00:00Mr. Zubair, please tell us one thing, that there are proposals, but no one is aware that

00:06these are the same proposals that the government wants to bring, or they have thrown a feeler

00:10because there are 3-4 different drafts that are circulating in the market right now.

00:15Obviously, everyone has their own draft.

00:18So, why are you in such a hurry that you immediately went to the Supreme Court and

00:22filed a petition there?

00:23Yes, Mr. Zubair.

00:24Bismillah-e-Rahman-e-Rahim, thank you very much.

00:27You see, I have always fought for the law and order.

00:32As the President and Secretary of the Sindh High Court Bar, I also challenged the 21st

00:38Amendment, sir.

00:39You must remember the military courts that were made in those days.

00:43And then, as President of the Supreme Court Bar, it is right in front of you that I fought

00:48for the law and order.

00:51Now see, the issue is that the amendment that we have received, whether it is correct

00:55or not, we will find out later.

00:56Naturally, if the case is filed, then the court will ask whether the amendment that

01:01you have filed is correct or not.

01:03Show us the draft.

01:05So, it is possible that if we order them, we will find out.

01:08Because as far as I have heard, there are 57 sections.

01:11The copy that we have received, which we have challenged, in which all the judiciary

01:15has been covered, there are 43 in it.

01:18And some such articles are also being amended in it, such as Article 17, Article 48, 63A.

01:25And then what is done with the judiciary, you say, what is the hurry?

01:29Sir, this nation should be in a hurry.

01:31Because I will try my best in my life that the Constitution of Pakistan and the court

01:36of which I am a part, I have practiced all my life here in these honorable courts.

01:41And we have worked very hard for their freedom over the years.

01:44Even in the time of martial law, you have also seen martial law, these things did not

01:49happen.

01:50This is not the amendment of the court.

01:52This court is being destroyed.

01:54The Supreme Court of Pakistan has been terminated.

01:56It will be wrapped up.

01:57Which is a constitutional court.

01:59The jurisdictions of the High Court have been completely terminated.

02:01An issue has been made that the High Court has not been written on national security.

02:05An example of a High Court judge will be of a common bureaucrat, whose ACR will be written

02:10every year, on which they will check that the judge is doing the right thing.

02:13If he is not doing the right thing, then he will be sent to the Supreme Judicial Council.

02:16And who is the majority in the Supreme Judicial Council?

02:19Those of the judges of the Constitutional Court, who will be their own people.

02:23So you tell me, your freedom is coming to an end.

02:25You, the journalist, the whole nation should stand up.

02:28And then the military and their amendments that have come in front of it are also very

02:32dangerous.

02:33Okay, Mr. Zubair, tell us a little bit, especially this new court, the Federal Constitutional

02:39Court.

02:40This has been a demand, it has also been of a lawyer, it has also been in a Charter

02:44of Democracy.

02:45And Kamran Murtaza has also told us a little while ago that there is no harm in making

02:50it.

02:51But that should be under the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

02:54But what has come before us so far has been put on top.

02:57So how will it work in parallel or how will it work under it?

03:01Explain a little bit.

03:02If necessary, then what is wrong in that?

03:04Look, no.

03:05No one will object to the Federal Constitutional Court being made.

03:09But the Supreme Court, you send the proceedings of Article 184 there, absolutely.

03:14But the method of its appointment will be the same as that of Article 175a.

03:18It is not that the judges of Prime Minister and President Milkim will be made.

03:21And that will be under the Supreme Court.

03:23The appeal from that will go to the Supreme Court.

03:26Because the Supreme Court is constitutional.

03:28For that, we, Vukla, worked very hard that under Article 184, you understand that there

03:32should be a separate court.

03:33But every court in this country will be under the Supreme Court.

03:37So look, the district judiciary is under the High Court.

03:41The Supreme Court is the biggest court and of all the courts.

03:44The constitutional status of the Supreme Court should not be terminated, sir.

03:47Otherwise, it will be terminated.

03:48You cannot make a Supreme Court and appoint judges of your choice.

03:52Sir, you tell me, if the judges of your choice, and those who are listening,

03:56that it is possible that the incumbent Chief Justice,

03:58the things that are being heard on your channel,

04:00because why is the age set for 68 years?

04:03That a retired judge or a judge who will retire from the Supreme Court of his choice,

04:07he will think that I will continue to work as a judge for the government,

04:10I will get three more years.

04:11I am also against that there should be a difference in the age of the judges of the High Court and the Supreme Court.

04:16Because when a judge becomes a senior, he is getting close to 62 years,

04:19the retirement age, he thinks that if I get elevated to the Supreme Court,

04:24then I will get three more years.

04:26So I am also against this.

04:28The age of both the courts should be equal.

04:30Even the Constitutional Court, which I say is under the Supreme Court,

04:34should also be 65 years old.

04:37So this is the thing.

04:39But the way they are,

04:41they have made the Supreme Court their home,

04:44and made the Supreme Court a civil court.

04:46So this cannot happen.

04:48And the Chief Justice will not be Pakistan.

04:49The Chief Justice will be the Supreme Court.

04:51And Article 209,

04:53which is your article,

04:55how a judge has to be judged,

04:59Article 209,

05:01in that the majority is given to the judges of the Constitutional Court.

05:04So whoever comes,

05:05the High Court,

05:06because his performance is not good,

05:08he will be going to the Supreme Judicial Council.

05:10The rest of the judges will also be going there.

05:12So see, by doing that,

05:14the rest of the judges will be released.

05:16Then, transfer of judges between courts.

05:18Sir, this used to happen in the time of martial law.

05:20Do you remember?

05:21And it was finished in the 18th amendment.

05:23In those days, a judge used to do a good job.

05:25When I came to practice,

05:27before that, Ajmal Mian Sahib,

05:29who later became the Chief Justice of the High Court

05:31and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,

05:33his son was sent there.

05:34Justice Abdul Qadir Chaudhry was there,

05:36who later became the Chief Justice.

05:37And then went to the Supreme Court.

05:38Both the deceased.

05:39He was sent to Karachi.

05:41As a punishment.

05:43Let's see if the Supreme Court takes up your petition.

05:47Thank you very much, Abbas Zubairi.
