00:00 So Mr. Hamid Khan, if they go and accept the elections, then that's one thing.
00:05 But if they can't accept the elections or if they don't go, does the President still have the right to give his own date for the general elections?
00:14 Yes, that's absolutely right. There are no restrictions on that.
00:17 There are no restrictions on that in the constitution.
00:20 The general law, the election act, it cannot stop that.
00:26 And if the election commission denies that, that's not your right and we can't do that, then what? A new constitutional amendment?
00:33 Another amendment will be created and that will be against the constitution.
00:38 How can you ignore the constitution's shift in the face of a general law's shift?
00:46 So this is against the basic principle that the constitution is the basic law and the basic law has to prevail over the other laws.
00:57 Barrister Salauddin Ahmed, the Supreme Court Bar Association has challenged the Council of Common Interest's decision.
01:03 The Pakistan Bar Council and the Provincial Bar Council have also given press releases that the elections should be held on the 90th day.
01:08 The People's Party's position has also been made public.
01:11 The President's letter has also been released. The Supreme Court will hear this and ultimately the matter will go to the Supreme Court.
01:19 The general elections will be decided there. The Chief Justice is going to retire in a few days.
01:23 So this matter will inevitably be put before the Chief Justice, Qazi Faiz Isa.
01:29 All these matters have become a trend now. All the politics that we have here is in the courts.
01:42 So all these matters will eventually be decided by the Supreme Court.
01:47 If the caretaker and the Chief Minister were sitting in the Council of Common Interest.
01:55 In my opinion, I don't think that the Council of Common Interest's decision will be invalidated.
02:04 There were only two chief ministers who were caretakers.
02:10 And this is also a debatable point that whether giving this approval is a policy question or not.
02:18 But eventually the Supreme Court will decide.
02:25 The majority of the decisions are made in the Council of Common Interest.
02:28 Even if two caretakers are removed, there are still five including the People's Party who have given their decision.
02:37 So either way, the decision will still stand.
02:41 But I don't think that the decision will be made by two chief ministers.
02:48 The overall decision would have nevertheless remained the same.
02:52 So I don't think that it will have any impact.
02:55 But Mr. Baris, until the Supreme Court's decision on the Practice and Procedure Act,
02:58 Justice Qazi Faiz Isa will not be a part of any bench.
03:00 The Chief Justice Bandyal is not making a full court.
03:03 So either way, if they decide on this before the end of their term,
03:08 will the PDM's not accept this?
03:11 Or will other free can?
03:14 The political reaction of the PDM's can only be better explained.
03:22 But I think that the issues that we have seen in the last four to six months,
03:29 and the issues that we have seen before that,
03:33 could have been resolved to a great extent.
03:36 If a full court was made, or a method was developed,
03:45 to listen to the contentious and ironic cases of the bench,
03:53 I think that due to that insistence, the force of many decisions was depleted.
04:04 And many forces took advantage of that.
04:07 So this is an issue, and we will see what happens in the next 20-25 days.
04:17 And Mr. Hamid Khan, the Election Commission has called the Chairman of the Justice Committee at 2 am,
04:23 even though he is in jail.
04:24 Shah Mehmood Qureshi is also in jail.
04:26 So some other representative of the PTI will probably go to the Election Commission for consultation.
04:29 They have called Maulana Fazlur Rehman at 3 am.
04:31 They have called Mr. Shabaz Sharif at 25th August.
04:34 They have called Mr. Zardari at 26th August.
04:36 What laws are being used to conduct this consultation?
04:41 Why is it necessary to consult with the political leaders at this time?
04:47 Only they can tell us.
04:49 If they have been called, then they should release them from jail.
04:57 And if the Election Commission wants to hear their views,
05:02 then it is their duty to release them and bring them to us.
05:09 Can this be done if the Election Commission demands that they be released from jail for consultation?
05:16 Yes, they can release them and present them for consultation.
05:22 It is a different matter whether they do it or not.
05:27 We will see how much courage and determination they have in the Election Commission.
05:31 Mr. O'Barrister, as Mr. Hamid Khan is saying,
05:36 it is possible that they can be called for consultation.
05:38 They are in jail.
05:40 But what is the need to consult legally and legally?
05:44 The Act is very simple.
05:46 They have to fulfil their responsibilities.
05:48 In that, what aspect of consultation?
05:50 Did you understand anything?
05:51 The fact that they can be called from jail.
05:55 In the conduct of the election,
05:58 the Election Commission has been given very vast powers
06:05 that it can give any instructions to any executive authority or any executive body
06:12 for the purposes of conducting the elections.
06:15 In that regard, I do not think that the power to release them
06:21 will be with the court to issue a bail or release them.
06:26 But it is true that they can tell the jail authorities to present them to us.
06:35 In the past, you have seen that people in custody are called to the Parliament
06:41 if they think that there is a need to consult with the Assembly.
06:47 I think that the Election Commission can also do that.
06:51 Can the appeal be affected by the case in the Supreme Court?
06:56 I will just add to what Mr. Khan said.
07:01 I think that the judge should also be in the pending cases,
07:07 and should be able to make his remarks.
07:11 The time has changed, now is the age of social media.
07:15 Everything is reported immediately.
07:18 So the judge should also be able to make his comments guarded.
07:32 Because even if his view changes later,
07:37 but his comments also draw the public's perception.
07:43 And the judges also draw the impression of a mood of a superior judge.
07:53 So he should be careful in his comments.
