TAFAZZUL ISLAM, CJ:- These civil petitions arose out of the judgment and order dated 29.8.2005 passed by the High Court Division in Writ Petition No. 6016 of 2006 making the Rule absolute and declaring the Constitution (Fifth Amendment) Act, 1979, Act 1 of 1979, hereinafter referred to as the Fifth 3 Amendment, as illegal and void and allowing condonations of some of the amendments while refusing some others and also directing the Ministry of Industries, the writ respondent No.1, the proforma respondent No.3 herein, to handover the physical possession of Moon Cinema Hall, 11 Wiseghat Road, Police Station: Kotwali, Dhaka, to the writ petitioner No. 1, the respondent No.1 herein, within 60 (sixty) days. Facts, in brief, are that the respondent No.1, hereinafter referred to as the company, along with its Managing Director, filed the above writ petition stating, inter alia, that the company was registered with the Joint Stock Companies of the erstwhile East Pakistan as a private limited company in the name and style of Pak Italian Marble Work Limited and in the year 1962 it became the owner of the above Holding No.11, Wise Ghat Road, Dhaka and in the year 1964, it constructed a cinema hall known as Moon Cinema Hall; after liberation of Bangladesh, in or around the last week of December, 1971, some people taking advantage of poor law and order situation prevailing at that time, took over forcible possession of the above Moon Cinema Hall from the staffs of the company and subsequently, by notification being No.186-SI dated December 31, 1971, the management of the Moon Cinema Hall was taken over by the proforma respondent No.3 and the same was handed over to the Management Board purportedly in pursuance of the Acting President’s Order No. Sec XI/IM/35/71/17 dated December 30, 1971; then in terms of the order passed by the Department of Trade and Commerce, by an order dated 28.11.1972 passed by the Registrar Joint Stock Companies, Bangladesh, the name of the company was changed to Bangladesh Italian Marble Works Ltd.; then by Notification No. IM-XV-36/72/531 dated 15.12.1972 the respondent 4 No.3, in exercise of the powers under Article 5 of the President’s Order No. 16 of 1972, placed the Moon Cinema Hall under the disposal of Bangladesh (Freedom Fighters) Welfare Trust, the writ respondent No.3, the proforma respondent No.5 herein. Then on April 28, 1972, the company filed an application praying for release of the Moon Cinema Hall whereupon the Sub-Divisional Officer (South), Dhaka, by his order dated 1.12.1972, directed an enquiry and the directors of the company personally appeared before the Officer-in-Charge of the Abandoned Property Cell on 22.10.1973 and after enquiry the authority concerned filed an enquiry report dated 11.9.1974 with the finding that the Moon Cinema Hall was not an abandoned property and thereafter the Sub- Divisional Officer (South) Dhaka, after examining the documents, by his order dated 18.12.1974 placed the matter before the Deputy Commissioner, Dhaka and in due course the Additional Deputy Commissioner, Dhaka by his Memo dated 6.1.1975 recommended release of the said property. But by Memo dated 27.06.1975 the respondent No.3 informed the company that the Moon Cinema Hall is an abandoned property and as such cannot be released. The Company then filed an application on 17.12.1975, before the Member, Advisory Council, in-charge, Ministry of Planning and Industries, praying for release of Moon Cinema Hall but without any result. Then finding no other alternative, the company filed Writ Petition No. 67 of 1976 praying for declaration that the notification dated 31.12.1971 issued by the proforma respondent No.3 taking over Moon Cinema Hall as abandoned property under the Acting President’s Order No.1 of 1971 and its subsequent Order dated 27.6.1975 refusing to release Moon Cinema Hall are illegal and without 5 lawful authority. Only the respondent Nos. 3 and the Secretary, Ministry of Industries, the writ respondent No.2, the respondent No.4 herein, contested the Rule by filing an affidavit-in-opposition. The proforma respondent No.5 neither opposed the Rule nor filed an affidavit-in-opposition. After hearing the High Court Division, by judgment and order dated 15.6.1977, declared the impugned notification dated 31.12.1971 as illegal and directed the proforma respondent Nos. 3 and 4 to hand over the possession of Moon Cinema Hall to the company at once. Then in compliance of the above judgment of the High Court Division, the respondent No.3, by Notification No. ND/(N-1)/4(2)/72/11 Dacca dated 24.8.1977, deleted Moon Cinema Hall from the list published in the Notification dated 31.12.1971 and formally released Moon Cinema Hall in favour of the company with a direction to the respondent No.4 to hand over the physical possession of the same to the representative of the company. In due course, a Magistrate was also deputed to hand over possession of Moon Cinema Hall to the company but the possession could not be handedover because the proforma respondent No.5 refused to give up possession of Moon Cinema Hall to the company on the ground that they, against the above judgment of the High Court Division, has filed Civil Petition No. 291 of 1977 before this Division and obtained an order of stay. In the meantime Abandoned Properties (Supplementary Provisions) Regulation, 1977, hereinafter referred to as Martial Law Regulation No. VII of 1977, having been promulgated on 7.10.1977 prodiving, amongst others, annulment of the above judgement and order of the High Court Division dated 15. 6. 1977. Then the above civil petition was dismissed as not being pressed. 6 Thereafter the company made several representations to the respondent Nos.3 and 4 requesting them to hand over of the possession of the Moon Cinema Hall in their favour but the same was refused on the plea that in view of promulgation of MLR VII of 1977 the judgment and order of the High Court Division dated 15.6.1977 passed in Writ Petition No. 67 of 1976 stood annulled and so the said judgment was no longer binding upon them and the said Cinema Hall having vested in the Government, they were not legally bound to deliver the possession of the same to the Company. In the contempt proceedings, which in the meantime commenced at the instance of the company, the proforma respondents having taken similar stand, the company did not press those and those were accordingly discharged.

