During the hearing today, Justice Jamal Mandokhel remarked that my words yesterday created confusion, the media is not worried, but some retired judges called me and contacted me.
He said that yesterday the news went out and I said that 2 judges call the decision of 8 judges wrong, I want to clarify that yesterday I mentioned individuals and not judges regarding not accepting the decision.
Justice Jamal Mandokhel said that he wanted to say that the decision of 8 judges is said by 2 people in a gathering that it is like this, some media colleagues reported it incorrectly, the 21st Constitutional Amendment was made because the country was in a state of war.
Justice Jamal Mandokhel remarked that the powers of the courts formed under Article 175 are broad, the jurisdiction of the court formed under a specific law is also limited.
Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhel said that a person was released from the Supreme Court after 34 years, what is the benefit of someone getting justice after 34 years, we are only seeing that no one’s rights are affected.
