00:00Because if the government doesn't change the Judicial Commission's identity,

00:06then Mansoor Ali Shah will become the Chief Justice,

00:09Muneeb Akhtar will not go with the government,

00:12or even Mr. Afridi, you know, they are people who go straight and narrow.

00:16Okay, many people can object to Amiruddin Khan,

00:19Mandu Khayal's right and left, whatever.

00:23So, the judge to be appointed is also CJ.

00:28So, numerically...

00:58It is written that if you appoint an army chief,

01:02according to the standard,

01:04after the appointment,

01:06if there is an extension,

01:08or re-employment,

01:10or some other status,

01:12then if that status has to be changed,

01:16then the Prime Minister will not do it,

01:18but a committee,

01:20a parliamentary committee,

01:22will decide and send their recommendations to the President,

01:26and they will follow them.

01:28The Prime Minister has left the middle.

01:30The government drafts are also somewhat similar.

01:32Why has this come out of the blue?

01:36Do you think you are understanding the context?

01:42Of course, we are.

01:44See, the whole issue is this.

01:46In our country,

01:48every two and a half years,

01:50there is an uproar,

01:52that every army chief starts running for the extension,

01:58and the government and the opposition

02:00start contacting each other.

02:02So, our country has been around this extension for 40 years.

02:06The entire political system

02:08follows the extension.

02:10So, either you reject this extension,

02:12completely end it,

02:14which apparently people think

02:16that their wings are on fire,

02:18they cannot do such a thing,

02:20so apparently,

02:22there is an assurance,

02:24a guarantee,

02:26that once you get the extension,

02:28even if there is a change in the government,

02:30that extension will not be ended,

02:32and it will be very difficult to end it,

02:34so that the people sitting here,

02:36whoever they are,

02:38whether it is today,

02:40or three to four years later,

02:42at least after getting the extension,

02:44they will be satisfied,

02:46and the uproar,

02:48the chaos,

02:50will stop.

02:52So, we will have to understand

02:54the matter of this extension.

02:56Our entire political system

02:58revolves around this extension.

03:00So, will you support Maulana Sahab on this?

03:04Will you support him on this?

03:08Look, again,

03:10I am saying that we will not vote

03:12for anything.

03:14No, I am asking for support,

03:16Look, I see a clarity in this,

03:18in this,

03:20the thing is that

03:22whoever is in office,

03:24he is getting a kind of

03:26protection,

03:28that if you get your extension,

03:30or your appointment is done,

03:32then it will not be easily

03:34rejected, denotified,

03:36you will not be at the

03:38request of a Prime Minister,

03:40so it is fine,

03:42to give protection to people

03:44and to reduce the chaos,

03:46so it is fine,

03:48we can focus on this.

03:50And 184,

03:52the draft of the government

03:54states that the powers of 184

03:56will go to the Constitutional

03:58Bench.

04:00Fine, fine.

04:02There is no argument in this,

04:04if the Constitutional Bench

04:06has to look at the legal matters,

04:08then 184.3 states that

04:10it is a matter of public importance

04:12that the constitutional rights

04:14that are given in the Constitution

04:16are taken care of,

04:18so it is a matter of the Constitution.

04:20When you have made the Constitutional

04:22Bench, then this matter should

04:24go there.

04:26But if this stand-alone

04:28bench is in the middle,

04:30don't you think that

04:32a court within a court

04:34is not being made in the name

04:36of a bench?

04:38No, look,

04:40this is happening in India

04:42for the past 9 years,

04:44and this is a good experience

04:46that has been proved.

04:48And this bench,

04:50there is no clarity

04:52that if this bench

04:54makes a decision,

04:56let's say if it is a 5 member

04:58bench,

05:00then will there be

05:02an appeal of the Supreme Court

05:04that what should happen,

05:06that what happened,

05:08that is the finality of it?

05:12Look, if they have to

05:14give an appeal,

05:16at the moment,

05:18it is obvious that

05:20they have given an appeal

05:22through the Practice and

05:24Procedure Act,

05:26then they will have to

05:28have the opportunity

05:30that if an appeal

05:32has to be made

05:34against the Supreme Court

05:36then it has to be

05:38against the Supreme Court.

05:40This is an invention

05:42that an appeal should be

05:44made against the Supreme Court

05:46in a bigger bench.

05:48In my opinion,

05:50this appeal should not

05:52be made.

05:54When you have created

05:56that bench with so much

05:58hesitation,

06:00then its decisions

06:02should be considered

06:04before making

06:06a decision.

06:34I am saying that

06:36there was no appeal

06:38before last year.

06:40Before 2023,

06:42when a 3 member bench

06:44of the Supreme Court

06:46used to make a decision,

06:48it used to be final.

06:50The decision of a 5 member

06:52bench used to be final.

06:54We will go back to

06:56where we were in

06:582022 or

07:002023.

07:02Do you see the case of

07:04General Faiz Ameer

07:06going to the military court?

07:08Yesterday,

07:10Mohsin Beg came to my program.

07:12He said that the decision

07:14of General Faiz Ameer

07:16will be made in 15 days.

07:18Then you will see

07:20where these things

07:22go.

07:24What is your assessment?

07:26Do you think that

07:28he will go to the military

07:30court?

07:32We can understand that

07:34he will go to the military

07:36court.

07:38Right now,

07:40a bench of the Supreme

07:42Court has decided

07:44that a civilian trial

07:46cannot take place

07:48in the military court.

07:50The appeal of the government

07:52against that decision

07:54is going on in front

07:56of the bench of

07:58the Supreme Court.
