This constitution petition is brought to claim the following relief(s): (a) declare the memorandum bearing No.12/74/2013-ECL dated 5.4.2013 and the letter No.ECL/12/74/2013-ECL dated 2.4.2014 to be completely without jurisdiction, unconstitutional, illegal, void ab initio and of no legal effect, while quashing the same and clarifying that the petitioner is free to travel within, without or outside Pakistan and any order of the Court is self-executory and is to 2 [C.P. No. D-2072 of 2014] be implemented forthwith by the respondents and all functionaries superior or sub-ordinate to them. (b) Permanently and pending disposal of the main petition suspend the operation of the memorandum bearing No.12/74/2013-ECL dated 5.4.2013 and the letter No.ECL/12/74/2013-ECL dated 2.4.2014 while restraining the respondents, their officers, agents and cronies and all functionaries superior or subordinate to them from hampering, hindering and stopping the petitioner’s movement within, without or outside Pakistan in any manner whatsoever, while further mandating them not to take any adverse action against the petitioner. (c) Award cost and special costs. (d) Award any other relief deemed fit. M.A. No. 9682/2014, filed by the petitioner under Order 39 Rule 1 & 2 C.P.C. M.A NO.11212/2014, filed by Intervener under Order 1 Rule 10 C.P.C. 2. The brief facts as narrated in the memo of petition are that while the petitioner was abroad, following criminal cases were registered against him: a) murder of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto. b) murder of Mr.Akbar Bugti. c) lal Masjid episode. d) Judges’ confinement case. 3. According to the petitioner, he was falsely implicated in all above cases so he came back to Pakistan in March, 2013 with a view to clear his name in the above cases. The petitioner filed Criminal Bail Application Nos.262 and 263 of 2013 in this court for obtaining protective bail. However, vide order dated 29.3.2013, 21 days protective bail was granted with the observation that the petitioner would not leave the country without 3 [C.P. No. D-2072 of 2014] permission from the trial courts. Meanwhile, some petitions were filed in the hon’ble Supreme Court with the prayer that criminal proceedings under Article 6 of the Constitution of Pakistan should be brought against the petitioner. To preempt the proceedings, the Respondents issued memorandum bearing No.12/74/2013-ECL dated 5.4.2013 whereby the name of the petitioner was placed on the ECL. On 8.4.2013, the hon’ble Supreme Court while hearing Civil Petition No.2255/2010 & Constitution Petition Nos.14,16 and 18/2013 was pleased to direct the Secretary Interior to make sure that if the name of the petitioner was not already on the ECL, this shall be done forthwith and a compliance report shall be submitted in the court during course of the day. 4. The respondent Nos.1 to 4 filed their comments in which it was inter alia contended that this court lacks territorial jurisdiction to entertain and adjudicate upon the instant petition which is liable to be dismissed with costs. The name of the petitioner was included in the Exit Control List (ECL) on 5.4.2013 by the Federal Government. On 8.4.2013, the hon’ble Supreme Court also issued directions to the Federal Government to place the name of the petitioner on ECL. The Federal Government on the same day informed the Supreme Court that the petitioner’s name had been placed on ECL. 5. Mr.Farogh Naseem, learned counsel for the petitioner argued that the foremost legal issue whether the order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court dated 8.4.2013 passed in the Civil Petition No. 2255 of 2010 and others still holds the 4 [C.P. No. D-2072 of 2014] field or whether the said order dated 8.4.2013 has lapsed in view of the final order of the hon'ble Supreme Court dated 3.7.13, reported in 2013 SCMR 1683. In this regard, he contended that the order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court dated 8.4.13 was only an interim order and the said directions were not retained in the final order dated 3.7.13 which was passed on the undertaking submitted by the Attorney General on 26.6.13. The text of undertaking is reproduced in the order. In para 2 of the final order, the Hon'ble Supreme Court was pleased to observe that the prayers in the petitions were effectively accepted by the Federal Government in view of the statement as aforesaid. 6. It was further averred that interim or interlocutory orders lapse upon passing of the final order/judgment. The basic test in this regard is that an order which does not finally dispose of the lis/case is only an interlocutory/interim order, whereas any order which finally dispose of the lis/case is a final order. The order of the Apex Court dated 8.4.2013 did not finally dispose of the lis/petition. There is another facet in the expression of the principle that an interim order merges with the final order. The principle of merger implies that there is an absorption of the thing of lesser importance with the thing of greater importance, whereby the thing of lesser importance ceases to exist. 7. He further argued that order of another learned Division Bench of this Court dated 23.12.2013 in Criminal Bail Applications Nos. 262 and 263/2013 rejected the present Petitioner's contention of taking 5 [C.P. No. D-2072 of 2014] out his name from the ECL. The order dated 23.12.2013 only disposed of Applications seeking Review of the earlier order dated 29.3.2013 in Criminal Bail Applications 262 and 263/2013. The review sought was against the observation in the order dated 29.3.2013 which was to the effect that the present Petitioner should not leave the country unless so permitted by the Trial Courts, therefore, the real controversy was only to that extent. 8. The impugned memorandum, placing the present petitioner's name on the ECL dated 5.4.2013 is completely illegal, mala fide and without jurisdiction as the same does not disclose any reasons and it is also in violation of Section 24-A of the General Clauses Act because the same has been issued without any prior show cause notice. It is also against Article l0-A of the Constitution. He further argued that right to travel abroad is a fundamental right enshrined under Article 15 of the Constitution which cannot be taken away unless and until the Government could show that the Applicant was going abroad so as to meet the enemies of the country, which could endanger the security of the state. It is also a settled principle of law that mere pendency of a civil or a criminal case cannot justify the placement of a person's name on the ECL. In fact Mr. Akram Sheikh, the learned Prosecutor in the Article 6 case on 31.3.2014 candidly stated before the Trial Court that the present petitioner was not being charged with disloyalty of the State but only for violation of the Constitution. 6 [C.P. No. D-2072 of 2014] 9. The learned counsel further argued that in all four criminal trials, the present petitioner is on bail. Also in the Article 6 case the surety of the present petitioner i.e. Lt. Gen. (R) Rashid Qureshi has furnished security much more than the required amount of Rs.25 lacs, by furnishing his property papers. In fact in the Article 6 case, the learned Trial Court vide order dated 31.3.14 has clearly held that the present petitioner is not being taken into custody, and there is no restriction on his movement. It was further observed in the said order that the present petitioner can go anywhere for his medical treatment or gainful activities. 10. To quote as precedent, the learned counsel referred to that the High Court of Zimbabwe permitted the international travel of two journalists i.e. Mark Chavunbuka and Ray Choto for medical treatment abroad. The Supreme Court of Philippines permitted ex-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and her husband to travel abroad. A Judge in Tripoli, Libya permitted a journalist i.e. Al-Khatabi to travel abroad. A law is being passed in Ukraine to permit a political rival to travel abroad for medical treatment. The Federal High Court in Lagos, Nigeria granted leave to a former governor Chimaroke Nanamani to travel abroad to attend to his medical needs. The Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh (India) permitted former Chief Minister of Punjab to travel abroad for medical treatment.

