Re: Sharia and Swat
I know that the regulation lists certain laws that will still hold in the area, but I dont know the following:
Is that list exhaustive? How much of federal and provincial laws does that cover? Why the need to list specific acts and ordinances if it is basically the entire set of federal and provincial law?
In the event of conflict between qazi's view of sharia and existing federal law, what is supreme?
See this text:
[quote]
(2) All the laws applicable to the said area, including the laws mentioned in sub‑paragraph (1), shall so apply subject to such exceptions and modifications as specified in this Regulation.

Given that one modification is that Qazi sahab can seek recourse to Quran/Sunah/Ijma/Qiyas/Reputable religious personality when deciding matters and apparently can make exceptions and modifications accordingly, does it not mean that Federal Law is infact not supreme?
