The Supreme Court of Pakistan will resume hearing of a petition submitted by former Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani against his disqualification on March 6.
A three-member bench of the apex led by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry would give ruling on the petition.
In April last year, a seven-member bench of the supreme court headed by Justice Asif Saeed Khosa had awarded a symbolic punishment to the then prime minister Gilani. Later a three member bench of the Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chuadhry upheld the court’s earlier decision and Gilani was removed from office, making him the first ever chief executive to be removed on charges of “contempt of court”.
The ruling had not only stripped Gillani of premiership, but he was also disqualified from contesting as a Member of National Assembly for five years.
The former prime minister had filed an appeal on Feb 2 against the apex court’s ruling in the contempt case barring him from contesting elections and holding any public office for five years
hope mr gilani gets justice this time,according to the indepentent legal experts the court gave a totally illegal decision to disqulify him
the supreme court,s decision to disqulify yousaf raza was totally biased and partial,even the international legal people condemned it
yes the judges are still the same ,they are very biased and partial against ppp therefore i donot see any change in the earlier decision
ppp has no chance of getting any justice from this supreme court,all the judges are biased and they favour nawaz sharif
this supreme court is a black spot on the legal history of pakistan