  • THE DECLINE of the MUSLIM L,EAGUE and the ASCENDANCY of the BUREAUCRACY in EAST PAKISTAN 1947-54
    THE DECLINE OF THE MUSLIM l,EAGUE AND THE ASCENDANCY OF THE BUREAUCRACY IN EAST PAKISTAN 1947-54 A H AITh1ED KAMAL JANUARY 1989 A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY OF THE AUSTRALL.\N NATIONAL UNIVERSITY 1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION The State that was bom on 14 August 1947 out of a national movement for a separate homeland for the Muslims of East Bengal drew its legitimacy and its capacity for social mobilization from one historical fact: a nearly universal commitment in 1946, on the part of the Muslim masses, to the demand for Pakistan and to the leadership of the Muslim League. The nationalist expectation that once colonial rule had ended, the party would be the single most important political institution in the new country also came true for the activists of the League. While emphasising the importance of the organisation, a Pakistani historian wrote that 'it started its career in the new State with all the advantages that a party could wish for... The country looked to it not only with respect and gratitude, but also with a passion and affection not usually associated with a political group'.1 In 1947, the League symbolised the Muslim desire for freedom and change in East Bengal. However, the change of regime in East Pakistan did not mean an abrupt and immediate transformation in the order of society. Rather it marked the beginning of a new political order that emerged as a part of the gradual and, one may perhaps say, extensive changes that were already taking place during the last phase of the Raj.

  • Reorientation of Muslim Politics in Bengal (1937-1947): Myth and Reality
    Journal of the Research Society of Pakistan Volume No. 55, Issue No. 2 (July - December, 2018) Syed Umar Hayat Altaf Ullah Reorientation of Muslim Politics in Bengal (1937-1947): Myth and Reality Abstract Soon after the advent of the British in the sub-continent particularly in Bengal during 1757, the political paradigm shifted from one to another and finally got stabled in the form of Muslim nationalism culminating into the creation of Pakistan in 1947. However, during the course of about two hundred years different identities raised their heads to be ultimately perished with the constraints of time and space. That phenomenon deserves keen analysis to understand the history of the creation of Pakistan with especial reference to the political upper and under currents in the Muslim society there. This article is an effort to understand the situation in the light of available original and secondary source materials pertaining to Bengal particularly and that of the creation of Pakistan generally. Muslim politics in Bengal, particularly 1937 to 1947 is very crucial with particular reference to the creation of Pakistan. A lot of historians have analyzed this particular phase of history with numerous views and perspectives. Consequently, confusion still persists about the history of this particular era in Pakistan Movement especially after 1940, when the then elected Chief Minister of Bengal, Sher-e-Bangal A.K. Fazlul Huq1 moved a resolution in the annual session of the All-India Muslim League, held at the Minto Park, Lahore in March 1940. The resolution was not termed as the Pakistan Resolution at the time when it was moved, rather it was known as the historic Lahore Resolution.

