Office of the Registrar of this Court has drawn attention 
towards the substance of speech delivered by Altaf Hussain, 
leader of Muttahid Qaumi Movement (MQM) on  02.12.2012 
addressing a large number of people wherein uncalled for 
expressions and aspersions were used against the Hon’ble Judges 
of Supreme Court of Pakistan.

2. 
 In the wake of situation of law & order prevailing in 
Karachi, this Court in the judgment dated 13.9.2011 passed in 
the case of Watan Party v. Federation of Pakistan (PLD 2011 SC 
997), on having examined in depth the facts and circumstances, 
on account of which lives and properties of the citizens of Karachi 
are not secured, issued directions including the one, which is 
reproduced herein below:- 
“Further observe that to avoid political polarization and to break 
the cycle of ethnic strife and turf war, boundaries Of 
administrative units like police stations, revenue estates, etc., 
ought to be altered so that the members of different 
communities may live together in peace and harmony, instead 
of allowing various groups to claim that particular areas belong 
to them and declaring certain areas as NO GO Areas under their 
fearful influence. Subsequent thereto, on similar considerations, 
in view of relevant laws, delimitation of different constituencies 
has also to be undertaken with the same object and purpose, 
particularly to make Karachi, which is the hub of economic and 
commercial activities and also the face of Pakistan, a peaceful 
city in the near future. The Election Commission of Pakistan may 
also initiate the process on its own in this behalf.” 
It is to be noted that above judgment was conceded to as no 
review petition was filed against any of the directions contained 
therein. In the said judgment a mechanism was introduced but 
subsequent thereto it was noticed that  inter alia above directions 
were not being implemented despite lapse of considerable period, 
therefore, on different occasions, the case was heard to 
implement the judgment. On 28.11.2012 a Bench of this Court 
issued direction to Election Commission for taking in hand the 
process of delimitation of the constituencies in Karachi city. 
Relevant para from the judgment is reproduced herein below:- 
  “In response to our earlier order dated 26.11.2012, Mr. 
Ishtiak Ahmed Khan, Secretary, Election Commission of 
Pakistan is present. When confronted with the observations of 
this Court regarding delimitation of different constituencies at 
Crl.MA No.765/2012 etc. 
3 
Karachi, in line with the observations in the judgment in the 
case of Wattan Party (PLD 2011 S.C.997) at page 1131, and 
the stance earlier taken by the Election Commission of 
Pakistan through its director General (elections) Syed Sher 
Afgan, he candidly conceded that neither the Article 51(5) of 
the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan 1973 nor 
section 7(2) of the Delimitation of Constituencies Act 1974 
are hurdle in the compliance of such observations. He assured 
that now the task of delimitation of different constituencies in 
Karachi has been taken up by the election Commission of 
Pakistan with the Government of Sindh, and, for this purpose, 
from today onward, he is going to hold three meetings  with 
the concerned officials of the Government of Sindh, 
particularly, the Chief Secretary, Government of Sindh to 
make substantial progress in this regard. He further assured 
that compliance of observations regarding delimitation of 
constituencies will be done/completed in its letter and spirit 
within the shortest possible time, after following due 
procedure and taking on board all the stakeholders, and such 
comprehensive report will be submitted for the perusal of this 
Court. The Chief Secretary, Government of Sindh, who is also 
present in Court, has assured fullest cooperation to the 
election Commission of Pakistan for this purpose……  
3. 
  
Needless to observe that there was no object of the 
above order except to implement the judgment of this Court 
dated 13.9.2011 in letter and spirit but it seems that after 
passing above order Altaf Hussain leader of MQM delivered a 
speech addressing to the general public/citizens of Karachi on 
telephone by availing facility of uplinking, normally provided by 
PTA, wherein uncalled for remarks and the demands were put 
forward. The script of the speech has been obtained from PEMRA, 
a perusal of the same suggests that the derogatory remarks 
made by him are critical and also contemptuous in nature. 
Extract from the speech is reproduced herein below:-

4.   
The office note was directed to be put up in Court 
because on having gone through the above material it was 
considered appropriate to examine the same on judicial side. 
5. 
  
