Responding to media questions, Federal Law Minister Nazir Tarar said that this case was not a case of winning or losing, actually this case was only a case of clarifying the constitutional point. A review petition was sent to the Chief Justice, objections were raised by political parties and the Pakistan Bar Council. After which these judges voluntarily separated themselves from the bench. I appreciate their decision. Because justice should be seen to be done.

Azam Nazir Tarar said that after these judges, two more judges have stated that the basis of maintainability is that we request to dismiss the petitions, and voluntarily recused themselves from the case. The judges said that Musuto should not have acted in this case as the matter is pending in the High Courts. Later, the other five judges proceeded with the proceedings of the case. In today’s judgment, three judges have said that the proceedings are maintainable. The Attorney General argued during the hearing that there is Article 254 of the Constitution which states that if a thing under the Constitution has to be done within a specified time and that If the thing does not happen at that time, then it will not be unconstitutional, i.e. the election is not held within 90 days. And in today’s decision, the judges, looking at the facts on the ground, said that the Governor and the ECP or the President and the ECP should be given a date in consultation.

Azam Nazir Tarar said that in today’s decision two judges have induced the decision of two judges on February 23.

He said that we believe that these petitions have been rejected by four to three because four honorable judges write that these petitions are not hearable.

In response to a question, Azam Nazir Tarar says that I am sorry to say that the President of the country has been guilty of violating the constitution. Who made a decision and withdrew it, then his lawyer admitted in court that my client had overstepped his authority. The thing to think is that the President is a constitutional post so he should work under the constitution, but he worked as a party worker. As a citizen of Pakistan, this is very painful for me.
