00:00The country's largest court has given justice to former Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto after 45 years in the Tehrir-e-Rai.
00:07The Supreme Court has acquitted itself of a major allegation by admitting the court's mistake.
00:12The Supreme Court has also answered the questions raised on the defects of the justice system and the court's role.
00:20The Supreme Court's nine-member bench has given its opinion on the reference issued by President Wali Zardari after 13 years.
00:26The Supreme Court raised five questions on the murder of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.
00:32The first question was, was the trial of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's murder in accordance with the fundamental human rights of the constitution?
00:37The second question was, will the Supreme Court's decision to sentence Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto to death be applicable to the Supreme Court and all the high courts?
00:45And if not, what will be the consequences of this decision?
00:48The third question from the court was, was Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's death sentence a fair decision?
00:53Was the decision to sentence Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto to death not a fair decision?
00:56The fourth question from the court was, was the death sentence given to Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in accordance with the Quranic injunctions?
01:03And the fifth question was, was the evidence and testimony given against Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto enough to sentence him to death?
01:11The Supreme Court's opinion on these five questions has come forward after 13 years.
01:15And this Supreme Court's opinion is of great significance.
01:19In its written opinion, the court has said that the decisions of the Lahore High Court and the Supreme Court at that time were not fair.
01:26And the Supreme Court did not give Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto a fair and just trial.
01:30And the innocent person was hanged without a just trial.
01:34In the opinion of the Supreme Court's 48 pages, it has been said that the case against Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was not in the same position as the courts at that time.
01:45And when the case was run, there was martial law in the country at that time.
01:48The courts of the country and its courts were under martial law at that time.
01:51And the courts of the judge who took the oath of loyalty to Amir were no longer the courts of the people.
01:56In the written opinion of the Supreme Court, it has been said that the direct benefit of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's death sentence was given to Amir Sadr Zia-ul-Haq at that time.
02:04If Zulfiqar Bhutto had been released, he could have filed a serious case of treason against Zia-ul-Haq.
02:09And Zia-ul-Haq's own survival was also possible with this decision.
02:13Otherwise, his own power would also be in danger.
02:16In the opinion of the Supreme Court, it has been said that on 5 July 1977, Army Chief General Zia-ul-Haq ended the democratic government and imposed martial law.
02:23The investigation into the murder of Ahmed Raza Khan was closed on 3 May 1974.
02:28And then the investigation into the murder of Ahmed Raza Khan was reopened on the verbal orders of the Director of the FIA.
02:34On 18 September 1977, in Hatmi Chalan, Masood Mehmood and Mian Mehmood Abbas were declared as sultan witnesses.
02:41And according to the detailed opinion, the individual was arrested on 11 October 1977.
02:45The accused refused to commit the crime.
02:47Till 25 February 1978, the High Court heard the case as a trial court.
02:52Only 4 witnesses of this indictment were martyred.
02:57The decision was preserved on 2 March 1978 and was heard after 16 days.
03:01And in this decision, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was sentenced to death and 12 years imprisonment under the conspiracy of killing, murder and murder.
03:11In the Supreme Court's decision, it has been said that the High Court did not have the right to trial the case of murder.
03:17There is no such example in the history of Pakistan where the High Court has tried murder.
03:22The High Court has never tried anything like this before or after this trial.
03:26According to the court, the historical facts are that the Chief Justice of Lahore High Court, Maulvi Mushtaq Hussain,
03:33was sentenced to death by the Panch Rukni Bench.
03:36Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto had opposed this decision from the Supreme Court
03:40and in the presence of the Chief Justice of Pakistan, Justice Anwar-ul-Haq,
03:43the Panch Rukni Bench of the Supreme Court, Saat Rukni,
03:46dismissed Bhutto's appeal and the Panch Rukni of the Supreme Court, Saat Rukni,
03:49opposed this appeal in the presence of 4 judges.
03:52In this decision, 3 judges had declared Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto innocent.
03:57And then, the Panch Rukni of the Supreme Court, Saat Rukni,
03:59unanimously opposed Bhutto's appeal.
04:02The person who was the Prime Minister of the country,
04:04was deprived of the right to appeal on the basis of the serious allegations of murder and the court's multiple decisions.
04:09The Supreme Court has also written in its written opinion,
04:13that Justice Mushtaq Hussain has signed Bhutto's death warrant.
04:17And the court wants to make it clear that the court did not hear Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's appeal.
04:22In the written opinion, it has also been said that there is no way in the law
04:26to sentence Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto to death.
04:29According to Article 186 of the Judicial Reference,
04:32Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was sentenced to death on the basis of the right to appeal.
04:39The Supreme Court has also written in its written opinion,
04:41that there have been some incidents in our judicial history
04:45that have created an impression in the public that fear or someone's support
04:49has come in the way of our justice.
04:52We have to face our past mistakes and errors with the passion of economics.
04:58We have to make it clear that justice will be served with impartiality,
05:03honesty and loyalty to the law.
05:06And until we accept our past mistakes,
05:09we cannot correct ourselves, nor can we move in the right direction.
05:13The Supreme Court could not conclude this case for 11 years.
05:17Then a surprising bench was formed and an official and significant opinion came forward.
05:21But the court did not answer this question in its written opinion,
05:24whether the decision is legal or not.
05:27However, this opinion of the court has not only admitted a serious mistake of history,
05:33but also corrected the history by giving justice to the martyred people after 45 years.
05:39But for those who believe that Bhutto was martyred,
05:41and for the nation, even after this written opinion,
05:44there is nothing left but disappointment and regret.
05:47That the Prime Minister of this country was put on the throne through an unjust trial.
05:52And then 45 years have passed for the courts to accept and correct this mistake.
05:57Despite the serious admission of the court,
06:00questions are still being raised on the system of justice.
06:04A former Prime Minister is now in jail in Adiala,
06:07and is expressing his disdain for the current Chief Justice of Pakistan.
06:10In the case of the special sessions,
06:12the Supreme Court's own judge, Justice Athar Minnallah,
06:14is complaining that there is no compliance with the law.
06:16Athar Minnallah has said that there is no compliance with the law today.
06:19We will have answers for today's human rights violations.
06:23We cannot close our eyes as the Supreme Court.
06:26According to Justice Athar Minnallah, we have buried our heads in the sand as the Supreme Court.
06:30Justice Athar Minnallah has also said that everyone talks about the past.
06:33Why don't you talk about today?
06:35And in response to this, Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Isa leaves this matter on history,
06:39saying that history is the best teacher.
