Contempt of court bill 2012
And here it goes. . the bill has been approved by both senate and the parliament house.Under which, if an accused or convict of contempt of court files an appeal, his/her show-cause notice or original order will remain suspended till final disposal of the matter.
The law also states: “An accused person may also at any stage submit an apology and the court, if satisfied, may discharge him or remit his sentence.” The bill was passed by Senate on Wednesday after being earlier approved by the National Assembly on Monday amid protest from opposition lawmakers. A couple of petitioners have already challenged the law in the apex court, terming it a mala fide act on the part of the government against the judiciary. Most legal experts are of the view the Supreme Court wouldn’t look at it favourably. The bill states: “A true averment made in good faith and temperate language for initiation of action or in the course of disciplinary proceedings against a judge, before the chief justices of the Supreme Court and high courts, the Supreme Judicial Council and the federal or provincial governments, shall not amount to contempt of court.” The new law also has an overriding effect and the erstwhile Contempt of Court Act 1976 and the contempt of court ordinances 2003 and 2004 will stand repealed after its passage from Parliament and signature by the President. Besides protecting powers and performance of holders of public office mentioned in Article 248 of the Constitution, which include the president, prime minister, governors, chief ministers, federal and state ministers, the proposed contempt of court act 2012 also shields ‘any authority’ against the contempt charges. One of its clauses reads as “remarks made in an administrative capacity by any authority in the course of official business, including those in connection with a disciplinary inquiry or in an inspection note or a character roll or confidential” shall not amount to contempt of court. The above clauses are an addition in the bill so what do you guys think about it?? Will it will prevail in future or not?? Over to ya fellas. . |

The government is trying to kill two birds with one stone: through this bill it is giving total immunity to the higher public office holders on virtually any of their act on the one hand and creating a tool for pressurizing the judges through declaring that the gov't can initiate disciplinary measures against any judges.
Given the recent judiciary-executive (Gov't) tussle, one cannot say that the bill is total wrong however its repercussions are entirely counterproductive. This would give a free rein to the public office holders who would never care about court orders and would continue any act, which may be detrimental for nation but good for the self/party/gov't.

Its not "Contempt of Court Bill" rather than its permit to contempt the apex courts of country.Moreover it will incite people to contempt the courts.As much quickness in the formulation of this law is shown is not even seen in the violation of law in our country.Thus it is proved that we are competent enough to make laws as much powerful we are in breaking the laws.
PML(N) indirectly supported the Bill.Their party's parliamentarians walked out the assembly session in order keep themselves aloof from discussion on the Bill so that there will not be any contradictory speech from their side. Bill had been presented and eventually has passed but in fact we have failed.SC must be well aware that this Bill is just passed for point scoring.apparently PML(N) didn't cast their vote in favor of this Bill but also didn't oppose this as well.Is tarah vote na dalna bhi vote dalne k mutradif hy.Aey Allah Tallah in qanun sazun ko aqal-o-danish se nwaz.Ameen Na gore sikandar ,na hai qabre dara
Mite namiyon ke nishan kaise kaise

I do not know about the legal complexities of the bill, because i am not a legal expect. But as we all know that there is an action behind any reaction. So one thing is obvious that this new law is reaction of CJ's continuous tendency of hearing only selected cases. If CJ has the power of giving judgments on the basis of the constitution which is made by parliament then the parliament has the right to change the Constitution. Nothing is wrong only its usage is wrong, as the CJ was crossing the limits and using the power, the same is going. Everyone uses his/her power as we are seeing. But one thing is clear that this bill has been passed with majority and it is not imposed. Ye nobat he na ati ager SC her case ko equal importance daiti. .
And why we do not talk about the violation of traffic rule?? is violation is not contempt?? Why contempt is supposed to be contempt on just few cases?? Why Nawaz shareef was not called when he attacked the court?? why so much selectivity?? So nothing happens without reason, and behind this law there were enough reasons which lead to occurrence of this event. What we Pakistanis can do is to hope for best and do what we should do as a good citizen of Pakistan.
