"Practice and Procedure Bill ko Tabdeel Na Kiya Jaye..." Bilal Azhar Kayani's criticism on PTI
Transcript
00:00Practice and Procedure Bill, the way it was promulgated,
00:05today, those people want it not to be changed,
00:08who at that time used to say, including PTI,
00:10that only individuals should have power.
00:12First, the Practice and Procedure Bill was given a stay order.
00:15This should not even be legislated.
00:17This is an attack on Independence of Judiciary
00:19that three judges are being given this power.
00:21So, this is the first thing.
00:22So, you said, who were on your side?
00:24These judges, these judges.
00:26No, no, sir, it is a request.
00:27We are still on three judges.
00:28But see,
00:29Which is the third judge?
00:30No, no, sir.
00:31One plus two.
00:32No, no, sir.
00:33So, you mean to say that the third judge,
00:35is his integrity so compromised,
00:37that the situation can be compromised.
00:40No, sir.
00:41This is casting aspersions.
00:43But you did cast that aspersion at the very onset.
00:46At least listen to the logic of why this change has been made.
00:49So, in my view,
00:51when Justice Fardeh Wahid had power,
00:53it was not an ideal scenario.
00:55There was improvement in that.
00:56When the democratization of the Supreme Court took place,
00:58and three judges got this power.
01:00So, in the beginning,
01:01the Chief Justice and the next two senior most judges were in that law.
01:03But after that, as I understand,
01:05there has been a need for flexibility.
01:07See, sometimes, all three judges may not be available.
01:10But benches have to be formed.
01:11So, a motto has to be made.
01:12So, in order to provide that flexibility,
01:14and in order for different judges to get that,
01:16different judges to get a chance,
01:18this flexibility,
01:19Sir, let me,
01:20Sir, let me,
01:21Sir, let me,
01:22Let me give you an argument.
01:23Let me accept your argument,
01:24that there should be flexibility.
01:25No, there is one more thing.
01:26Muneeb Akhtar attended every meeting.
01:28Justice Muneeb Akhtar.
01:29No, that is fine.
01:30But see,
01:31What is the reason to change?
01:32See, friend, third thing.
01:33That ordinance is not limited to just this section.
01:36In that ordinance,
01:37cases were heard on the basis of first in, first out.
01:40In that ordinance,
01:41So, you are saying,
01:42listen,
01:43you,
01:44take a vote of no confidence in the assembly,
01:47Deputy Speaker,
01:48through a loodling,
01:49finishes it.
01:50And says,
01:51Sir, I do not agree with this motion of no confidence.
01:53And I reject it.
01:54So, Supreme Court should wait.
01:56If it has 4,000 cases pending,
01:58that those 4,000 cases will be over.
02:00Then it will be its turn.
02:02I will call this again.
02:03No, Sir, there is qualification in this.
02:05See, in that ordinance,
02:06No, no, there is qualification in that ordinance,
02:08that with certain qualifications,
02:09generally,
02:10the principle of first in, first out should be applied.
02:12It should not be that there is a party,
02:14whose case has been stuck in the Supreme Court for 20 years,
02:16and the petition is not being filed.
02:17So, see,
02:18where there are contingencies,
02:19where there are certain cases,
02:20which have to be finalized in a timeline,
02:22or there are other reasons,
02:23those qualifications are also there.
02:24Apart from this,
02:25we have talked about the transcription of every case.
02:27Apart from this,
02:28where 184.3 is invoked,
02:30so, we have to record the reasons in that.
02:32Going forward,
02:33that 184.3,
02:34Sir, you have given two votes to the Chief Justice of Pakistan,
02:38that you should appoint a person,
02:39a judge,
02:40as your deputy.
02:41In this country,
02:42the argument of bench fixing,
02:43you gave it to us.
02:44No, Sir,
02:45you used to say,
02:46that there is bench fixing.
02:47What is bench fixing?
02:48That the Chief Justice,
02:49appoints a judge of his own will,
02:50who follows his own thinking,
02:51to sit with him.
02:52No, no,
02:53that is…
02:54If that was the case,
02:55this practice and procedure came to end this.
02:56No, no,
02:57look…
02:58And we used to say to those people,
02:59that it is a good thing,
03:00to do democracy,
03:01Supreme Court.
03:02Today,
03:03you have done this,
03:04that you have said to the Chief Justice,
03:05Sir,
03:06one person of your own will,
03:07one you.
03:08Now,
03:09two people together,
03:10wherever two people go,
03:11it will happen.
03:12Now,
03:13the decision of 63A will come.
03:14I will come back to this.
03:15Yes, yes.
03:16Mr. Zain Qureshi,
03:17how do you see this practice and procedure?
03:18Do you also see it correctly,
03:19that at that time,
03:20it was necessary,
03:21that there should be three judges.
03:22Now,
03:23it is necessary,
03:24that no, no.
03:25Now,
03:26there is no need for democracy,
03:27in the Supreme Court.
03:28Now,
03:29we need this.
03:30Look,
03:31Mr. Kashyap,
03:32you have made
03:33a very correct point,
03:34and I feel pity for
03:35Mr. Bilal Kiani.
03:36You have trapped him
03:37in such a difficult place,
03:38that he cannot even
03:39give the right answer,
03:40even if he wants to.
03:41Now,
03:42what is Bilal doing?
03:43He is doing the typical,
03:44Noon League thing,
03:45that he is going into pedantics,
03:46he is going into his details.
03:47Basically,
03:48Sir,
03:49this is a moral issue,
03:50and morally,
03:51Noon League has come
03:52on a very weak wicket.
03:53He has said in the forum,
03:54that those people are making noise,
03:55who did not want it before.
03:56Leave those people,
03:57brother,
03:58you talk about yourself,
03:59that what noise
04:00did you make?
04:01You amended the practice
04:02and procedure,
04:03you said,
04:04that one person
04:05should not have
04:06this power.
04:07Like,
04:08Mr. Kashyap just told everything,
04:09and you said,
04:10that three people
04:11should decide.
04:12What is happening today,
04:13Mr. Kashyap?
04:14Today,
04:15it is happening,
04:16that among those three judges,
04:17the senior puny judge,
04:18Mr. Mansoor Ali Shah,
04:19he is refusing to sit
04:20in the meeting,
04:21and he is giving
04:22a very strict reaction
04:23to that,
04:24and he is saying,
04:25that removing
04:26Justice Muneeb Akhtar,
04:27and putting in
04:28Justice Sabeen-ud-Din,
04:29why did you
04:30need this?
04:31If you said,
04:32Sir,
04:33we know why
04:34you needed this.
04:35that three people
04:36should decide,
04:37then you did
04:38that.
04:39At that time,
04:40there was no need.
04:41At that time,
04:42there was no need.
04:43At that time,
04:44there was no need.
04:45At that time,
04:46there was no need.
04:47At that time,