 Prima facie, contents of the speech of Altaf Hussain, 
reproduced 
above, 
tantamount 
to 
interference 
with 
and 
obstruction of the process of the Court by advancing threats to 
the Hon’ble Judges of Supreme Court and it also tends to bring 
the Judges into hatred, ridicule and contempt. On account of 
such assertions, the process of the Court is also likely to be 
prejudiced, relating to implementation of the issues arising out of 
the directions of this Court in Watan Party’s case and subsequent 
orders dated 1.11.2012, 26.11.2012, 28.11.2012 etc. passed for 
Crl.MA No.765/2012 etc. 
6 
the implementation of the directions issued in reported 
judgment, referred to hereinabove.  
 
Criminal Original Petition No.96 of 2012: 
 
 6. 
  
This petition has been filed by Senator Haji Adeel, 
under section 5 of the Contempt of Court Ordinance, 2003 read 
with Article 204 of the Constitution, wherein after having relied 
upon the directions made by this Court in the judgment, noted 
hereinabove, inter alia it has been mentioned that in Karachi 
lives and properties of the people have not been protected and 
no respite in loss of human life since been witnessed even after 
more than a year. It was further stated that the Administration 
headed by Chief Secretary has failed to improve the situation and 
thus the directions of this Court have been willfully ignored rather 
violated. With regard to observation of this Court to avoid 
political polarization and to break the cycle of ethnic strife and 
turf war, boundaries of administrative units, like police stations, 
revenue estates etc. are to be altered so that members of 
different communities may live together in peace and harmony, 
and to delimitation of different constituencies to make Karachi as 
a peaceful city, it was mentioned that the respondents have done 
nothing and the said observations have been violated flagrantly. 
The respondents have not moved an inch with respect to the 
directions regarding arms and ammunition of prohibited and non-
prohibited bores. No appropriate legislation has been made with 
regard to land grabbing, which amounts to contempt of court. It 
was also mentioned that the directions with regard to 
compensation to those who lost their lives and properties, 
deputing of independent and de-politicised investigating agency, 
creation of special joint cell by NADRA and IGP, and collection of 
record in respect of police officials and witnesses etc. who have 
Crl.MA No.765/2012 etc. 
7 
been killed, have not been complied with. In the petition 
following prayer has been made:- 
“It is therefore prayed that the respondents be proceeded 
against under section 5 of the Contempt of the Court Act 
R/W Article 204 of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of 
Pakistan and they may be tried for contempt of court and 
punished accordingly.” 
7. 
  
In the light of above, notices under Article 204 of the 
Constitution of Pakistan read with section 3 of the Contempt of 
Court Ordinance, 2003 be issued to Altaf Husain to appear in 
person and explain as to why he should not be proceeded against 
for Contempt of Court in accordance with the Constitution and 
the law. Notice be issued to him through Secretary, Ministry of 
Foreign Affairs, Government of Pakistan as he has made above 
assertions during a telephonic address from outside the country. 
The Secretary will ascertain his correct location and shall ensure 
service upon him, through representatives of the Foreign Office 
outside the country. Similarly, a notice be also issued to him c/o 
Dr. Farooq Sattar, Deputy Convener, MQM, 494/8, Azizabad, 
Karachi. 
8. 
  
Likewise, notices under Article 204 of the Constitution 
of Pakistan read with section 3 of the Contempt of Court 
Ordinance, 2003 be issued to the respondents in Criminal 
Original Petition No.96/2012 to appear and explain as to why 
they should not be proceeded against for Contempt of Court in 
accordance with the Constitution and the law, for having been 
failed to implement the judgment in Watan Party’s case. 
9. 
  
The Advocate General of the Province of Sindh is also 
directed to submit comprehensive compliance report in respect of 
the directions contained in Watan Party’s case  and the orders 
passed thereafter by a Bench seeking implementation of the 
judgment. And if the judgment is not implemented in letter & 
Crl.MA No.765/2012 etc. 
8 
spirit, he should pinpoint the person(s) individually and 
collectively responsible for the same. In the meanwhile the 
Provincial Government through its Chief Secretary should also 
furnish a statement as to why the killing in Karachi has again 
increased and what measures have been taken to ensure the 
safety and protection of the life and property of the citizens in 
Karachi. Detail of citizens, who were killed from 13.09.2011 to 
date, be also furnished.
