ISLAMABAD - The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Friday reserved the verdict in the all-important case pertaining to lifetime disqualification of politicians under Article 62.
He said the legislation introduced by the elected members of parliament could not be seen with hate. He noted that the Article 62 did not mention the period of disqualification. He asked under which provisions of law the proceedings were being conducted. However, the bench asked Raza to stick to his petition.
Justice Isa remarked that election tribunal would exercise powers only under the law. Therefore when the SC would exercise such powers it could not have more powers than the election tribunal or the Election Commission of Pakistan. Justice Shah asked was it not strange that for other crimes like treason, murder, rape and kidnapping one could always come back and contest elections but for a civil wrong the punishment was for life.
The CJP lamented that amendments were made on 'gunpoint' and asked how the wisdom of five judges sitting in a court could be more than the people sitting in parliament. The CJP inquired if non-Muslims could be Saadiq and Ameen. He then asked if these things were inserted for confusion or some other purpose.
Although the nomination papers of Nawaz from both constituencies NA-15 and NA-130 were accepted by the respective returning officers, an election tribunal has been moved against him in Lahore. Earlier, Chief Justice Isa, who was leading a three-member bench, had wondered last month how a person could still remain disqualified for life after completing the sentence and added that the Supreme Court had two different opinions on lifetime disqualification.
The attorney general representing the Federation wasn’t alone in his stance as the four provincial advocate generals too endorsed the opinion, which is a result of the changes made in Section 232 of the Election Act 2017 by parliament during the Shehbaz Sharif-led coalition government, fixing the disqualification period at five years.
On the other hand, the chief justice wondered how anyone could determine the character of other based upon the criteria set in said article of the Constitution, as he raised questions about the terms “Sadiq” and “Ameen” .
