ORDERAsif Saeed Khan Khosa, J.:
Upon his persistent andwillful disobedience in complying with the directions issued by thisCourt in paragraphs No. 177 and 178 of the judgment handeddown in the case of
Dr. Mubashir Hassan (PLD 2010 SC 265) theformer Prime Minister of Pakistan / Chief Executive of theFederation Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani was tried, convicted andsentenced for committing contempt of this Court and consequentlyhe stood disqualified as a member of the National Assembly andalso stood removed from the office of the Prime Minister ofPakistan / Chief Executive of the Federation. Thereafter RajaPervaiz Ashraf, MNA was elected to the said exalted office and on27.06.2012 this Court had expressed hope and confidence that thenew Prime Minister / Chief Executive, who had stepped into theshoes of his predecessor in office, would implement the abovementioned directions of this Court. On that date the learnedAttorney-General for Pakistan was required to obtain instructionsfrom the new Prime Minister / Chief Executive in the matter and toinform this Court of his response on the next date of hearing, i.e.12.07.2012.
2. On 12.07.2012 the learned Attorney-General for Pakistan didnot come up with any definite response of the Prime Minister / Chief Executive in the relevant regard. In its order passed on thatdate this Court reproduced its earlier order dated 08.03.2012wherein the then Prime Minister / Chief Executive was directed toimplement the directions of this Court contained in paragraphs No.177 and 178 of the judgment delivered in the case of
Dr. Mubashir Hassan “regardless of any advice tendered earlier or in future” andwhile reiterating the said direction the present Prime Minister / Chief Executive was also directed accordingly while requiring himto act in the matter forthwith and to cause a report to besubmitted before this Court in that regard by 25.07.2012 failingwhich this Court might initiate any appropriate action under theConstitution and the law. It is quite unfortunate that the PrimeMinister / Chief Executive failed even to comply with that orderand neither the directions contained in paragraphs No. 177 and178 of the judgment in
Dr. Mubashir Hassan ’s case were obeyed till25.07.2012 nor any report called for in the earlier order of thisCourt was submitted by the specified date. Instead, on 25.07.2012the learned Attorney-General for Pakistan sought time till today towork out a solution to the outstanding issues but no meaningfulprogress in that regard has been reported by him today.3. On the last date of hearing the learned Attorney-General forPakistan had maintained before us that this Court was notproperly assisted on facts and law before rendering its judgment inthe case of
Dr. Mubashir Hassan and also at the time of handingdown its judgment in the review petition filed in that case and,therefore, the said judgments were, in his words, “un-implementable” and proper recourse for seeking revisiting of those judgments by this Court is being mulled by the FederalGovernment. We had on the last date of hearing, and we havetoday, remained unable to subscribe to the said submission of thelearned Attorney-General on account of the fact that the said judgments passed by a Larger Bench of this Court and by the FullCourt respectively have already attained finality and also becausethe present Bench is only seized of implementation proceedings
