A daily paper dated: 08-12-2016 has published an article by Prof. Khursheed Ahmad on limiting the role of Supreme Court of Pakistan by 26th constitutional amendment to suggest a supervisory role of Govt. oven Apex Court under Article 184(3) of the Constitution. This amounts to creating regal powers for the Federal Govt. to cut the wings of Apex Court. This must not be allowed to go forth in the National Assembly as it would be tantamount to compromise the powers of Apex Court that would weaken the democratic order of the Nation by curtailing the supervisory ambit of the Supreme Court on fundamental rights of public importance which may result in the width of dictatorship of the ruling party on the people which ought to be guarded against by the people.
