00:00Because if the government doesn't change the Judicial Commission's identity,
00:06then Mansoor Ali Shah will become the Chief Justice,
00:09Muneeb Akhtar will not go with the government,
00:12or even Mr. Afridi, you know, they are people who go straight and narrow.
00:16Okay, many people can object to Amiruddin Khan,
00:19Mandu Khayal's right and left, whatever.
00:23So, the judge to be appointed is also CJ.
00:28So, numerically...
00:58It is written that if you appoint an army chief,
01:02according to the standard,
01:04after the appointment,
01:06if there is an extension,
01:08or re-employment,
01:10or some other status,
01:12then if that status has to be changed,
01:16then the Prime Minister will not do it,
01:18but a committee,
01:20a parliamentary committee,
01:22will decide and send their recommendations to the President,
01:26and they will follow them.
01:28The Prime Minister has left the middle.
01:30The government drafts are also somewhat similar.
01:32Why has this come out of the blue?
01:36Do you think you are understanding the context?
01:42Of course, we are.
01:44See, the whole issue is this.
01:46In our country,
01:48every two and a half years,
01:50there is an uproar,
01:52that every army chief starts running for the extension,
01:58and the government and the opposition
02:00start contacting each other.
02:02So, our country has been around this extension for 40 years.
02:06The entire political system
02:08follows the extension.
02:10So, either you reject this extension,
02:12completely end it,
02:14which apparently people think
02:16that their wings are on fire,
02:18they cannot do such a thing,
02:20so apparently,
02:22there is an assurance,
02:24a guarantee,
02:26that once you get the extension,
02:28even if there is a change in the government,
02:30that extension will not be ended,
02:32and it will be very difficult to end it,
02:34so that the people sitting here,
02:36whoever they are,
02:38whether it is today,
02:40or three to four years later,
02:42at least after getting the extension,
02:44they will be satisfied,
02:46and the uproar,
02:48the chaos,
02:50will stop.
02:52So, we will have to understand
02:54the matter of this extension.
02:56Our entire political system
02:58revolves around this extension.
03:00So, will you support Maulana Sahab on this?
03:04Will you support him on this?
03:08Look, again,
03:10I am saying that we will not vote
03:12for anything.
03:14No, I am asking for support,
03:16Look, I see a clarity in this,
03:18in this,
03:20the thing is that
03:22whoever is in office,
03:24he is getting a kind of
03:26protection,
03:28that if you get your extension,
03:30or your appointment is done,
03:32then it will not be easily
03:34rejected, denotified,
03:36you will not be at the
03:38request of a Prime Minister,
03:40so it is fine,
03:42to give protection to people
03:44and to reduce the chaos,
03:46so it is fine,
03:48we can focus on this.
03:50And 184,
03:52the draft of the government
03:54states that the powers of 184
03:56will go to the Constitutional
03:58Bench.
04:00Fine, fine.
04:02There is no argument in this,
04:04if the Constitutional Bench
04:06has to look at the legal matters,
04:08then 184.3 states that
04:10it is a matter of public importance
04:12that the constitutional rights
04:14that are given in the Constitution
04:16are taken care of,
04:18so it is a matter of the Constitution.
04:20When you have made the Constitutional
04:22Bench, then this matter should
04:24go there.
04:26But if this stand-alone
04:28bench is in the middle,
04:30don't you think that
04:32a court within a court
04:34is not being made in the name
04:36of a bench?
04:38No, look,
04:40this is happening in India
04:42for the past 9 years,
04:44and this is a good experience
04:46that has been proved.
04:48And this bench,
04:50there is no clarity
04:52that if this bench
04:54makes a decision,
04:56let's say if it is a 5 member
04:58bench,
05:00then will there be
05:02an appeal of the Supreme Court
05:04that what should happen,
05:06that what happened,
05:08that is the finality of it?
05:12Look, if they have to
05:14give an appeal,
05:16at the moment,
05:18it is obvious that
05:20they have given an appeal
05:22through the Practice and
05:24Procedure Act,
05:26then they will have to
05:28have the opportunity
05:30that if an appeal
05:32has to be made
05:34against the Supreme Court
05:36then it has to be
05:38against the Supreme Court.
05:40This is an invention
05:42that an appeal should be
05:44made against the Supreme Court
05:46in a bigger bench.
05:48In my opinion,
05:50this appeal should not
05:52be made.
05:54When you have created
05:56that bench with so much
05:58hesitation,
06:00then its decisions
06:02should be considered
06:04before making
06:06a decision.
06:34I am saying that
06:36there was no appeal
06:38before last year.
06:40Before 2023,
06:42when a 3 member bench
06:44of the Supreme Court
06:46used to make a decision,
06:48it used to be final.
06:50The decision of a 5 member
06:52bench used to be final.
06:54We will go back to
06:56where we were in
06:582022 or
07:002023.
07:02Do you see the case of
07:04General Faiz Ameer
07:06going to the military court?
07:08Yesterday,
07:10Mohsin Beg came to my program.
07:12He said that the decision
07:14of General Faiz Ameer
07:16will be made in 15 days.
07:18Then you will see
07:20where these things
07:22go.
07:24What is your assessment?
07:26Do you think that
07:28he will go to the military
07:30court?
07:32We can understand that
07:34he will go to the military
07:36court.
07:38Right now,
07:40a bench of the Supreme
07:42Court has decided
07:44that a civilian trial
07:46cannot take place
07:48in the military court.
07:50The appeal of the government
07:52against that decision
07:54is going on in front
07:56of the bench of
07:58the Supreme Court.
