    Canada Global (Web News) Attaullah Tarar, the Special Assistant to the Prime Minister, stated on Tuesday that the judiciary should not get involved in the process of amending the Pakistani constitution because only the Parliament has the power to do so.

    Addressing to the media, Mr Tarar underlined that the Supreme Court (practise and procedure) bill 2023 was required in order to achieve the Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM’s) goal of ensuring the supremacy of justice in the nation.

    Insisting that the Parliament was supreme and that the people were the source of power, Mr. Tarar said that justice must be done and seen to be done.

    Canada Global (Web News) The Supreme Court (Practice and Procedure) Bill, 2023, was approved in a joint session of parliament, and the federal government sent it back to President Arif Alvi on Tuesday for his signature.

If the committee determines that the matter involves the enforcement of one or more fundamental rights, it must then establish a bench consisting of at least three judges of the supreme court, which may also include committee members.

    In accordance with the Constitution, assent is presumed to have been provided if the President fails to sign the law within 10 days.

    The bill was introduced a day earlier by Federal Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar in the joint session of parliament for reexamination in light of the president’s letter.

    Speaking at the event, the minister claimed that the opposition had displayed ignorance regarding the subject and claimed that the president had made a disparaging remark about the power of the house to pass laws. He said, “Mr. Alvi ought to have prevented this.”

    The measure “prima-facie travels outside the competence of the Parliament and can be assailed as a colorable legislation,” according to President Alvi, who had sent the bill back to parliament for reconsideration on April 8.
