Transcript

00:00Today, we saw a meeting of the Supreme Judicial Council.

00:03Regarding Judicial Commission Mujawidza Rules 2024,

00:06Chief Justice Pakistan Qazi Faiz Issa Sahib,

00:08under the leadership of the Judicial Commission,

00:10we saw that all the senior judges were present.

00:13The rules were reviewed,

00:15in which the judges' statements are made,

00:17and in the High Courts,

00:18the statements were also reviewed.

00:20On this occasion, we heard that

00:22Justice Muneeb Akhtar Sahib and the Attorney General

00:24also had a dialogue.

00:25Muneeb Akhtar Sahib left this meeting.

00:27Mr. Asnath Malik, let's start with

00:29the Government's bill.

00:31Apparently, they claim that they have the numbers.

00:33Yesterday and day before yesterday, there was a meeting.

00:35Just now, Tariq Fazal Chaudhary Sahib said

00:37that tomorrow, at least, the bill is not coming.

00:39What will be the procedure?

00:40He says that he will complete the number game,

00:42but tomorrow, the bill, do you have any suggestions

00:44that it may come?

00:46I don't think that the numbers are complete.

00:48Even in the Senate, if we get the numbers of

00:50Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman,

00:51first of all, what is Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman

00:53supporting?

00:54If he supports, then in the Senate,

00:56even then, the required number is 64.

00:58How will it be completed?

01:00The Supreme Court's judgment on 63A

01:02is in the field.

01:04If the second party's vote comes from

01:06PTI or some other party,

01:08then it will not be counted.

01:10But that will be a challenge later.

01:12No, the judgment is of the Supreme Court.

01:14How can it be like this?

01:16No, the free people.

01:18It is a matter of the National Assembly.

01:20Even there, the numbers are less.

01:22If we do it from there also,

01:24then it is not that easy.

01:26There is also information that

01:28if it comes from the government,

01:30then the cabinet will talk about it.

01:32The bill will be approved by the cabinet

01:34and then it will go to the Assembly.

01:36And then, generally,

01:38this is a constitutional amendment.

01:40We see that the committee also

01:42thinks about it.

01:44It is still being told that

01:46the draft has not been shared anywhere.

01:48This proposed suggestion,

01:50none of us,

01:52even yesterday,

01:54the legal side of the GUEF,

01:56Senator Kamran Muzza,

01:58he was saying that

02:00he spoke to the government

02:02to show us the draft.

02:04The draft is not available.

02:06So, till now, it seems that

02:08because of the reserve seat,

02:10the detailed judgment that was

02:12to be issued on July 12,

02:14and it is likely that it will come next week,

02:16before that,

02:18it seems that

02:20there is a lot of pressure.

02:22And if this amendment

02:24is such that

02:26many things,

02:28legal questions will arise,

02:30then it will come to the Supreme Court

02:32and it will be a challenge.

02:34A new chapter will begin.

02:36So, right now,

02:38one thing is that the government

02:40is more focused on the reserve seat.

02:42The second thing is that there should be

02:44a detailed judgment on the reserve seat.

02:46And in the review,

02:48they should overturn it

02:50or make it mild

02:52so that the government can take

02:54two-thirds in the National Assembly and Senate.

02:56So, they are more focused on that.

02:58But Javed, it is very interesting

03:00that at least the government members

03:02are acknowledging this.

03:04First of all, the Chief Justice's

03:06speech will be done from the panel

03:08of five members.

03:10Then the posting and transfer of

03:12judges from one court to another

03:14will be done.

03:16They are saying that

03:18there is a lot of burden of cases.

03:20These are just a few.

03:22Apart from this, is there anything else?

03:24There is information that

03:26Islamabad has come to the court

03:28and a federal court has been made.

03:30These are suggestions.

03:32The government people used to say

03:34that first, the procedure of changing

03:36the appointment of judges should be changed.

03:38In that, the Parliamentary Committee

03:40and the Judicial Commission should

03:42form a forum.

03:44The Chief Justice has also beaten

03:46the people.

03:48Is there any technical problem

03:50in the selection of the Chief Justice

03:52from the panel?

03:54It is said that

03:56when the Judicial Commission

03:58deliberated on the proposal

04:00of the Rules Committee,

04:02there was a consensus

04:04that there should be

04:06three names for the Chief Justice

04:08of the High Court.

04:10So, if there are three names

04:12for the Chief Justice of the High Court,

04:14then it is fine.

04:16But the Supreme Court will also

04:18ask why there are only five names

04:20for the Chief Justice.

04:22The government does not want

04:24three names.

04:26So, it seems that

04:28these are just discussions.

04:30On the other hand,

04:32it is more likely that

04:34if Qazi Faisal is not notified

04:36and all the judges' retirement age

04:38is not increased,

04:40then the Chief Justice

04:42should be notified.

04:44Even if there is an amendment

04:46to the rules,

04:48the government will not

04:50be notified.

04:52The government has been

04:54trying for a long time

04:56to talk informally

04:58to the Chief Justice.

05:00Is there any breakthrough

05:02in this?

05:04If there was a breakthrough,

05:06there would be a notification.

05:08But the government is still trying.

05:10Thank you very much.
