IF THERE IS A MAJORITY, THEN ELECT YOUR CHAIRMAN SENATE BY DISTRUST, ISLAMABAD HIGH COURT

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has rejected the plea of Yousuf Raza Gilani against the chairman Senate election, declaring it inadmissible. The intervention will weaken the sovereignty of the House.

During the hearing, Yousuf Raza Gilani's lawyer Farooq H Naik said that the votes were rejected for stamping the name inside the box. He said that if there is a majority, then bring no-confidence and become the chairman of the Senate, they cannot interfere in the affairs of the parliament.

Chief Justice Islamabad High Court Athar Minallah in his 13-page judgment said that the court expects the supremacy of Parliament to be ensured. It is expected that the problems of the parliament will be resolved within the parliament.

The decision said that under Article 69, the court could not intervene in the matter. The election of the chairman is an internal matter of the Senate. The entire election process is beyond the jurisdiction of the High Court.

Chief Justice Islamabad High Court Athar Minallah in his 13-page judgment said that the petition against the election of Chairman Senate is not admissible.

Chief Justice Islamabad High Court Justice Athar Minallah heard the petition of Yousuf Raza Gilani against the decision of Sadiq Sanjrani to win the Senate election.

Yousuf Raza Gilani's lawyer Farooq H Naik took the position that the President had appointed GDA Senator Muzaffar Hussain Shah as the presiding officer for the election of Chairman Senate.

Sherry Rehman, Saeed Ghani, and I have given a statement in the affidavit court that the Secretary Senate had asked us to affix the seal anywhere inside the box and after the request of the Secretary Senate we asked our senators to affix seal anywhere. The presiding officer rejected the vote on the seal of the name inside the box, Sadiq Sanjrani was declared chairman of the Senate in the election, and declared the defeat of Yousuf Raza Gilani by rejecting 7 votes.

Farooq H Naik further said that the Election Commission has no role in the election of the Chairman Senate. If there is any irregularity in the procedure, it cannot be challenged in court.

Yousuf Raza Gilani has a majority in the Senate both on election day and today. Can the internal proceedings of Parliament be challenged in court? If Yousuf Gilani has a majority then he can remove Sadiq Sanjarani, Parliament is to solve big problems, can't he solve his own problem? Should the court intervene in parliamentary matters? The Islamabad High Court, after hearing the arguments, dismissed Gilani's plea as inadmissible.