Professor Sugata Bose Tariq Omar Ali The Envelope of Global Trade: The Political Economy and Intellectual History of Jute in the Bengal Delta, 1850s to 1950s Abstract During the second half of the nineteenth century, peasant smallholders in the Bengal delta – an alluvial tract formed out of the silt deposits of the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna river-systems – expanded their cultivation of jute, a fibrous plant that was the world’s primary packaging material. Jute fibres were spun and woven into course cloths used to pack the world’s commodities – its grains, sugar, coffee, cotton, wool, and so forth – in their journey from farms and plantations to urban and industrial centres of consumption. The fibre connected the Bengal delta and its peasant smallholders to the vicissitudes of global commodity markets.

SAYED WIQAR ALI SHAH DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY QUAID-I-AZAM UNIVERSITY ISLAMABAD 2015 PAKISTAN NATIONAL AWAMI PARTY: NATURE AND DIRECTION OF POLITICS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HISTORY Submitted by HIMAYATULLAH DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY QUAID-I-AZAM UNIVERSITY ISLAMABAD 2015 DECLARATION I hereby declare that this dissertation is the result of my individual research, and that it has not been submitted concurrently to any other university for any other degree. Date: ____________ ____________ Himayatullah For my wife Sadaf Ahmad ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This was during my MPhil when I developed an interest in the political struggle of those leaders who were regarded the ‘champions’ of the left politics in Pakistan. It was a difficult task to study and explore the roles, these leaders played in the political development of Pakistan. I always discussed my interest with Professor (Dr.) Sayed Wiqar Ali Shah who at the end endorsed my idea to work on the National Awami Party (NAP) which was the umbrella organization of all the leftist politicians in Pakistan. I was hesitant to undertake the work which I thought was lacking in essential sources/materials. However, the idea was exciting to me for two reasons; firstly, it was my interest in the leftist political leadership and secondly it was to explore the history of the present Awami National Party (ANP) because there is not a single scholarly work available on the ANP.

On the other hand, the judiciary has been utterly politicised against a backdrop of deep-seated antagonism and mistrust between the two major political parties. Although the related literature tends to focus on either the judicialisation of politics or the politicisation of the judici ary alone, this paper argues that politicisation and judicialisation have coexisted and the relative importance of these two factors can change depending on the type of issue dealt with by the judiciary. Accordingly, this paper takes up the latest constitutional amendment case as an example, in which the Supreme Court struck down a significant constitutional change in the procedure for the removal of judges. In so doing, we demonstrate that, while judicial appointments had been deeply politicised for decades, judges across the political spectrum were very keen to uphold judicial autonomy vis-à-vis the executive branch.

  • Islamic Resurgence in Bangladesh: Genesis, Dynamics and Implications
    3 TAJ I. HASHMI Islamic Resurgence in Bangladesh: Genesis, Dynamics and Implications Apparently, the emergence of Bangladesh in 1971 in the name of Bengali nationalism signaled the departure of “political Islam” or Islam-based state ideology of the Pakistani period (1947–71). To some scholars, the creation of Bangladesh delegitimized the “two- nation theory,” which in 1947 justified the communal partition of the Indian subcontinent into India and Pakistan. Soon after its emer- gence, Bangladesh adopted the four-pronged state ideology of nationalism, democracy, socialism and secularism. However, not long after the emergence of the nation-state, Islam re-emerged as an important factor in the country, both socially and politically. Although the not-so-democratic regime of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (1972–75) retained secularism, along with democracy, socialism and nationalism, as the state principles, his assassination and the overthrow of his gov- ernment by a military coup d’état in August 1975 brought Islam-ori- ented state ideology by shunning secularism and socialism.
