Re: Presidential Immunity
Never in the history of judiciary immunity has been assumed in any country what-so-ever. I twas always claimed and it was up to the courts to grant/deny the immunity. Please carefully the article I posted. Nowhere in the world it was self acclaimed/assumed as our govt. is doing presently. Question of immunity negates the basic principle of equal legal status for everyone.. and parliament (according to some jurist) can not legislate against this basic principle of equal justice even if they want to. Moreover our constitution states that no legislation can be made against the principles of Islam. Therefore granting immunity to the president is against the spirit of the constitution of Pakistan and thus the parliament can not decide the immunity for anyone.
