00:00Viewers, today we have a joint announcement of Islamabad High Court, Bar Association and Islamabad Bar.

00:06Apart from the judges of Islamabad High Court, they have demanded not to appoint any other judge as Chief Justice.

00:12If the Chief Justice is appointed from the judges of Islamabad High Court,

00:16there will be an attack on the freedom and autonomy of the court.

00:19This is their joint announcement.

00:21And the advisers will start the convention and the formal movement.

00:26This is the story.

00:28Mr. Chaudhary, I would like to ask Mr. Hassan about the transfer of Mr. Sirfaz Dogar from Lahore High Court.

00:41Article 200 of the Pakistan Constitution allows it.

00:45This is not an unnecessary thing.

00:47And it should be done.

00:49If there is a rotation, you have to give justice to the people.

00:54What is your condition?

00:56You have to decide according to the law.

00:58You should not be concerned about serving here or Lahore.

01:02You should also go to Balochistan.

01:04The benches of Lahore High Court will be in Multan, Bahawalpur, Pindi.

01:11There will be a rotation everywhere.

01:13This is the only High Court in Islamabad.

01:16This is the principal seat.

01:18I think there should be a rotation.

01:20If you want to serve the whole country, your position is a constitutional post.

01:26You are a judge of a legal court.

01:28You should go to another court and serve.

01:31This should be done in the High Court.

01:33There should be no confusion.

01:34And regarding Justice Sirfaz Dogar.

01:37If there is a demand for justice beyond Balochistan, it should be done there.

01:41I think two judges will come.

01:43Not just from Lahore.

01:44A judge from Sindh High Court will also come.

01:46This is my information.

01:47A judge from Lahore and a judge from Sindh High Court will come.

01:49And Chief Justice will not be the senior most.

01:52He will be one of the three.

01:53He should not be a threat.

01:55That is the will of the government.

01:56Of course, the executive has a majority.

01:58Viewers, Hassan mentioned the oath.

02:01So, regarding the sanctity of the oath,

02:03Today, Respected Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, Senior Peonate Judge,

02:07He delivered a speech in Karachi.

02:10What did he say?

02:11When a man takes an oath,

02:13he is holding his own self in his own hand like water.

02:17And if he opens his fingers,

02:18then he needn't hope to find himself again.

02:44But don't leave the oath.

02:45I remember Iqbal.

02:47He spoke very well.

02:49I would like to recite a couplet.

02:51Both of them have departed.

02:53In the same space,

02:55Kargaz, which is called a vulture,

02:57Kargaz's world is different.

02:59Shaheen's world is different.

03:01Kargaz's world is different.

03:03Shaheen's world is different.

03:04And, of course, Senior Peonate Judge,

03:06Respected Judge Mansoor Ali Shah,

03:07Respected Judge Gulamshan.

03:08In the case of the High Court,

03:10the decision was made on behalf of the 16 and 13 judges.

03:13In the whole country,

03:15in Pakistan,

03:16obviously, the whole country is under it.

03:18So, when a decision was made through the Parliament

03:21that mutual consent,

03:23Chief Justice Muthalqa,

03:25so if it is transferred,

03:27then there is no problem.

03:28So, what is it, Mr. Gulamshan?

03:30What is the argument in this?

03:32So, what was the problem before

03:34that you are now removing it?

03:36You are creating a mess.

03:38It should be that at the lower level,

03:40where the judiciary is functional

03:44up to the headquarters,

03:46and no one has to come to Islamabad,

03:48Lahore or Karachi.

03:50But what is this,

03:52that judges will be taken from Lahore to Islamabad.

03:56So, what is the fault of the competent judges

03:58of Islamabad?

04:00So, this is more, more,

04:02I still don't understand,

04:04like I said about PIKA,

04:06I still don't understand

04:08what they want to achieve.

04:10Neither the results of the 26th Tarweem,

04:14nor the things they are doing now,

04:16they have gone astray,

04:18that is,

04:20they have assumed

04:22that they will sit till the Day of Judgment

04:24and no one will ask.

04:26So, they are sadly mistaken.

04:28There is a counter-argument on this.

04:30I will come.

04:32There is a counter-argument.

04:34We have to move to the next story.

04:36There is a counter-argument

04:38that there is provincial autonomy.

04:40All the branches of the Supreme Court

04:42work in the country.

04:44The provincial high courts

04:46should be within the province.
