Attorney General Mansoor Usman says that the Supreme Court has misinterpreted the constitution of the life disqualification case.
Supreme Court Misinterpretation
During the hearing of the case related to the interpretation of Article 62 One F of the Constitution, Attorney General Mansoor Usman referred to the Ishaq Khakwani case of 2015 in his arguments and said that the Ishaq Khakwani case was not discussed in the Samiullah Baloch case.
The Chief Justice of Pakistan said that it is very strange that the Khakwani case was not discussed in the Samiullah Baloch case. Justice Mansoor Ali Shah asked the Attorney General what the Khakwani case actually was.
Attorney General said that the Khakwani case was related to disqualification, what will the Court of Law do? In 2015, a 7-member bench raised this issue. The Samiullah Baloch case did not answer the question of the Court of Law. Is there a reference to the Ishaq Khakwani case?
The Attorney General said that the Khakwani case was not discussed in the Samiullah Baloch case, Justice Jawad S. Khawaja had written that he would see the matter in the relevant case, after that the matter was never seen.
Justice Qazi Faiz Isa said no one said that this matter is under the jurisdiction of the Federal Shariat Court. Jurisdiction over Islamic matters belongs to the Shariat Court, the Attorney General said that the decision of lifelong disqualification in the Samiullah Baloch case is not correct, the Supreme Court has misinterpreted the constitution in the case of lifelong disqualification, the Supreme Court should determine the eligibility of politicians. Who has to give the declaration?

On which Mansoor Usman said the court has to determine various constitutional questions, the court should decide who should give the declaration of disqualification, the court should decide what is the court of law.
