"Jo Log Bhi Mulavis Thay Judges ko Fori Toheen e Adalat Ka Notice Dena Chahiye tha" Shahzad Shaukat
Transcript
00:00 Before I move on to Shahbaz Khosla sahab,
00:04 tell me, if we view this case in the same way,
00:10 that 6 judges are talking and writing together,
00:15 this is a big issue, 6 judges are here, I don't know how many more will be there,
00:20 don't these judges have any authority in themselves to coerce them,
00:26 give them some contempt, why does Mr. Marwat from Pakistan Tariq-e-Insaf say that
00:30 they should have served a notice of contempt if someone was coercing them.
00:34 Look, the 6 judges are very respectable for me,
00:40 they have written in their letter that since there is no guidance in our Code of Conduct in this matter,
00:47 we are turning to the Supreme Judicial Council.
00:51 First of all, the Supreme Judicial Council is not an institution where this letter should have been addressed.
00:58 Now, it is written in the Code of Conduct that if extrajudicial pressure is put on the judge,
01:09 then he has the ability to answer it.
01:12 He has the authority of contempt of court in the eyes of Pakistan.
01:15 And anyway, for myself, I think that as soon as our esteemed judges faced this kind of intimidation,
01:24 they should have been given a notice of contempt of court immediately,
01:30 so that no one else would have the courage to do so.
01:34 But they kept silent for a year.
01:37 And now finally they have wrote a letter.
01:39 I think that all these things should be investigated now.
01:44 And if there is any impediment in pressurizing our judiciary,
01:48 then it should be taken to its logical conclusion.
01:52 For this, I think that we should let this commission work with a little patience.
01:58 Mr. Shahbaz Khosla, do you think that if the added step of the commission is done,
02:05 and then it goes to the Supreme Court, then there is no fun?
02:08 Why does Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf have so much disagreement with this in itself,
02:14 that there should not be any such commission?
02:17 Yes, Assalam-o-Alaikum. Thank you for having me.
02:20 And Jahangir Jadoon and Shehzad Shaukat are my presidents.
02:24 In their presence and in front of their opinion, my opinion is like lighting a lamp in front of the sun.
02:30 But I am also a member of the Supreme Court Bar.
02:35 Our friends have voted for us from different places.
02:38 Everyone has concerns. I will put their concerns in front of you.
02:42 The thing is that optics, the Supreme Court under 184(3) has immense powers to take notice on any issue of fundamental importance.
02:52 And as Mr. Jahangir Jadoon said that if you can take it on the tree of Mulberry in F9 Park,
02:58 then this is something that so many governments have been complaining about, but no judge has come forward at that time.
03:06 And here six judges, you are talking about the last letter,
03:12 there is a letter of 10th May 2023, and there are seven judges in it.
03:19 Then there are five judges who wrote this letter on 12th February 2024.
03:23 Then there is a letter of 25th March 2023, and there are six judges.
03:28 They have written many different letters and in each letter, many incidents have been quoted.
03:34 These are the judges against whom no proceedings are being carried out in any court,
03:38 no inquiry is being carried out against them in the Supreme Judicial Council,
03:41 there is no misconduct against them.
03:43 They are judges from different parts of Pakistan, and their character is beyond reproach.
03:50 They are still doing justice to people, we should not have any doubt on their words.
03:56 And what are they complaining about?
03:58 That intelligence agencies or whatever they are, their individual people are harassing them or intimidating them.
04:06 And in the Code of Conduct, they asked for clarity from the Chief Justice.
04:09 Now when this came to the knowledge of the Chief Justice,
04:12 then with great regret, I was very sorry as a student of law and as a professional of the Supreme Court,
04:19 I received many calls from people asking me to raise my voice in this matter,
04:23 because they voted for me and elected me.
04:26 It is necessary for the Chief Justice to show his clarity to the court beyond reproach.
04:41 And what could be more important than this, what is happening to their own judges?
04:47 Now if they are putting this matter in front of such a person, then other political parties will talk about it.
04:54 In the case of Hudebiya Paper Mills, one bench decided to listen to this case.
05:01 And when it came to the bench of Qazi Sahib, in which he was a junior judge,
05:05 then he made it a limitation case, and beneficiaries were Shahbaz Sharif Sahib,
05:12 and Shahbaz Sharif Sahib was a member of the Parliament.
05:17 I understand, but if we go towards the political side,
05:21 if we start going towards the political side of the judges, then a very big Pandora's Box will open.
05:27 See, this should not be a political matter at all.
