Islamabad, July 26 :- After Pakistan’s Supreme Court’s refused to constitute a full bench to hear the plea against the Punjab chief minister’s election, the ruling coalition announced that it will boycott of the courts proceedings, Dawn reported on Tuesday.
Leaders of the ruling parties, termed the SC decision “unacceptable”, and during a late-night meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif decided to chalk out their future line of action.
Addressing the press conference after the meeting, Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said any verdict announced by the three-judge bench hearing the case would be considered partial. Rejecting the apex court’s refusal to a full court, he said the government would not appear before this bench.
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior vice president Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said the case at hand would be a test for the SC. “Justice demands that if a question has been raised over a bench or judge, they should recuse themselves. This is supremacy of the law. It is for this bench to decide how their conduct will go down in history.”
In a tweet, PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz claimed that people now knew decisions in the country were made over personal likes and dislikes.
Pakistan’s Supreme Court had earlier rejected the plea to constitute a full court, and adjourned the hearing till Tuesday morning.
