The CJP remarked: “We have decided that we will not hear the individual case related to the elections, we will hear the case related to the constitutional interpretation".


Islamabad: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa Friday decided that Supreme Court will not hear individual cases related to elections.
According to the details, the case of interpretation of Article 62-1F of the Constitution is being heard by a seven-member bench of the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice Qazi Faz Isa, comprising Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, Justice Yahya Afridi, Justice Amin-ud-Din Khan, Justice Jamal Mandukhail, Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar and Justice Musarat Hilali are also included.
When the hearing of the case started, the CJP remarked: “We have decided that we will not hear the individual case related to the elections, we will hear the case related to the constitutional interpretation, the individual case related to the elections will be heard in another bench next week”.
Justice Qazi Faez said that they issued a public notice in the disqualification case, but no political party became a party. Nobody cares for the people of Pakistan, it does not matter that the country is heading towards destruction. A single mistake in nomination papers disqualifies for life.
He asked why we are limiting ourselves to only one specific part of the constitution and its language. Why are we ignoring constitutional history and fundamental rights? What remaining rights have been taken away by the insertion of certain new clauses? Only one general added the clause of 62-1F, then we all became bound?
It is pertinent to note that yesterday in the hearing of the case related to lifelong disqualification of politicians, the petitioner's lawyer Khurram Raza and judicial assistant Uzair Bhandari gave arguments.
The Chief Justice of Pakistan had remarked during the hearing that the elections are being held on February 8, no confusion should be spread, and no obstacles should be created in the way of the elections by filing applications every day.
He also said, “How can the wisdom of five gentlemen prevail over the parliament of 326. The decision of the parliament should not be looked down upon, where it is written in the constitution that the penalty of disqualification shall be for life”.
