Charter of democracy has no legal status: Justice Javed

[karachi]

ISLAMABAD: The 17-member bench of Supreme Court heard the petitions challenging various clauses of the 18th Constitutional Amendment on Monday.

Judges in their remarks said Charter of Democracy (CoD) has no legal status whereas there is no such clause in constitution scheme, which separates judiciary from legislature.

A 17-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry heard 23 cases related to 18th Amendment.

Supreme Court Bar lawyer Hamid Khan in his arguments stated that the concept of judicial commission and parliamentary committee for the appointment of judges has been taken from CoD.

Justice Javed Iqbal in his remarks said only two political parties had signed the CoD and it has no legal status.

Justice Asif Saeed Khosa said a resolution to constitute judicial commission for the appointment of judges was approved by Pakistan Bar Council. In reply, Hamid Khan said law minister and attorney general were not part of the commission approved in the resolution.

Justice Shakirullah Jan said constitution scheme talked about separation of judiciary from administration but not from legislature.

Charter of Democracy was a fraud. PML(n) and PPP protecting each other. The only good thing happened at that day when it was being signed. Nawaz Sharif said that no patriotic party will ever make alliance with MQM. Even that promise did not come true. So hell with COD. Lets follow the man of the word.........................................................Imran Ahmed Khan Niazi

I know Imran keep changing his views about MQM. He some times calls them bhatta khore. Some times he calls them murderers. Some times he calls them thugs. Some times he calls them gang bangers.
Imran khan is dogla person. He should just call them one thing. My suggestion is call them jahil crowd.
