The Judge of the Supreme Court, Ayesha Malik, has challenged herself to listen to a constitutional case on the legality of Section 221-A of the Customs Law, asking questions about her future deliberations.
During the hearing, the Constitutional Bank of eight members, led by Judge Aminuddin Khan, met to address the appeals on the constitutional validity of the provision of the Customs Law, said Express News.
Judge Malik, however, took a step back, declaring: “I can’t hear this case. I will provide separate reasons for my challenge. “
The Attorney General requested a post -week post, while lawyer Salahuddin highlighted the ongoing controversies, including a previous order related to powers under the law.
He also urged an accelerated audience for the related case of Dewan Motors.
Judge Aminuddin Khan said that the court would address the matter promptly, declaring: “We will hear this case tomorrow.”
Judge Muhammad Ali Mazhar also added: “He can provide his reasons, Justice Malik.”
The case revolves around section 221-A of the Customs Law, a controversial provision under scrutiny for its constitutional position.
The Court’s decision on the matter could have significant implications for customs and administrative practices in Pakistan.
Judge Malik’s challenge adds another layer of complexity to the case, with his reasons to remove still to reveal. The audience will resume with a reconfigured bank in the next few days.
In addition, a Division Bank of the Supreme Court will present its verdict today in a case of contempt initiated against an additional registrar of the court for withdrawing a case from the bank.
The bank comprised of Judge Syed Mansoor Ali Shah and Judge Aqeel Abbasi had reserved the verdict in the case on January 23. Will present its order at 9:30 am
Interestingly, a SC Bank of six members will take the intra-co-appeal of the Nazar Abbas additional (judicial) registrar against the cause program issued by the Justice Shah directed by the bank also today (Monday).
