 I am sure…

06:42 It's our matter.

06:43 I am sure he will be asked, what did you do?

06:48 Where did you go?

06:49 Who did he speak to? Did he agree or not?

06:51 Look, he is admitting that he has said this.

06:55 Then he said to the Chief Justice,

06:58 he must have also spoken somewhere,

07:01 this will be available in the Supreme Court

07:03 through the minutes of the meeting or the official correspondence.

07:07 If not available, then whoever will be the commission,

07:10 can query this from him.

07:12 And number three, as far as the current Chief Justice is concerned,

07:16 at that time, he received a judgment that no judge can take a slow-moto.

07:23 Later, it has been undue.

07:25 But it was a judgment of a five-member bench

07:29 that no judge can take a slow-moto of Chief Justice of Pakistan.

07:34 And at the time he was telling, that judgment was existing.

07:38 So maybe that's why he did something.

07:40 But all of them will be called and asked, I am pretty sure,

07:42 what happened in different circumstances?

07:44 What happened in the meeting, on which action was taken or not?

07:47 Did he speak to anyone? Did he speak to anyone?

07:49 And did anyone speak?
