The Kangaroo Court of wallabies uphold referendum
The Puppet Musharaff has his own puppets in the Supreme Court--
"The puppety pups"
The Big Red Kangaroo tells the Wallabies what to think, say and do by sign language. These boomers echo the what the Big Red says; otherwise, their flyers and joeys will be left hopping in the wilderness.--JPR.
Males are called boomers, females flyers; the young are called joeys. (ref. unknown)
SC upholds referendum: No judgment on consequences of exercise: All
petitions dismissed
By Rafaqat Ali
ISLAMABAD, April 27: The Supreme Court ruled on Saturday that the holding of the referendum was a valid exercise, but refused to pass any judgment on the issue of consequences of referendum, saying: "we leave the same to be determined at a proper forum at an appropriate time."
The Supreme Court, however, in its unanimous judgment, held that chief executive Pervez Musharraf validly removed Mohammad Rafiq Tarar and assumed the office of the president on June 20, 2001.
With regard to the consequences of the referendum, the court held: "We would not like to go into these question at this stage and leave the same to be determined at a proper forum at an appropriate time."
The nine-member Supreme Court bench, headed by Chief Justice Sheikh Riaz Ahmad, after conducting hearing for six consecutive days, decided on Saturday that the Referendum Order was issued under the powers given to President Pervez Musharraf on May 12, by the Supreme Court bench validating military takeover on the doctrine of necessity.
Dismissing all petitions challenging the holding of referendum, the court in its 18-page judgment said that the Referendum Order did not have the effects of amending the Constitution of Pakistan. |