Pakistan Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2005 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 8, 2006 Pakistan is a federal republic with a population of approximately 163 million. The head of state is President and Chief of Army Staff Pervez Musharraf who assumed power after overthrowing the civilian government in 1999. The head of government is Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, whom the national assembly elected over opposition parties' objections in 2004. Domestic and international observers found the 2002national assembly elections, the most recent national elections, deeply flawed. The civilian authorities maintained control of the security forces; however, there were instances when local police acted independently of government authority. The government's human rights record was poor, and serious problems remained. The following human rights problems were reported: restrictions on citizens' right to change their government extrajudicial killings, torture, and rape poor prison conditions, arbitrary arrest, and lengthy pretrial detention violations of due process and privacy rights lack of judicial independence harassment, intimidation, and arrest of journalists limits on freedom of association, religion, and movement imprisonment of political leaders corruption legal and societal discrimination against women child abuse trafficking in women and children, and child prostitution discrimination against persons with disabilities indentured, bonded, and child labor restriction of worker rights The government took significant steps to combat trafficking in persons. Its Anti-Trafficking Unit (ATU) was fully functional and resulted in increased arrests and prosecutions of human traffickers. Cooperative efforts between the military, ATU, and international organizations prevented any increase in human trafficking resulting from the October 8 earthquake.

