00:00Chief Justice has been made permanent, Mr. Justice Sarfaraz Dogar.

00:05Mr. Mohsin Akhtar Kiani, you know that he was the Senior Peonate Judge.

00:09Because Aamir Farooq, who was the Chief Justice, he had to go to the Supreme Court.

00:13So, Mr. Mohsin was the Senior Peonate Judge.

00:15Then some judges came, Mr. Sarfaraz, who was more senior than him,

00:18they all went for a debate, whether to take an alif or not.

00:20After that, Mr. Sarfaraz became the Senior Peonate Judge.

00:22A few moments ago, this notification has come, according to which Mr. Mohsin Akhtar,

00:28You know that Mr. Sarfaraz Dogar was the Judge of my Tribunal.

00:33Which one? Election?

00:34The one which is not running.

00:36That Tribunal. Election Tribunal.

00:38Okay. He has come from Lahore High Court.

00:41And in Lahore High Court, his seniority was at 15th position.

00:46But here, he has come at the 2nd position.

00:48I don't know how.

00:49Because it is a transfer.

00:50So, in transfer, you get extra points.

00:53In transfer, you get extra points.

00:56I am not a legal expert.

00:58You get extra points.

00:59I don't know, Article 200, Article 194.

01:01These are just articles.

01:03So, Ayn is an additional reading of the course work.

01:08So, Ayn-e-Pakistan is an additional reading.

01:10It is not compulsory.

01:11Before that, since such an important news has come,

01:14I have to take permission from Mr. Malik in this development.

01:17And then I will do this.

01:20In fact, do we have Raja Mohsin with us?

01:22The court correspondent is with us.

01:23Mohsin, can you tell us what is written in the notification?

01:27The permanent Chief Justice will be there till the permanent appointment.

01:32I mean, I want to understand.

01:34It is not permanent.

01:35For a few days, for a few weeks.

01:36What is it? Please explain.

01:37The permanent Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court is appointed.

01:42And he will fulfill his responsibilities until the appointment of the permanent Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court.

01:49Justice Sarfaraz Dogar is among those judges who were transferred to Islamabad High Court.

01:55And along with this, a representation was also sent from the judges of Islamabad High Court.

02:02To the Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court.

02:04At that time, Chief Justice Amir Dogar.

02:07However, the notification of Chief Justice Amir Dogar to be transferred as a permanent Chief Justice has been issued by the Ministry of Justice.

02:17What is written in Mohsin, till appointment of regular Chief Justice.

02:21Acting Chief Justice will be there.

02:24What does this mean?

02:25When will the regular Chief Justice be appointed?

02:27Yes, exactly.

02:28Till appointment of regular Chief Justice has been appointed according to this notification.

02:34As per Article 196 of the Constitution, it has been appointed by the President of the country.

02:39When will the appointment of regular Chief Justice be made?

02:42Look, in this regard, the Chief Justice of Pakistan met with the journalists the other day.

02:48He said about the Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court that the Judicial Commission of Pakistan will be held in the future.

02:54This matter will be considered in that.

02:56And Justice Mia Gul Hasan Aurangzeb, who has been appointed as a permanent judge in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

03:04He also said about him that he is also a permanent Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court.

03:09And when this permanent Chief Justice will be appointed, he will also be considered.

03:14In this regard, the Judicial Commission of Pakistan can be called in the coming days.

03:19However, as Justice Mia Gul Hasan Aurangzeb has been appointed as a permanent judge in the Supreme Court,

03:26it is possible that the Judicial Commission will not be held in the near future.

03:32Thank you very much.

03:33So, Mr. Malik, it is also a possibility that the regular Chief Justice will also be appointed after the Judicial Commission is held.

03:42It is also possible, isn't it, Mr. Malik?

03:44Absolutely.

03:45Sir, it is also possible that you and I can also be appointed in this country.

03:48As the situation is going on.

03:50Exactly.

03:51None of us are disappointed.

03:54It was the obvious conclusion that who was the purpose of this fair?

03:58You bring the 15th number.

04:00Look, the biggest strength of any court of justice is its moral authority.

04:06Absolutely.

04:07Courts do not have the same police force as others have.

04:11There is moral authority.

04:12And the first step in moral authority is when you make it needlessly controversial.

04:17Now, there is a representation of five judges on this issue.

04:22Four judges have given their viewpoints in the Supreme Court case.

04:26Even the Chief Justice said this.

04:28He was talking about the journalist meeting.

04:31He said, I have given my mind.

04:33Transfer and seniority should not be mixed.

04:41So, everybody knows what has happened.

04:44But I think there is an unfortunate criminal silence.

04:49Our problem is that all our people are in power.

04:53They do not care about the long-term consequences of their actions.

04:58Everyone is looking at their own circle.

05:01What is my immediate future?

05:03How will my next two years, four years pass?

05:05What will happen to my career?

05:07Without realizing what the long-term damages will be for this country, for the system.

05:11You have made everything needlessly controversial.

05:14Elevation of judges to High Courts.

05:17Elevation of judges from High Courts to Supreme Courts.

05:20There was no need for this.

05:22Today, whether it is wrong or right,

05:24PTI has succeeded in selling a perception that court packing is happening.

05:29If you look at the Supreme Court, four Chief Justices have come.

05:32They should have come as it is.

05:34Two senior judges have come.

05:35But court packing is happening.

05:37Because sometimes you do the right thing the wrong way,

05:40it also has a loss.

05:42I would like to quickly finish one thing.

05:44The problem is that there is a conflict in our country,

05:47in which there are four parties.

05:49One is Judiciary.

05:50One is Executive.

05:51One is Imran Khan PTI.

05:53And one is Establishment.

05:55Judiciary does not have to talk to anyone.

05:58Their nature of operations is like this.

06:00Government does not want to talk to anyone

06:02because they are children of conflict.

06:04There is a conflict between Imran and Establishment.

06:06They are alive.

06:07Their work is going on.

06:08Two people have to talk to each other.

06:10When they do, mistrust will reduce.

06:12Then the matter will move forward.

06:14Otherwise, all these sideshows will continue to run.

06:16The system will continue to be destroyed.

06:18You will hear good things.

06:20You will like mega trends, economic, others.

06:24But when you,

06:25they say the devil lies in detail.

06:27When you synthesize them,

06:29then you will say that nothing has changed.

06:31So the real problem is there.
