ISLAMABAD:(Report By Zeeshan Najam Khan) According to ug news Media Europe, The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Chief Justice (CJ) Athar Minallah remarked on Thursday that the court cannot issue orders to the National Assembly.
The IHC CJ made the observation while hearing PTI’s petition on the approval of the resignations of a select party lawmakers following Imran Khan’s ouster as prime minister.
At the outset of the hearing, Justice Minallah stated that court respects the Parliament, adding that a similar petition was also filed before as well on this matter.
“Is this the political party’s policy,” wondered the judge, while acknowledging that rest of the PTI MNAs resignations are yet to be accepted. People trusted the representatives and sent them to Parliament, he remarked.
“This court cannot issue orders to the speaker of the National Assembly,” remarked Justice Athar Minallah on the PTI’s petition directing the court to direct the custodian of the lower house to investigate their party’s resignations. He also observed that in the Shakoor Shad case IHC had only asked for a review.
“This is a political issue and Parliament is the place to resolve political tussles. You should hold dialogue with political parties to resolve problems,” said the IHC CJ. Do these resigned members really want to go to Parliament and resolve the people’s issue? he wondered.
