High time that we (lawyers particularly) stop feeding into CJP’s false sense of bravado. How is it brave and courageous to tell the truth of decades ago while remaining silent about the truth of today. What a sham

We stand with the 6 brave IHC judges. We condemn the interference in judiciary by the Executive and the surrender of SC by allowing a sham Commission to enquire into the matter. #ShamCommissionRejected

Clarifying some not so accurate comparisons being made between the contempt proceedings against IK and the one against Babar Sattar, J by PHC. I was working with Sattar, J at the time. 1/5

Don’t think i have ever read a worst judicial order passed by the highest court of the land. Devoid of any legal authority and rationale. There’s even no pretence to disguise the actions under any legal power. 1/2

@AsadAToor @HamzaSS @Jaferii Just a clarity: don’t think the opinion has made 63A in its entirety redundant. Sub-article (b) of 63A has become redundant. Opinion has no consequence on sub-article (a) that relates to resignation or joining another political party.

Lawyers must oppose such sickening abuse of power. Our legal jurisprudence and institutions have suffered enough due to our silence (in court rooms) during the disastrous tenures of CJs Iftikhar Ch & MSN. This tenure promises to be worst if we dont dare to question such actions

As we have heard it for so long “Bar & bench wheels of same chariot.” Quite true and shameful

Meanwhile, in our beautiful Legal World, the SHCBA is going on strike to protest the Supreme Court’s decision. The Indian supreme court’s decision. On Kashmir. Lawyers in Sindh are striking…so that the Indian Supreme Court feels their pressure. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

At the preliminary stage, question on the maintainability of proceedings was raised as it was a case of scandalisation and the same judge not only initiated the proceedings, issued SCN but also decided to hear the matter which isn’t permissible u/s 11 of Contempt Ordinance

Sattar, J was issued contempt for writing an oped re appointments of ADSJs and not for threatening a judge or obstructing administration of justice. He was issued notice during the hearing of an unconnected matter while he was appearing as a counsel. 2/5

He requested the judge to clarify if it was a notice initiating contempt proceedings or SCN. The judge verbally informed him that SCN would be issued. Subsequently, SCN was served on him through President of IHCBA. He had two days to respond to SCN. 3/5

Sattar, J wasn’t even told what was the exact statement in relation to which he was issued SCN. Nevertheless a response was prepared but before it could be filed SCN was discharged. 4/5

@umergilani_lums @mhaiderimtiaz @UmmarZia I think there is very brief mention of local government’s power to name/rename roads in ICT Local Govt Act. A local Govt can name/rename only after approval of Fed Govt. Not aware of any other legal instrument on this issue that is applicable to ICT.

@umergilani_lums @mhaiderimtiaz @UmmarZia Remember reading a bit more detailed legal instruments of Sindh and Punjab regarding restrictions on naming/renaming of roads. But they were specific to instances where the road is being named/renamed after a person.
