00:00Chief Justice has been made permanent, Mr. Justice Sarfaraz Dogar.
00:05Mr. Mohsin Akhtar Kiani, you know that he was the Senior Peonate Judge.
00:09Because Aamir Farooq, who was the Chief Justice, he had to go to the Supreme Court.
00:13So, Mr. Mohsin was the Senior Peonate Judge.
00:15Then some judges came, Mr. Sarfaraz, who was more senior than him,
00:18they all went for a debate, whether to take an alif or not.
00:20After that, Mr. Sarfaraz became the Senior Peonate Judge.
00:22A few moments ago, this notification has come, according to which Mr. Mohsin Akhtar,
00:28You know that Mr. Sarfaraz Dogar was the Judge of my Tribunal.
00:33Which one? Election?
00:34The one which is not running.
00:36That Tribunal. Election Tribunal.
00:38Okay. He has come from Lahore High Court.
00:41And in Lahore High Court, his seniority was at 15th position.
00:46But here, he has come at the 2nd position.
00:48I don't know how.
00:49Because it is a transfer.
00:50So, in transfer, you get extra points.
00:53In transfer, you get extra points.
00:56I am not a legal expert.
00:58You get extra points.
00:59I don't know, Article 200, Article 194.
01:01These are just articles.
01:03So, Ayn is an additional reading of the course work.
01:08So, Ayn-e-Pakistan is an additional reading.
01:10It is not compulsory.
01:11Before that, since such an important news has come,
01:14I have to take permission from Mr. Malik in this development.
01:17And then I will do this.
01:20In fact, do we have Raja Mohsin with us?
01:22The court correspondent is with us.
01:23Mohsin, can you tell us what is written in the notification?
01:27The permanent Chief Justice will be there till the permanent appointment.
01:32I mean, I want to understand.
01:34It is not permanent.
01:35For a few days, for a few weeks.
01:36What is it? Please explain.
01:37The permanent Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court is appointed.
01:42And he will fulfill his responsibilities until the appointment of the permanent Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court.
01:49Justice Sarfaraz Dogar is among those judges who were transferred to Islamabad High Court.
01:55And along with this, a representation was also sent from the judges of Islamabad High Court.
02:02To the Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court.
02:04At that time, Chief Justice Amir Dogar.
02:07However, the notification of Chief Justice Amir Dogar to be transferred as a permanent Chief Justice has been issued by the Ministry of Justice.
02:17What is written in Mohsin, till appointment of regular Chief Justice.
02:21Acting Chief Justice will be there.
02:24What does this mean?
02:25When will the regular Chief Justice be appointed?
02:27Yes, exactly.
02:28Till appointment of regular Chief Justice has been appointed according to this notification.
02:34As per Article 196 of the Constitution, it has been appointed by the President of the country.
02:39When will the appointment of regular Chief Justice be made?
02:42Look, in this regard, the Chief Justice of Pakistan met with the journalists the other day.
02:48He said about the Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court that the Judicial Commission of Pakistan will be held in the future.
02:54This matter will be considered in that.
02:56And Justice Mia Gul Hasan Aurangzeb, who has been appointed as a permanent judge in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
03:04He also said about him that he is also a permanent Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court.
03:09And when this permanent Chief Justice will be appointed, he will also be considered.
03:14In this regard, the Judicial Commission of Pakistan can be called in the coming days.
03:19However, as Justice Mia Gul Hasan Aurangzeb has been appointed as a permanent judge in the Supreme Court,
03:26it is possible that the Judicial Commission will not be held in the near future.
03:32Thank you very much.
03:33So, Mr. Malik, it is also a possibility that the regular Chief Justice will also be appointed after the Judicial Commission is held.
03:42It is also possible, isn't it, Mr. Malik?
03:44Absolutely.
03:45Sir, it is also possible that you and I can also be appointed in this country.
03:48As the situation is going on.
03:50Exactly.
03:51None of us are disappointed.
03:54It was the obvious conclusion that who was the purpose of this fair?
03:58You bring the 15th number.
04:00Look, the biggest strength of any court of justice is its moral authority.
04:06Absolutely.
04:07Courts do not have the same police force as others have.
04:11There is moral authority.
04:12And the first step in moral authority is when you make it needlessly controversial.
04:17Now, there is a representation of five judges on this issue.
04:22Four judges have given their viewpoints in the Supreme Court case.
04:26Even the Chief Justice said this.
04:28He was talking about the journalist meeting.
04:31He said, I have given my mind.
04:33Transfer and seniority should not be mixed.
04:41So, everybody knows what has happened.
04:44But I think there is an unfortunate criminal silence.
04:49Our problem is that all our people are in power.
04:53They do not care about the long-term consequences of their actions.
04:58Everyone is looking at their own circle.
05:01What is my immediate future?
05:03How will my next two years, four years pass?
05:05What will happen to my career?
05:07Without realizing what the long-term damages will be for this country, for the system.
05:11You have made everything needlessly controversial.
05:14Elevation of judges to High Courts.
05:17Elevation of judges from High Courts to Supreme Courts.
05:20There was no need for this.
05:22Today, whether it is wrong or right,
05:24PTI has succeeded in selling a perception that court packing is happening.
05:29If you look at the Supreme Court, four Chief Justices have come.
05:32They should have come as it is.
05:34Two senior judges have come.
05:35But court packing is happening.
05:37Because sometimes you do the right thing the wrong way,
05:40it also has a loss.
05:42I would like to quickly finish one thing.
05:44The problem is that there is a conflict in our country,
05:47in which there are four parties.
05:49One is Judiciary.
05:50One is Executive.
05:51One is Imran Khan PTI.
05:53And one is Establishment.
05:55Judiciary does not have to talk to anyone.
05:58Their nature of operations is like this.
06:00Government does not want to talk to anyone
06:02because they are children of conflict.
06:04There is a conflict between Imran and Establishment.
06:06They are alive.
06:07Their work is going on.
06:08Two people have to talk to each other.
06:10When they do, mistrust will reduce.
06:12Then the matter will move forward.
06:14Otherwise, all these sideshows will continue to run.
06:16The system will continue to be destroyed.
06:18You will hear good things.
06:20You will like mega trends, economic, others.
06:24But when you,
06:25they say the devil lies in detail.
06:27When you synthesize them,
06:29then you will say that nothing has changed.
06:31So the real problem is there.
