Ruling coalition rejects SC's decision on judicial reforms bill
Pakistan
They called it an open and gravest example of conflict of interest
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) coalition on Thursday rejected the recent decision by the Supreme Court of Pakistan to block the implementation of the Supreme Court Practice and Procedure bill 2023.
The ruling coalition criticized the decision and claimed that it was an assassination of justice and the reputation of the Supreme Court.
According to the statement issued by the ruling coalition, it was the first time in history that a law had not been enacted yet, and the Supreme Court, with a one-sided bench, stopped its implementation.
The coalition called this move against the constitution and the authority of parliament and described it as an attack on the Federation of Pakistan.
The ruling coalition accused the Supreme Court of acting on a mere guess and concept, which was not only against the prevailing legal procedure but also against logic.
They called it an open and gravest example of conflict of interest and a "one-man show" episode that would go down as a dark chapter in judicial history.
The statement said that the reservations of the Pakistan Bar Council and the Provincial Bar Councils were also proved correct and hoped that the legal community of Pakistan would take notice of this grave mockery of the Constitution, Law and Justice.
The ruling alliance declared that it was hoping that the lawyers would raise their voice for the observance of the principles of justice and that the ruling parties would prepare a strategy to bring justice to the justice system.
According to the declaration, the ruling coalition would formulate a plan for the future with consultation and pledged that the parliament and its constitutional authority would be protected and defended.
The ruling parties would strongly resist this judicial injustice while disapproving of it.
The coalition called for the observance of the principles of justice and the protection of the democratic rights of the people.
