00:00I would like to present the case of the biggest court in Pakistan to you.

00:03The case is that the Chief Justice of Pakistan used to make a bench

00:07for any case that would be heard in the Supreme Court.

00:09Let's keep the legal case brief again.

00:11It is called Practice and Procedure Act.

00:13After that, the Chief Justice of Pakistan and the two senior judges

00:17will form a committee on these three judges and they will make benches.

00:21In this, Mansoor Ali Shah Sahib, apart from Fahisa Sahib,

00:24Mansoor Ali Shah Sahib and Muneeb Akhtar Sahib came.

00:26Things got a little bad between them.

00:28After that, it happened and it seemed that Mansoor Sahib and Muneeb Akhtar Sahib

00:32are on one side and Fahisa Sahib is on the other side.

00:34After that, the President of Pakistan issued an ordinance

00:36that this committee will change its form.

00:38There will be a Chief Justice in it.

00:40Then there will be other senior judges,

00:42that is, Mansoor Ali Shah Sahib in this case.

00:44And whoever will be the third judge,

00:46that Chief Justice can make anyone of his choice.

00:48This ordinance came.

00:49After a while, Qazi Fahisa Sahib formed a new committee

00:51that I, Mansoor Ali Shah Sahib and Ameen Uddin Khan Sahib,

00:54who are the fifth senior most judges.

00:56Not Muneeb Sahib, not Yahya Sahib,

00:58but Ameen Uddin Khan Sahib.

01:00When this happened and the committee was discussed,

01:02Mansoor Ali Shah Sahib did not come to that discussion.

01:04Then Mansoor Ali Shah Sahib wrote a letter to Qazi Fahisa Sahib

01:06whose summary was that all this is very disappointing

01:09and I will not become a member of this committee

01:12until Muneeb Akhtar Sahib does not become a member of this committee.

01:15Today, Fahisa Sahib replied to this and published that letter.

01:18Now you see the content of that letter.

01:20Qazi Fahisa Sahib replied to Chief Justice Qazi Fahisa's letter

01:23to Justice Mansoor Ali Shah Sahib.

01:25And he spoke very strictly and directly.

01:27He addressed Mansoor Ali Shah Sahib and said

01:31that your letter was written to me and Justice Ameen Uddin Khan.

01:34Before us, the journalists had received it.

01:36He complained that he had written it to us,

01:38but before us, it had become the adornment of the media.

01:40Now you see what Qazi Sahib is saying to Mansoor Ali Shah Sahib

01:43that Justice Muneeb Akhtar Sahib,

01:45whom you strongly support,

01:47opposed this act.

01:49He is talking about the Practice and Procedure Act.

01:52When this was challenged in the court,

01:54Mansoor Shah Sahib supported it,

01:56and Muneeb Akhtar Sahib opposed it.

01:58So here he is referring to him and saying that

02:00Muneeb Akhtar Sahib, whom you strongly support,

02:02had previously opposed this act.

02:04Then Qazi Fahisa Sahib says that

02:06Justice Muneeb was appointed without fail

02:09in the special benches of the previous Chief Justice.

02:12Qazi Sahib is saying this to Mansoor Sahib.

02:14Then Shah Sahib is saying this.

02:16You had objected to me changing a member of this committee.

02:19That is, I had objected to Muneeb Sahib,

02:21you had an objection to this.

02:23You gave me the ultimatum that

02:25until Muneeb Akhtar does not return to the committee,

02:27you will not sit in this committee.

02:29Shah Sahib, this demand of yours is against the law.

02:31Chief Justice is saying to the senior judge

02:33that this demand of yours is against the law.

02:35In fact, further,

02:37legally, you cannot ask me

02:39which committee member should I nominate.

02:42Because the law gives me the right

02:44to nominate any member of the committee.

02:46But, because I believe in transparency,

02:48I will tell you why I did not nominate Muneeb Akhtar Sahib

02:51as a member of the committee.

02:53And after that,

02:55he says, remember,

02:57I am only doing this on your insistence.

02:59Otherwise, I am not at all bound

03:01to tell you the reasons.

03:03Then he told the reasons.

03:05He said, Justice Muneeb Sahib

03:07was one of the two judges

03:09who did not care about the burden of the case

03:11and took a leave.

03:13He insisted on attending the committee meetings.

03:15And the next senior judge,

03:17Justice Yahya,

03:19did not trust him.

03:21Then, Justice Muneeb Sahib says,

03:23Practice and Procedure Act says

03:25that all the urgent cases

03:27will be settled in 14 days.

03:29But, what did Justice Muneeb Sahib do?

03:31He refused to listen to the urgent legal cases

03:33and took a leave.

03:35So, he gave more leave.

03:37Then, he made another specific complaint.

03:39He said, his behaviour was very rude.

03:41Justice Muneeb Akhtar

03:43behaved rudely,

03:45improperly

03:47and inappropriately

03:49with the members of the committee.

03:51These are the reasons

03:53why Justice Muneeb Akhtar

03:55was removed from the committee.

03:57Justice Muneeb Akhtar's behaviour

03:59in the committee was inappropriate

04:01and he even walked out.

04:03The bench where Justice Muneeb used to sit,

04:05he used to finish his work before 11 o'clock

04:07and leave.

04:09Justice Muneeb Akhtar accused him

04:11of bypassing Justice Yahya Afridi

04:13and not making him a member of the committee.

04:15He said,

04:17if there was anyone

04:19who did not want Justice Yahya Afridi

04:21to become a member of the committee,

04:23it was not me,

04:25it was Justice Muneeb Akhtar.

04:27I had requested Justice Yahya Afridi

04:29for a meeting on 20th September,

04:31but he was not available.

04:33Justice Yahya Afridi is a senior judge

04:35than Aminuddin Khan.

04:37Justice Muneeb Akhtar objected to it

04:39and is now responding to it.

04:41He said,

04:43yesterday I requested Justice Yahya Afridi

04:45but he said he did not want to become

04:47a member of the committee.

04:49After that, I requested Justice Aminuddin Khan

04:51to cancel his tour of Lahore

04:53and become a member of the committee.

04:55He himself told the registrar

04:57that he was busy

04:59and the committee was dismissed.

05:01Two days later, he said

05:03he did not want to become a member of the committee.

05:05One more false accusation

05:07that he put on me was that

05:09I am running a one-man show

05:11and such things cannot change the facts.

05:13I did not want to count the good deeds

05:15that happened in the court,

05:17but now I have to do this

05:19to cancel a false statement.

05:21Then he counted the list of things

05:23that I did for the court.

05:25In the end, he said that

05:27despite all these things,

05:29your saying that the country is going through

05:31a legal crisis is a worrisome crime.

05:33He said such things

05:35can lead to political or economic downfall.

05:37Can I ask what benefit

05:39did your statements bring?

05:41Mr. Shah, the law allows me

05:43to appoint a judge

05:45in the committee.

05:47I have told you the reasons for this.

05:49However, it seems that

05:51all the judges are not the same in your opinion.

05:53I hope that now you will become a member

05:55of this committee and serve the people.

05:57You will do your part

05:59so that the court proceedings can be carried out properly.

06:01Since you had written your letter

06:03to the registrar,

06:05and I had not written it,

06:07and I had also sent the copy

06:09to the other colleagues,

06:11so now I have no choice

06:13but to cancel this false statement

06:15through my letter

06:17and send the copy

06:19to those people.

06:21Very straightforward,

06:23alarming,

06:25and there is no doubt

06:27that the Supreme Court

06:29and the judges

06:31of Pakistan

06:33are not the same.

06:35We will conclude after a short break.
