Pakistan Bar Council Expresses Concern Over Supreme Court’s Observations on PTI Chief’s Conviction

The Pakistan Bar Council (PBC) raised concerns over the Supreme Court’s observations regarding the “procedural defects” in the August 5 conviction of PTI Chairman Imran Khan by a trial court. On that day, Khan was sentenced to three years for “corrupt practices” related to not disclosing state gifts’ details, disqualifying him from upcoming general elections for five years. Khan sought relief from the Islamabad High Court (IHC) and challenged the trial court’s decision.

Supreme Court’s Remarks

Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial mentioned the presence of flaws in the trial court’s decision but stated the Supreme Court would refrain from intervening immediately. The apex court pointed out that the trial court failed to consider Khan’s intention to produce a defense witness and went against the IHC’s direction to determine the case’s jurisdiction. These remarks led to speculations about the apex court’s influence on lower court decisions.

PBC’s Concerns on Judicial Interference

The PBC voiced its discomfort, suggesting that the Supreme Court’s comments seemed pre-emptive, potentially undermining the high court’s independent judgment. Hassan Raza Pasha, the PBC Executive Committee Chairman, emphasized the need for the judiciary to remain apolitical and operate within the law. Pasha also underscored the importance of avoiding perceived interference in ongoing high court matters. Expressing similar sentiments, PBC Vice Chairman Haroonur Rashid mentioned that the Supreme Court’s observations appeared influential, raising questions about the independence of lower courts.

The overarching sentiment from the PBC is a call for the judiciary to function within the law’s boundaries, ensuring fairness and avoiding any perceived biases.
