Govt challenges Balochistan case verdict**
ISLAMABAD: In a move that could potentially trigger yet another bruising stand-off between the executive and the judiciary, the federation has challenged the Supreme Court’s decision regarding Balochistan’s law and order situation.
Asking for a review of its decision, the federation has asserted that the apex court order was in violation of the Constitution and actually a revival of the controversial Article 58 (2) B used by dictators to dissolve assemblies in the past.
Filed by Attorney General Irfan Qadir on Thursday, the federation challenged the apex court’s decision of October 12, just three days ahead of losing the right to file a review petition as per rules of the apex court.
In its verdict, the Supreme Court had questioned the constitutional status of the Balochistan government and had observed in its interim order that the provincial government had lost the authority to govern the province.
Full Report
I came to know about the existence of a government in Balochistan through the Supreme Court when it observed that the government had failed. It’s good to know that there was one.
Still, with the general elections around the corner, why should the court push for a new leader of the House in Balochistan? I think the court should let people of Balochistan to decide the fate of Raisani.
