00:07He held a full-court meeting.
00:10His statement was presented to us.
00:12Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, who is now a senior judge, a senior penal judge, was outside the country.
00:19He also participated in the video.
00:23During the meeting, whatever was discussed, the statement has been presented to us.
00:31The main focus is pending cases, which are 59,191, which is a large number.
00:41Along with this, the statement also says that
00:59Now, a very important point here is that civil and criminal cases are obvious.
01:05The current Chief Justice or the Supreme Court can work.
01:09Who will tell the legal matters, how will they be interpreted from these 60,000 cases?
01:17How will they be separated?
01:19Raja Mohsin, our special correspondent, covers the Supreme Court.
01:22We know the situation of today's meeting from him.
01:25Thank you very much, Mohsin.
01:26First of all, tell me how many judges participated in this meeting today?
01:32And what was the focus of the meeting?
02:02There is a tendency to reduce the number of cases.
02:04To reduce this, we had to consider the various steps and recommendations of the judge and other recommendations in this regard.
02:13First of all, the Supreme Court briefed the judge on the cases.
02:21And the judge was told that more than 69,100 cases are currently under investigation in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
02:29Along with this, the case management system prepared by Justice Mansoor Ali Shah has also been discussed.
02:36And it has been said that it will be implemented for a month.
02:42Then there is a two-month plan.
02:44Then there is a three-month plan.
02:46Okay, I understand this.
02:47The next meeting is scheduled for 2 December.
02:50Now, you have pointed out two important issues.
02:53Why were the ad-hoc judges appointed by the former Chief Justice not invited to the full court meeting?
03:01What are your sources telling us?
03:03According to the sources, there are not many details about this.
03:09But you know that the ad-hoc judges were initially appointed for a year.
03:16When they were appointed by the former Chief Justice, Qazi Faiz Issa.
03:21They were appointed by the Judicial Commission of Pakistan.
03:24And they were not invited to this meeting.
03:28This also has its own significance.
03:30And you will have to see.
03:32Because there is nothing in Alamiya regarding this.
03:35Why were the ad-hoc judges not invited to this full court meeting?
03:37We will find out in the coming days.
03:39The next question is that these 60,000 pending cases.
03:42Obviously, you are going to form constitutional benches.
03:45We will talk about that in the second part of the program.
03:47How will it be determined that in these 60,000 pending cases.
03:51Which as per Article 26 of the Constitution.
03:54Stand transferred to the constitutional benches.
03:58Which are yet to be formed.
03:59How will its determination be in the Supreme Court?
04:02Did you talk about this full court meeting today?
04:05Look, the case management system will be further upgraded.
04:11And IT will also be helped in this regard.
04:14And we have seen that when this amendment was passed.
04:17And after that, the last 4-5 working days.
04:20During those days when the cases continued to be closed.
04:23Whenever there is a legal or legal question in any case.
04:29Justice Mansoor Ali Shah or Justice Ayesha Malik.
04:33Justice Yahya Afridi Yusuf.
04:35Judge Supreme Court of Pakistan.
04:36Thank you very much Raja Bhushan for explaining everything.
