ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — Pakistan ki Wafaqi Aaini Adalat ke Chief Justice ne Justice Munib Akhtar ki sarbarahi mein Supreme Court ke aik bench ki sarzanish karte hue kaha hai ke pehle se tai shuda muqadma dobara kholne ka us ka faisla "adalati nazm-o-zabt, qanooni usoolon aur idara jati aadab ke hawale se sangeen khadshat paida karta hai".
Dawn ki report ke mutabiq FCC ke Chief Justice Aminuddin Khan ke yeh remarks us hukm name mein samne aaye jis ke zariye Income Support Levy Act 2013 ko kaladam qarar dene wale Supreme Court ke December 2021 ke faisle ke khilaf darjanon nazarsani ki darkhwastein mustarad kar di gayin. Yeh faisla us waqt ke Justice Qazi Faez Isa ne aik aise bench mein tehreer kiya tha jis mein Justice Aminuddin bhi shamil thay, aur is mein qarar diya gaya tha ke levy Finance Act 2013 ke zariye aain ke matloob tareeqa-e-kar par amal kiye baghair manzoor ki gayi thi, is liye yeh kabhi jaiz qanoon bani hi nahin.
"Rujoo kiye baghair"
Is faisle ke bawajood, aur jab us ke khilaf nazarsani ki darkhwastein zer-e-iltiwa theen, Justice Akhtar samet Supreme Court ke 3 rukni bench ne June 2022 mein bunyadi taur par unhi aaini sawalat par appeal ki ijazat de di aur wazeh taur par sabiqa faisle par az-sar-e-nau ghaur karne ka imkan zahir kiya.
"Justice Munib Akhtar ke tehreer karda baad ke hukm name mein ikhtiyar kiya gaya tareeqa adalati nazm-o-zabt, qanooni usoolon aur idara jati aadab ke hawale se sangeen khadshat paida karta hai, khaas taur par jab sabiqa faisla nafiz-ul-amal tha aur pehle hi nazarsani ki karrawai ka mauzu tha," Justice Aminuddin ne likha.
Unhon ne kaha ke baad ke benches ko sabiqa faislon ka "munasib lihaz" rakhna chahiye, aur baad mein di gayi appeal ki ijazat bazat-e-khud na kisi sabiqa faisle par nazarsani kar sakti hai, na us mein tarmeem kar sakti hai aur na us ki jagah le sakti hai. 2021 ke faisle par "munasib adalati tareeqa-e-kar se rujoo kiye baghair" az-sar-e-nau ghaur karna in usoolon se mutasadim tha. "Adalati azadi ko adalati nazm-o-zabt, tahammul aur idara jati waqar ke mutabiq istemal kiya jana chahiye," unhon ne likha.
FCC ke 2 rukni bench ne, jis mein Justice Ali Baqar Najafi bhi shamil thay, 2021 ke faisle mein koi ghalti nahin payi aur qarar diya ke yeh "baghair kisi tabdeeli ke barqarar rahega".
Adalatein aamne samne
Wafaqi Aaini Adalat haliya aaini tarameem ke zariye Supreme Court se aaini muqadmat apne haath mein lene ke liye qaim ki gayi thi, aik aisi tabdeeli jis ke bare mein naqideen ka kehna hai ke is ne adalati azadi ko kamzor kiya hai. Is hafte Islamabad High Court ke Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani ne istifa de diya, aur kaha ke 26wein aur 27wein tarmeem ne adliya ki azadi ko "majrooh" kar diya hai.
