The Lahore High Court has dismissed a petition seeking an order to bar Asif Ali Zardari from functioning as the president of the country.
Jamaat-e-Islami leader Farid Piracha had filed the petition, contending that Zardari had been disqualified in light of a recent Supreme Court judgment that barred the president from engaging in political activities.
LHC Justice Nasir Saeed Sheikh observed that the order sought by Piracha could not be granted as another petition on the same issue was pending adjudication and its maintainability had not been decided as yet.
He then dismissed Piracha’s application.
The petitioner had claimed that Zardari had been persistently carrying on political activities as the head of the state as well as the leader of the ruling Pakistan People’s Party.
He said a full bench of the Lahore High Court had on 12 May, 2011 suggested that the president should disassociate himself from the post of chief of the PPP, but he had been consistently disobeying the court’s order as well as the constitution.
Judges are just a bunch of clowns.
Judges also need accountability
