00:00Now, dear chairman, the Judicial Commission will now make the nominations.

00:09Because what happened to us in the past,

00:12that we have made many decisions in this Parliamentary Committee with 8-0, with 100% consensus.

00:22And the painful thing is that those decisions were challenged in the High Court,

00:31where the nomination was made.

00:34The decision of consensus of 8 parliamentarians was thrown aside by a judge

00:43and an order was given to make this appointment.

00:46So, to end all this, to bring transparency in the appointment of judges,

00:53all the members will sit in one place

00:57and the Judiciary, Parliament, Executive and Stakeholders will sit in one commission

01:06and decide with a majority vote.

01:10Dear chairman, not here.

01:13After the appointment, we saw this and this complaint is very common that justice is not given on time.

01:19The dates are given. Leftovers are made.

01:22The appeals of life imprisonment and death penalty remain in the High Court for 8-8 years.

01:27Civil, Diwani cases remain pending in the High Court for 14-14, 20-20, 25-25 years.

01:32For this reason, our ranking is very low internationally. I will not mention it.

01:40A mechanism was introduced that the Judicial Commission of Pakistan,

01:45which has the authority to appoint judges, should also have the authority to evaluate their performance.

01:54And after confirmation, the judges of the High Court,

01:59the work that is assigned to them,

02:04which should be their regular and government responsibility,

02:10like in other services,

02:13for that, the same Judicial Commission of Pakistan was given the authority

02:18that it should set a uniform standard through its rules and should be evaluated according to it.

02:27And if there are any judges who have issues in terms of performance and efficiency,

02:35they should report to the Supreme Judicial Council, which is the institution of judging.

02:43Mr. Chairman, apart from this, the Judicial Commission of Pakistan itself,

02:51which is being introduced in this, of the Judicial Benches,

02:56the nomination of the Judicial Benches, which is fixed in the Supreme Court of Pakistan,

03:02will also be done by the Judicial Commission of Pakistan,

03:06so that this function, which we think should be in the institution,

03:12that function should be discharged there.

03:15This matter started with the Judicial Benches,

03:19in the Charter of Democracy of 2006,

03:23major political parties signed on it,

03:26Mr. Benazir Bhutto and Mr. Mian Nawaz Sharif,

03:30and this was a pending agenda,

03:37on which the Chairman of the Pakistan People's Party, Mr. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, raised his voice this time,

03:42and he said that if we are going to have a regular meeting,

03:45then we should also establish a regular court.

03:47This was done by many stakeholders.

03:49I myself presented in front of the Judicial Benches.

03:51I had an interaction for four and a half hours.

03:53I asked for suggestions from them.

03:55A committee was formed.

03:57They said that you should make it.

04:00They said that you should keep the same age limit as that of the Supreme Court,

04:07so that no one can see any favor or anything like that.

04:10Although I am on record,

04:12the propaganda that was made,

04:14the narrative that was made,

04:16that our current Chief Justice,

04:18Mr. Qazi Faiz Issa Sahib,

04:20may be being appointed.

04:23I have said this on record.

04:25I will repeat it again today.

04:26I have the trust.

04:28In my official capacity,

04:30I have had three meetings with him in these six months.

04:32He told me every time that he is not interested in any kind of extension.

04:38He will complete his term and leave.

04:40If you want to appoint a tenure,

04:42if you want to appoint a panel,

04:44if you want to make a new court,

04:46if you want to do anything,

04:48then it will be implemented after me.

04:50I am not interested in the extension of the tenure.

04:57Mr. Chairman,

04:59an amendment has been proposed in the Supreme Court

05:03in reference to the regular benches.

05:08So that the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court,

05:13which has been misused in the past,

05:18I will say this with courage and regret,

05:22and there is a person-to-person difference,

05:25that one Chief Justice came,

05:27he opened the doors,

05:29and in hundreds of cases,

05:31there were many cases,

05:33which were brought to the court.

05:35There were some cases,

05:37in which there was complete peace.

05:39In the decisions,

05:41we saw that there was a contradiction.

05:43Sir,

05:45using the power of Article 184,

05:47and using other regulatory powers,

05:51I will not stop saying this with regret.

05:54Our Supreme Court

05:56sent the elected Prime Minister of crores of Pakistan

06:00to his home.

06:02Mr. Chairman,

06:04you yourself were a victim of this.

06:06The way Qaed Muslim League Noon

06:08was sent to Mr. Nawaz Sharif's home,

06:10the same way is in Article 95,

06:12to dismiss the Prime Minister.

06:14And we adopted that.

06:16And with the power of vote,

06:18we changed the Prime Minister in 2022.

06:20But we do not believe in this judicial method.

06:23We do not believe in the cases

06:25that take place behind closed doors.

06:29Keeping these complaints in view,

06:31and learning from history,

06:33Mr. Chairman,

06:35our friends,

06:37Mr. Kamran Murtaza,

06:39who came to the house,

06:41he knows better.

06:43There was an engagement

06:45in Karachi,

06:47after which

06:49the second session

06:51was held in Lahore.

06:53Mr. Nawaz Sharif invited everyone,

06:55including the President of Pakistan,

06:57the Prime Minister of Pakistan,

06:59and others.

07:01And it was decided

07:03that instead of a legal court,

07:05legal benches should be established

07:07within the court.

07:09Mr. Chairman,

07:11an important thing

07:13that they did here

07:15is that Article 63.1

07:17was removed from the amendment.

07:19Sanjay Sadhwani

07:21will tell us more.