  • Examining Pakistan's Strategic Decision to Support the US War On
    Examining Pakistan’s Strategic Decision to Support the US War on Terror Examining Pakistan’s Strategic Decision to Support the US War on Terror Dr Tughral Yamin * Abstract The decision by the Pakistani leadership to unconditionally support the US in its war on terror after the 9/11 attacks has had long-term consequences. Now that the US intervention in Afghanistan is rapidly moving towards its denouement, the implications have become painfully clear. At the time the decision was made, the prevalent environment dictated the government of Pakistan to act quickly in favour of the USA. To defy the US would have meant grave consequences. Pakistan lacked the means and resources to chart an independent path. In this atmosphere of overwhelming coercion and fear, the only rational choice was total and complete cooperation. The government of Pakistan chose to unconditionally side with the US. This paper argues that the decision- making process is short-circuited when a single person is calling the shots, and the long-term consequences can be less than satisfactory. A multi-layered decision-making process not only buys time for the decision makers, but it also makes for greater responsibility and reduces the negative fallout to a large extent. A holistic response requires greater participation from all stakeholders. It also needs courage and imagination on the part of all concerned parties. An extraordinary situation must be thought through in great detail before making a strategic commitment. Keywords: Decision-making process; War on Terror; post-9/11 South/Central Asia * Dr Tughral Yamin is a retired brigadier and is currently the Associate Dean at the Centre for International Peace & Stability, NUST Islamabad.

  • A Comparative Study of the Press in America, India and Pakistan
    The Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy Working Paper Series Covering September 11 and Its Consequences: A Comparative Study of the Press in America, India and Pakistan By Ramindar Singh Shorenstein Fellow, Fall 2001 Executive Director, Media Operations, IndusInd Entertainment Limited #2002-4 Copyright 2002, President and Fellows of Harvard College All rights reserved COVERING SEPTEMBER 11 AND ITS CONSEQUENCES A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE PRESS IN AMERICA, INDIA AND PAKISTAN By Ramindar Singh, Shorenstein Fellow, Fall 2001 The September 11 attack on the World Trade Center in New York , confronted the Press with a supreme challenge, in America where the earth-shaking event happened and in South Asia which continued to experience violent aftershocks months later. September 11 affected Americans in a most fundamental way; it forced them to re-assess their role in the world and question why they become a target for disaffected groups in faraway lands. Similar reassessments were underway on the other side of the globe, with the press in India and Pakistan asking a different set of questions about how this event would affect and alter the lives of people in the South Asia region. This paper is an attempt to analyse how the press in America responded to the need to understand and report what happened on September 11, analyse why it happened and to present this information and analysis in a professional manner untainted by emotion, sentiment or jingoism. Simultaneously it examines how the press in India and Pakistan handled a similar challenge in their region. It would be tempting, while analyzing the performance of the press in these three countries, to cover a wide spectrum of newspapers and television stations.

INTRODUCTION Meeting Regional For years, women in Pakistan have been severely disadvantaged and discriminated against. Conferences They have been denied the enjoyment of a whole range of rights - economic, social, civil and political rights and often deprivation in one of these areas has entailed discrimination in Leadership Summit another. Women who have been denied social rights including the right to education are also Local Events often denied the right to decide in matters relating to their marriage and divorce, are more easily abused in the family and community and are more likely to be deprived of the right to Nationwide Events legal redress. Often abuses are compounded; poor girls and women are trafficked and subject to forced marriage, forced prostitution or exploitative work situations such as bonded labour. In all of these situations they are likely to be mentally, physically and sexually abused, again without having the wherewithal to obtain justice.(1) Since publishing its 1999 report, Pakistan: Violence against women in the name of honour(2), Amnesty International has found that while few positive changes have taken place in the area of women's rights, the state in Pakistan still by and large fails to provide adequate protection for women against abuses in the custody of the state and in the family and the community. In fact, the number of victims of violence appears to rise.

  • Defining Shariʿa the Politics of Islamic Judicial Review by Shoaib
    Defining Shariʿa The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review By Shoaib A. Ghias A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair Professor Martin M. Shapiro Professor Asad Q. Ahmed Summer 2015 Defining Shariʿa The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review © 2015 By Shoaib A. Ghias Abstract Defining Shariʿa: The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review by Shoaib A. Ghias Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy University of California, Berkeley Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair Since the Islamic resurgence of the 1970s, many Muslim postcolonial countries have established and empowered constitutional courts to declare laws conflicting with shariʿa as unconstitutional. The central question explored in this dissertation is whether and to what extent constitutional doctrine developed in shariʿa review is contingent on the ruling regime or represents lasting trends in interpretations of shariʿa. Using the case of Pakistan, this dissertation contends that the long-term discursive trends in shariʿa are determined in the religio-political space and only reflected in state law through the interaction of shariʿa politics, regime politics, and judicial politics. The research is based on materials gathered during fieldwork in Pakistan and datasets of Federal Shariat Court and Supreme Court cases and judges. In particular, the dissertation offers a political-institutional framework to study shariʿa review in a British postcolonial court system through exploring the role of professional and scholar judges, the discretion of the chief justice, the system of judicial appointments and tenure, and the political structure of appeal that combine to make courts agents of the political regime.
