The lawyer Jafferii says: “Gone is a small appearance of court order”, while lawyer Rahim says that IHC has “re -burnished his reputation for judicial independence.”
The members of the Legal Fraternity expressed solidarity on Friday with the five judges of the Superior Court of Islamabad (IHC) – Justices Mohsin Akhtar Kayani, Babar Sattar, Tariq Mahmood Jahangiri, Saman Riffat Imtiaz and Ejaz Ishaq – who presented separate requests in the Supreme Court (SC) in several problems against their problems. From the composition of banks to the lists and case transfers.
Requests, available with Dawn.comCall Al IHC, the president of the Supreme Court of IHC, Sardar Muhammad Sarfraz, and the Pakistan Federation as respondents and have been presented under article 184 (3) of the Constitution.
The lawyer Rida Hossain said in X that the petition was an act of “independent judges that struggled.”
“The president of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, Yahya Afridi, gave his consent for the transfer of judges, including (IHC President of the Supreme Court) Dogar, to the IHC and ‘well received’ the transfer,” said Hossain.
“Meanwhile, the milestones of the President of the Supreme Court Dogar include suspending and obstructing the judges of their judicial duties,” he added.
ABDUL MOIZ JAFERII Supreme Court lawyer, speaking with Dawn.com On the development, he said: “The review with the constitutional order with the 26th amendment and the last transfer event of a Lahore judge to the Superior Court of Islamabad, to which they asked us to rejoice, is being fruitful.”
“Gone there is a small appearance of court order”
“Behind was a small appearance of court order. All this could have been prevented from happening if the Supreme Court and our superior lords had joined when the amendment was approved on night of the night,” said Jaferii.
“It could have been corrected if the Supreme Court had intervened in a timely manner once the amendment was challenged,” he added.
“The desire is to undress the will of the people, less than our Supreme Court and its constitutional banks see their own impotent future in the faces of these five brave judges, we will get more of them in the future,” added the defender.
Lawyer Asad Rahim Khan said Dawn.com: “At a time of such a widespread regression for the legal system, the Superior Court of Islamabad has again provided its reputation for judicial independence.”
“The requests of the five judges require an immediate resolution by the Supreme Court, given how much recent verdicts have reduced the autonomy of the Judiciary,” he added.
Taking X, the lawyer Rabbiya Bajwa, former vice president of the Law Association of the Superior Court of Lahore, said: “The brave and main judges of the Superior Court of Islamabad are firm against all probabilities.
“We are not disappointed, since they represent the true face of the Judiciary for which we strive in Pakistan. Live the resistance.”
Article 184 (3) establishes the original jurisdiction of the SC and allows it to assume jurisdiction in matters that involve a matter of “public importance” with reference to the “application of any of the fundamental rights” of the citizens of Pakistan.
In their requests, the judges moved the SC to declare that the administrative powers could not “deploy to undermine or overcome the judicial powers” of the judges of the Superior Court.
In addition, they asked the Apex court to declare that a president of the Superior Court “was not authorized to constitute banks or transfer cases” once a bank of the Superior Court was assigned.
Today’s development has once again highlighted deep cracks within the IHC, which won prominence when the Justice Dogar was appointed as the president of the Superior Court.
The fissures in the Superior Court date back to March of last year, when in a surprising letter written to the members of the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC), the five IHC judges, together with Judge Arbab Muhammad Tahir, accused the country’s intelligence apparatus in judicial matters, including the attempts of the pressure judges through the abduction and torture of their relative and their relative.
