00:00 If we look at the controversial note of 1st September, Justice Mansoor Ali Shah Sahib,
00:04 he is saying that this can happen.
00:07 How?
00:08 What did he write in that controversial note?
00:09 He wrote that there is an unnecessary delay in the decision of the Practice and Procedure Act.
00:15 If the Practice and Procedure Act is amended, the decision of the current case will be invalid.
00:21 I have not given a full court order to hear the case against Naib Tarameen
00:25 or have given an opinion to stop the proceedings till the decision of the Practice and Procedure Act.
00:30 So the second line is that if the Practice and Procedure Act is amended,
00:35 the decision of the current case will be invalid.
00:37 Will it affect this case?
00:40 Will someone go for a review?
00:41 Will it be challenged?
00:42 Is this going to be a big case, a big test case for the next Supreme Court?
00:47 We get a lot of such questions.
00:49 Mr. Ashtar Rao Sahib is with us.
00:50 The Deputy Attorney General of Pakistan.
00:51 Thank you very much for joining us.
00:53 Barrister Gauhar Ali Khan Sahib is with us on the telephone line.
00:56 Mr. Ashtar, let's start with you.
00:58 PMLN seems comfortable.
00:59 When we saw that the response from London was also received.
01:04 Mr. Rana Sinhaullah also gave a press conference.
01:06 We have read a lot of references which will be reopened and transferred.
01:10 So, this optimism of PMLN, where is this coming from?
01:15 Do they legally really think that with this amendment,
01:18 your opinion will be that there will be no effect on their cases?
01:21 First of all, I must compliment you that you have collected so much information in a
01:31 very short time.
01:33 Thank you.
01:34 Either it was already collated and if it was done immediately, then your team and you…
01:40 Sir, it was done immediately and it is the credit of my team.
01:42 The second thing is that everyone has the right to give their opinion.
01:46 Everyone's opinion is valid.
01:48 But the question is what is its legal position?
01:51 Before understanding the legal position, we must look at the background.
01:56 In which backdrop was this law made?
01:59 What is its background?
02:01 How was it amended?
02:03 And how was it used?
02:08 First of all, how was this law made?
02:11 What is its backdrop?
02:12 When Parvez Musharraf came, he raised the slogan of accountability.
02:18 And instead of that accountability, it became pliability.
02:22 That is, instead of holding someone accountable or holding him accountable,
02:28 you used him to bring him closer to you, to trap him in your trap.
02:36 This is called political engineering in the language of the Supreme Court.
02:42 So, it became a tool of political engineering.
02:46 It became a means of political engineering.
02:49 And we heard its background repeatedly in the courts, whether they are the courts or
02:55 the parliament.
03:00 It was written in the judgments.
03:03 It was also written that Chief Justice Tassadegh Jilani gave a very comprehensive judgment on
03:12 it, Chief Justice Asif Khosla gave a comprehensive judgment, Chief Justice, a senior Supreme Court
03:21 judge, he gave a judgment of 80 pages on it.
03:26 How did this law and institution stun the economic stability and economic progress in
03:34 this country?
03:36 How did they do all the things in which you have to make a decision?
03:45 So, looking at all these things, keeping in mind the judgments of the Supreme Court,
03:51 the amendments were given in this.
03:56 Farooq Naik worked a lot on this.
03:59 Zayed Hamid worked a lot on this.
04:02 Azam Nadeer Tarrar worked a lot on this.
04:06 A lot of work was done on this by the legislators of PTI.
04:11 A lot of contribution was made.
04:13 And it was decided that it would be considered completely unlawful.
04:18 And if this whole law was terminated, could the Supreme Court revive this law?
04:27 No, it cannot be done.
04:30 And since they could not revive the law, then how did they decide that it is in violation
04:38 of fundamental rights?
04:40 Whose fundamental rights are they in violation of?
04:44 Imran Khan's?
04:45 Yes, the people who filed this petition or any other petitioner who filed it, they do
04:52 not have a single fundamental right in violation of this law.
04:56 Yes, their fundamental rights will definitely be in violation.
05:00 Their properties were confiscated, and they have been kept under strict control for years.
05:07 They will definitely have rights whose dignity was violated, whose family was allowed to
05:13 live in a house, and whose dignity will be violated in the coming days.
05:20 Remember, strict law is not black.
05:24 Law is strict.
05:26 Black law is what can be misused.
05:31 And that is why the Sinha High Court said that there is no way to see this matter through
05:38 misuse.
05:39 What is the method?
05:44 Which mega corruption cases should be investigated?
