00:00Mr. Ali Zafar, what do you think?
00:03I feel that when I met you in the court in the morning,
00:07you asked me with a smile, what are you doing?
00:09So I said, I have come to see your destruction.
00:12So you said, you are welcome.
00:14So are we still welcome?
00:16Is the decision not clear?
00:18From your comment, it seems that you have already known the decision.
00:23Or you have guessed what the decision is going to be in this case.
00:26You have no idea?
00:29From my point of view, the bench has to be decided first.
00:36Whether the bench is made according to the practice and procedure act or not.
00:45Because if the decision is made, then the case will go ahead.
00:49If the decision is made that the bench is not correct, then the case will go back.
00:56In my opinion, you mentioned a lot of things in your answer.
01:01So there is only one solution to all this.
01:04Which Justice Masood Ali Shah has suggested in his letter.
01:08And that is that the full court of the Supreme Court should sit on the administrator's side.
01:13And sit and solve all these issues.
01:16Make rules.
01:17And after that, these matters will go ahead.
01:20This is a fight that is taking place among the judges and the public.
01:28Let's start.
01:30It sounds like a very reasonable request, Bilal.
01:34If the full court sits and solves all these issues, won't there be credibility?
01:39First of all, thank you for having me on your show.
01:43Always a pleasure to have you.
01:45Pleasure is all mine.
01:46Congratulations on your new show.
01:48What did Jubla Famous say?
01:51Good to see you.
01:52Good to see you.
01:53Good to see you on another set.
01:55With all due respect to the honourable judges of the Supreme Court.
02:01Judges don't get to pick and choose which laws they like and which ones they don't like.
02:05Practice and procedure ordinance is a reality.
02:09And it is a law of the land as we currently speak.
02:13So I expect the Supreme Court justices to give their opinion on it.
02:19But it is your duty to comply with it.
02:21And if you don't, then this cannot happen.
02:23Then this will be the same thing that the judges sit and tell the political parties and the public.
02:29But if the Supreme Court has an objection...
02:30No, the thing is that it sets a bad example.
02:33You are saying that a law exists.
02:35I don't like it, so I don't believe in it.
02:37So far, I have understood this.
02:40And in my opinion, this is not a good practice as he is a senior judge.
02:44So in my opinion, they should look into it.
02:46As far as 63A is concerned,
02:49Mr. Ali Zafar, he can perhaps speak better about what his own view is.
02:55But in my opinion, 63A, as you said, is a wrong decision.
03:00It is a rewriting of the constitution.
03:03And in this, a specific instance is defined.
03:07Its repercussions are defined.
03:09No, no, it is one of the few stand-alones.
03:12And even today, there was a debate in the Supreme Court that Article 95 should be thrown out.
03:17Yes, yes.
03:18The Prime Minister should be virtually...
03:20And with your permission, I would like to say that
03:22there is a scope for the Supreme Court's interpretation where we are now.
03:26In the art of interpretation, you do not insert rewriting or subsection, which was done this time.
03:31And I would like to mention one thing.
03:34You mentioned Article 95, the vote of no confidence.
03:37In the original constitution of 1973, Article 96 was omitted.
03:42And for context, I would like to read a part of it very quickly.
03:45The vote of a member elected to the National Assembly as a candidate or nominee of a political party
03:50cast in support of a resolution for a vote of no confidence
03:53shall be disregarded if the majority of the members of that political party in the National Assembly
03:58has cast its votes against the passing of such a resolution.
