| [The Nation (Pak)] The National Assembly yesterday passed an unusual resolution against the three-member Supreme Court bench’s declaration that the ECP decision to postpone Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard 2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers 3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... assembly elections was illegal and made it binding on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his cabinet not to implement the decision. The resolution was moved by BAP MNA Khalid Magsi and approved by a majority of the politicians. The resolution noted that the National Assembly on March 28 in a resolution had called on the Supreme Court to avoid interfering in political matters. It also noted that multiple sections of the society had called on the apex court to form a full court bench but it was ignored and only one political party was heard in the case. "Completely ignoring the clear resolution of the Parliament and the majority decision of the four judges of the Supreme Court, the three-member special bench imposed a minority opinion, which is a violation of the traditions, precedents and procedures of the Supreme Court," noted the resolution. Reading out the resolution, Maqsi continued that the minority was imposed over the majority and that the parliament rejects the decision of the three-member minority bench and declares the decision of the majority bench ineffective according to the Constitution and law. "Such an action is clearly against the traditions and precedents of the Supreme Court, and is unacceptable," he said, adding that the House expressed concern over undue judicial interference in political matters. The BAP leader maintained that the minority ruling was creating political instability in the country and that the decision has paved the way for division among federating units. |
