00:00Today, we saw a meeting of the Supreme Judicial Council.
00:03Regarding Judicial Commission Mujawidza Rules 2024,
00:06Chief Justice Pakistan Qazi Faiz Issa Sahib,
00:08under the leadership of the Judicial Commission,
00:10we saw that all the senior judges were present.
00:13The rules were reviewed,
00:15in which the judges' statements are made,
00:17and in the High Courts,
00:18the statements were also reviewed.
00:20On this occasion, we heard that
00:22Justice Muneeb Akhtar Sahib and the Attorney General
00:24also had a dialogue.
00:25Muneeb Akhtar Sahib left this meeting.
00:27Mr. Asnath Malik, let's start with
00:29the Government's bill.
00:31Apparently, they claim that they have the numbers.
00:33Yesterday and day before yesterday, there was a meeting.
00:35Just now, Tariq Fazal Chaudhary Sahib said
00:37that tomorrow, at least, the bill is not coming.
00:39What will be the procedure?
00:40He says that he will complete the number game,
00:42but tomorrow, the bill, do you have any suggestions
00:44that it may come?
00:46I don't think that the numbers are complete.
00:48Even in the Senate, if we get the numbers of
00:50Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman,
00:51first of all, what is Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman
00:53supporting?
00:54If he supports, then in the Senate,
00:56even then, the required number is 64.
00:58How will it be completed?
01:00The Supreme Court's judgment on 63A
01:02is in the field.
01:04If the second party's vote comes from
01:06PTI or some other party,
01:08then it will not be counted.
01:10But that will be a challenge later.
01:12No, the judgment is of the Supreme Court.
01:14How can it be like this?
01:16No, the free people.
01:18It is a matter of the National Assembly.
01:20Even there, the numbers are less.
01:22If we do it from there also,
01:24then it is not that easy.
01:26There is also information that
01:28if it comes from the government,
01:30then the cabinet will talk about it.
01:32The bill will be approved by the cabinet
01:34and then it will go to the Assembly.
01:36And then, generally,
01:38this is a constitutional amendment.
01:40We see that the committee also
01:42thinks about it.
01:44It is still being told that
01:46the draft has not been shared anywhere.
01:48This proposed suggestion,
01:50none of us,
01:52even yesterday,
01:54the legal side of the GUEF,
01:56Senator Kamran Muzza,
01:58he was saying that
02:00he spoke to the government
02:02to show us the draft.
02:04The draft is not available.
02:06So, till now, it seems that
02:08because of the reserve seat,
02:10the detailed judgment that was
02:12to be issued on July 12,
02:14and it is likely that it will come next week,
02:16before that,
02:18it seems that
02:20there is a lot of pressure.
02:22And if this amendment
02:24is such that
02:26many things,
02:28legal questions will arise,
02:30then it will come to the Supreme Court
02:32and it will be a challenge.
02:34A new chapter will begin.
02:36So, right now,
02:38one thing is that the government
02:40is more focused on the reserve seat.
02:42The second thing is that there should be
02:44a detailed judgment on the reserve seat.
02:46And in the review,
02:48they should overturn it
02:50or make it mild
02:52so that the government can take
02:54two-thirds in the National Assembly and Senate.
02:56So, they are more focused on that.
02:58But Javed, it is very interesting
03:00that at least the government members
03:02are acknowledging this.
03:04First of all, the Chief Justice's
03:06speech will be done from the panel
03:08of five members.
03:10Then the posting and transfer of
03:12judges from one court to another
03:14will be done.
03:16They are saying that
03:18there is a lot of burden of cases.
03:20These are just a few.
03:22Apart from this, is there anything else?
03:24There is information that
03:26Islamabad has come to the court
03:28and a federal court has been made.
03:30These are suggestions.
03:32The government people used to say
03:34that first, the procedure of changing
03:36the appointment of judges should be changed.
03:38In that, the Parliamentary Committee
03:40and the Judicial Commission should
03:42form a forum.
03:44The Chief Justice has also beaten
03:46the people.
03:48Is there any technical problem
03:50in the selection of the Chief Justice
03:52from the panel?
03:54It is said that
03:56when the Judicial Commission
03:58deliberated on the proposal
04:00of the Rules Committee,
04:02there was a consensus
04:04that there should be
04:06three names for the Chief Justice
04:08of the High Court.
04:10So, if there are three names
04:12for the Chief Justice of the High Court,
04:14then it is fine.
04:16But the Supreme Court will also
04:18ask why there are only five names
04:20for the Chief Justice.
04:22The government does not want
04:24three names.
04:26So, it seems that
04:28these are just discussions.
04:30On the other hand,
04:32it is more likely that
04:34if Qazi Faisal is not notified
04:36and all the judges' retirement age
04:38is not increased,
04:40then the Chief Justice
04:42should be notified.
04:44Even if there is an amendment
04:46to the rules,
04:48the government will not
04:50be notified.
04:52The government has been
04:54trying for a long time
04:56to talk informally
04:58to the Chief Justice.
05:00Is there any breakthrough
05:02in this?
05:04If there was a breakthrough,
05:06there would be a notification.
05:08But the government is still trying.
05:10Thank you very much.
