Lifelong disqualification is against Islam, Chief Justice
Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faiz Isa remarked in the case of lifetime disqualification of politicians that lifetime disqualification is against Islam.
In his remarks, he further said that the solution to the whole issue is in Islam. It is mentioned in the Holy Quran that the rank of man is very high, man is not bad, his actions are bad, 62 One F is calling man bad. If a person repents of his sin, he can be forgiven.
A 7-member larger bench headed by Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Isa heard the case related to the disqualification of politicians under 62 One F.
Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, Justice Yahya Afridi, Justice Aminuddin Khan, Justice Jamal Mandukhel, Justice Mohammad Ali Mazhar and Justice Musrat Hilali are also part of the larger bench. Petitioner Fayyaz Ahmed Ghori and Sajjadul Hassan's counsel Khurram Raza questioned the jurisdiction of the court. Raising said that the Supreme Court is hearing this case on which jurisdiction? Whether the appeals under Article 187 are fixed for hearing together.
The Chief Justice of Pakistan, talking to lawyer Khurram Raza, said that you should be limited to your request, to which Khurram Raza said that the court is conducting the trial under 184/3 or under 187? Article 62 does not specify the definition of Court of Law.
Lawyer Khurram Raza said that the authority to give the declaration of Article 62 One F belongs to the Election Tribunal, the Court of Law is listed in Article 62 One F and not the Supreme Court. Take away, Article 62 speaks of a one-f Court of Law.
